Thanks for the memories

Long live American Bandstand.

Grew up on it :-)
RIP

Clark suffered a heart attack in 2004 but returned to the airwaves.

The eternal teenager was the longtime host of “American Bandstand, and his “Rockin’ Eve” became a New Year’s Eve alternative to Guy Lombardo’s longtime annual television show.

Clark began his career in the mailroom of New York radio station WRUN, and as a teenager was already filling in for the weatherman and announcer. He eventually spun discs at WFIL in Philadelphia, creating a show called “Dick Clark’s Caravan of Music,” then hosted “Bandstand,” an afternoon dance show for teenagers.

Five years later, the whole nation was watching.

He began Dick Clark Productions in 1963, and his name was on shows like “The $25,000 Pyramid” and “”TV’s Bloopers & Practical Jokes.” He began his New Year’s Eve show in 1972.

He was quite a guy.

New Years will not be the same!!!!
R.I.P. DC...........

Got my vote! He was a positive influence on me. I was a kid in the '70's and from my first memories..Dick Clark was there.

I LOVED American BandStand. (I also loved Soul Train, and Solid Gold)

I remember when he had Madonna make her debut on American BandStand.

He was one of the rare happy guys who no one EVER talked schitt about.

Farewell man. I certainly apprecieate the job you did so well. It is engrained. Be nice...have fun....and don't show up unless people are gonna dance.

(I hope you make everyone dance in the next life too!)

You can always tell when their going to die soon. That one eye sort of drifts off from the other one. Kinda like a Walmart greeter. You know.

On the red-faced photo he looks like a mix of Bill Clinton, Jimi Carter and Prez George Bush Sr. Maybe even a bit of Nixon thrown in for good measure. And he would be also eerily close to Raegan, if Dick Clark also had pitch-black, charcoal black hair.

Rest in peace, Mr. Clark.....no one can ever take your place.

great memories watching Dick Clark as I was growing up ..RIP Dick Clark
