While most identify 1964's "California Sun" with the Rivieras (from sun-drenched South Bend, Indiana), the song originated with New Orleans R&B singer Joe Jones, who is known for his Top Ten hit, "You Talk Too Much." Jones recorded "California Sun" in an R&B style backed by a horn section but met little success. The Rivieras replaced Jones' horn section with a guitar and organ trading riffs and reached #5 with the track. "California Sun" was covered in 1977 by punk rock pioneers the Ramones, who added distortion and amped up the speed of the Rivieras' track.
