ALSO - There is the clip of him introducing the Beatles Strawberry Fields Forever to American youth. He's a tad condescending.

Come with me to Abbey Road. Let me take you down....

God rest his soul.

But I am conflicted about Dick Clark in too many ways to even count. At a point in the early sixties there was a ban on African American performers on American Bandstand that - although he did not initiate - he let happen.

Also, in 1973, he gave a list of the most influential pop stars of the era. He had David Cassidy (WHO???) Bobby Sherman (WHO???) and Donny Osmond (WHO???) above the Beatles.

I wish him well on his journey, but....

I was his Electrical Contractor on the "Bandstand" restaurant job in Miami, back in 1990-91. We grew up watching Bandstand, it kept us off the streets after school.

I had no idea. He was an icon to many in my generation. Until recently, he never aged! I envied him every New Years Eve when he would kiss his wife at midnight. Rest in peace

I just hear this. I remember watching American Bandstand with my father when I was around 8 years old. It was Elvis Presely's birthday. I'll never forget that. AB was one great show.

I know NPC. My father and I were watching the show back in the early 60's maybe and they were giving him a tribute for his birthday.

RIP Dick Clark. I remember the early days of American Bandstand and his Saturday night show based in Philadelphia. A pioneer in the early days of rock and roll. An icon for the ages.
