Best known for their hits as <a href="spotify:artist:0WnxcAN2X6IKcdaZpi5X1K">the Rip Chords</a>, the vocal duo of <a href="spotify:artist:0yiSGGu3grpaH56F9znIeU">Bruce Johnston</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:475VVD6Qmx48VSjrX6y1Xz">Terry Melcher</a> collaborated on countless hot-rod and surf records during the mid-1960s, working under a seemingly endless variety of studio guises. While <a href="spotify:artist:0SjQ3WWmKE3K9uUG2Xiq1C">Johnston</a> was already a well-known West Coast session player, <a href="spotify:artist:475VVD6Qmx48VSjrX6y1Xz">Melcher</a> (the son of <a href="spotify:artist:3ESG6pj6a0LvUKklENalT6">Doris Day</a>) had released a series of singles under the name Terry Day before being named Columbia Records' youngest-ever staff producer; he brought <a href="spotify:artist:0SjQ3WWmKE3K9uUG2Xiq1C">Johnston</a> to the company to release 1963's Surfin' Round the World, and the pair soon began collaborating regularly. As <a href="spotify:artist:0WnxcAN2X6IKcdaZpi5X1K">the Rip Chords</a>, they scored their biggest hit with 1964's "Hey Little Cobra; " a series of singles credited to Bruce and Terry followed before the duo went their separate ways, with <a href="spotify:artist:0SjQ3WWmKE3K9uUG2Xiq1C">Johnston</a> joining <a href="spotify:artist:3oDbviiivRWhXwIE8hxkVV">the Beach Boys</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:475VVD6Qmx48VSjrX6y1Xz">Melcher</a> enjoying even greater success as a producer. In mid-1998 the Sundazed label compiled The Best of Bruce and Terry, a 20-track collection of their hits. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
