Dean Beard - Party Party // ATLANTIC Promo.45 RPM ROCK AND ROLL!!!

Dean Beard was born on August 31, 1935 in Santa Anna TX. Dean made his start in 1955 for the Fox label. At the beginning of 1957 he cut some recordings for the Sun label, Memphis TN, Sam Phillips never published these recordings.

Dean would later attribute his short-lived association with Sun Records as having "something to do with all the women and the partying".

After this disappointment, Dean will pass to a label of Abilene (Texas): Edmoral Records (57), then at Atlantic (57-58). In 1958, one finds it pianist of the Champs, then, the same year in solo at Challenge (58-59). He recorded then for many small labels of which: Villa (60?), Gaylo (62), Candix (62), Joed (62), Winston (62-63), Gina (64?), Sangelo (65?), Sims (66) and Boots And Saddle Records.

Dean Beard was from West Texas and sometimes opened for Elvis, Scotty and Bill in Breckenridge and Stamford, TX.

He formed a band called "Dean Beard & The Crew Cats" which featured Dean on piano, James Steward on lead guitar, Jimmy Seals on sax and Dash Crofts on drums where they played regularly to large crowds in the area's American Legions, VFW's and clubs.
In 1958 Dean, Jimmy Seals & Dash Crofts became members of "The Champs" which had recently had a hit with "Tequila". Dean didn't stay with them long and Seals and Crofts after several years would break off and go on to success with their band of the same name.

Dean suffering from ill health pretty much left music as a profession, however, in 1967 he recorded a record in Nashville that included Chip Young, Scotty Moore, Pete Drake, D.J. Fontana and The Jordanaires. The record was never released.
