Early life
Alan Charles Jardine was born in Lima, Ohio, the younger of two children to Virginia and Donald Jardine. Having spent his first years of childhood in Lima, he and his family immigrated to Rochester, New York, where his father served with Eastman Kodak and taught at the Rochester Institute of Technology. His family later moved to San Francisco and then to Hawthorne, California, where he and his older brother Neal spent the remainder of their youth.
Brian Wilson, a fullback on the football team, was soon befriending backup quarterback Brian Wilson at Hawthorne High School. At a school assembly, Jardine and his brother Carl Wilson were also entertained. Jardine first registered as a student at El Camino College in 1961 after attending Ferris State University during the 1960–61 academic year. As the two worked through harmony concepts together in the college's music room, he was reunited with Brian and first suggested the prospect of forming a band. Jardine's greatest musical passion was folk, and he learned banjo and guitar specifically to play folk music. Wilson's home first attempted to pull the band into folk but was rejected in favour of rock 'n' roll.
Jardine, a versatile string player, appeared on the Beach Boys' debut album, "Surfin," (1961). In the summer of 1963 at Brian Wilson's behest, he rejoined the Beach Boys as a member of the band's drummer David Marks until October 1963, when Marks resigned from the Beach Boys after an altercation with the band's manager, Murry Wilson.
Career
Jardine performed double bass on the Beach Boys' first (and only) record for Candix Records, "Surfin," but the band dissolved a few months later in February 1962. Jardine was left to concentrate on dental school, which was a common misconception. In reality, Jardine did not apply to dental school until 1964, and the reason he left was due to creative inconsistencies and his fear that the newly formed company would not be a commercial success. Following David Marks' departure, he rejoined the Beach Boys full time in 1963.
On "Christmas Day" in 1964's The Beach Boys' Christmas Album, Jardine took the lead, followed by the Number 1 hit "Help Me, Rhonda." It was at Jardine's suggestion that the Beach Boys record a version of the folk standard Sloop John B, which Brian Wilson arranged and produced for their Pet Sounds collection in 1966.
Jardine began playing a more prominent role as a lead vocalist on live performances with the group after Brian Wilson's departure from touring in late 1964. Jardine, who made his Friends album, also became a writer and co-wrote a number of songs for the Beach Boys. California Saga: California" from the Holland album, charted in early 1973.

The first batch of Jardine albums were a hit in the United Kingdom, with the first being a measurable success.
Jardine triggered the Beach Boys' recording of a reimagining of the Mamas and Papas' "California Dreamin'" (featuring Roger McGuinn) to the No. 1 spot. In 1986, Billboard's adult contemporary chart had 8 holes on it. The associated music video was in heavy rotation on MTV and has received significant international airplay. All the surviving Beach Boys and two of the three original Mamas and Papas, John Phillips and Michelle Phillips were on display (Denny Doherty was on the East coast and died), as did former Byrds guitarist Roger McGuinn.

Jardine's band appeared on Live in Las Vegas in 2002. During this time, Jardine toured under the banners "Beach Boys Family & Friends," "Al Jardine, Beach Boy," and "Al Jardine of the Beach Boys." Mike Love, a former bandmate, decided to sue him in order to avoid the use of the Beach Boys name, which had been banned in 1999. The courts ruled in Love's favour, refusing to use the Beach Boys name in any manner. Jardine's decision was appealed in lieu of claiming $4 million in damages. Love was found to have behaved incorrectly in banning Jardine out of touring under the Beach Boys name, allowing Jardine to proceed with his lawsuit. Jardine and his band were en route to an In late 2006, Jardine joined Brian Wilson and his band for a short tour to celebrate Pet Sounds' 40th anniversary.
Jardine resolved a court case brought against him by Love and Wilson's estate concerning the use of the word "Beach Boys" in March 2008. Love had leased the Beach Boys name, and it was determined that Jardine's newly formed group, called the Beach Boys Family & Friends, was a violation of title use.

Love returned the lineup to its pre-Anniversary Tour configuration, with Love as the only original participant (Bruce Johnston joined in 1965).
