We're goin' hoppin' (hop!)
We're goin' hoppin' today
Where things are poppin' (pop!) the Philadelphia way
We're gonna drop (drop!) in on all the music they play
On the Bandstand American Bandstand..

On October 13, 1952, WFIL-TV began a local show called Bandstand. Originally hosted by Bob Horn, it kept Philadelphia teenagers up-to-date on the latest dance steps. Horn was fired following a drunk driving arrest. On July 9, 1956, Richard Wagstaff "Dick" Clark took over as host. By the spring of 1957, he pitched it to ABC with this decision completely racially intigrated the show and went national as American Bandstand on August 5, 1957. Dick Clark held the job for the next thirty years, becoming a major media mogul and earning the nickname “America’s Oldest Teenager”. On February 21 1970, Michael Jackson and the rest of the Jackson 5 introduced themselves to America with their TV debut on American Bandstand. They performed a few hits and Michael also talked to Dick Clark. The performances show not only that the group were amazing performers working together, but that Michael was a superstar in the making. Watching MJ sing and dance like that as an 11-year-old kid where the group perform classic hits like “I Want You Back.”

Michael Jackson Called Dick Clark his "Second Dad"..

Michael Jackson once called Dick Clark his "second dad" the veteran US TV presenter has revealed. Clark, 80, is to be honoured at the 2010 Daytime Emmy Awards in Las Vegas.
Well known in the US for presenting American Bandstand, the TV host met the late pop singer when he was just 11.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Clark says: "Michael [and I] had a 40-year friendship from the time he was just a kid to when he became the biggest star in the world.
"I remember the first time I interviewed an 11-year-old Michael on Bandstand.
"He insisted on taking the microphone from me. When I heard the news of his passing, I thought of the photograph he signed to me as his 'Second Dad'."
"I knew Michael as a child and watched him grow over the years. Of all the thousands of entertainers I have worked with, Michael was THE most outstanding. Many have tried and will try to copy him, but his talent will never be matched. He was truly one-of-a-kind"

Tinkerbell thanks for this; it brought back fond memories. I have some of this footage on DVD. It seems Michael called more than one person his "second dad." That is certainly an honor.

 

[suzynyc]

I don't specifically remember...but I am sure I must have seen their 1970 appearance on Bandstand as a 5 year old. They were everywhere at the time.

OHH Dick was a wonderful person and was all about the music. RIP.

 

[suzynyc]

Another icon I grew up watching on TV and all my life is gone. New Year's Eve will never be the same.

 

[Silouette]

Dick Clark didn't let any grass grow under his feet. There are so many ventures that he
created and was responsible for. A long list of achievements. One such thing was
bringing Black kids and White kids together under one roof to enjoy dancing.

Just like Soul Train with Don Cornelius, I always loved watching Bandstand to enjoy the music,
dancers, and guests. Wow. The 2 dance show hosts have the same initials. DC

Rest in peace Mr. Clark. You made New Years Eve, and so much more, enjoyable events for many.

 

[CaptainEoLove85]

RIP Dick Clark. He was before my time, but I enjoyed watching him every New Year's Eve, which he continued to do even after his stroke. He had a great run.

 

[Silouette]

Yes he kept hosting the show til Ryan Searcrest took over in 2006, I believe.
I thinks its amazing that Mr. Clark was able to came back a short year later after his stroke.

 

[soulmum]

Thank you for this, brought back so many memories. R I P Dick Clark.

I spoke to my father who watched Dick Clark long before I was born and he said it like this " Dick Clark has been doing this every year of your life !!" When he put it like that it broke my heart I sat stunned just trying to figure how I will ever watch a New Years Rockin Eve without Dick Clark :swoon: My entire life Dick has been there when I was solo on New Years, when I had no money to go out and celebrate Dick was there always !! Dick Clark never disappointed his audience for more then 50 years of his career because that is who he was not what he was PAID to do !!

President Obama Leads Tributes to TV host Dick Clark...
'For Now, So Long'...US TV presenter Dick Clark dies
US TV host Clark suffers stroke.. April 19th, 2012

Ryan Seacrest (l) joined the Rockin' New Year's Eve show after Dick Clark had a stroke


Tributes have been pouring in following the death of American veteran TV presenter Dick Clark, with President Barack Obama saying he "reshaped the television landscape forever".

Clark, who was 82, died following a heart attack on Wednesday.

He produced and presented a host of programmes including American Bandstand and an annual New Year's Eve special.

Ryan Seacrest, who took over the New Year's Eve special, called him "one of the greatest influences in my life".

Clark suffered a stroke in 2004, which led to Seacrest joining as host of Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve.

"I idolised him from the start, and I was graced early on in my career with his generous advice and counsel," said Seacrest.

Star Quotes:

But more important than his groundbreaking achievements was the way he made us feel - as young and vibrant and optimistic as he was&#8221;
President Barack Obama

"When I joined his show in 2006, it was a dream come true to work with him every New Year's Eve for the last six years."
Clark hosted and produced the music show American Bandstand from 1957 to 1987. The show saw groups of teenagers dancing to the top 40 tracks of the day, with a guest performer singing their latest hit.

An astute businessman and producer, Dick Clark was also referred to as "the world's oldest teenager" because of his youthful appearance.
Jack Black, Moby , Sheryl Crow and Rita Wilson all paid tribute to the television presenter
President Obama said: "Michelle and I are saddened to hear about the passing of Dick Clark. With American Bandstand he introduced decades worth of viewers to the music of our times.

"For 40 years, we welcomed him into our homes to ring in the New Year.

"But more important than his groundbreaking achievements was the way he made us feel - as young and vibrant and optimistic as he was."

Among the guests on American Bandstand were the artists from the Motown roster.

Motown founder Berry Gordy said: "Dick was always there for me and Motown, even before there was a Motown.

[youtube]QrTMbmARUZc[/youtube]

"He was an entrepreneur, a visionary and a major force in changing pop culture and ultimately influencing integration. It happened first emotionally. Music can do that. He didn't do it from a soap box, he just did it."

American Bandstand also spawned the show So You Think You Can Dance, which has been reproduced around the world.

Record producer Clive Davis said: "Dick Clark was a true pioneer who revolutionised the way we listened to and consumed music.

"Before American Idol, X Factor and The Voice, even before MTV, it was American Bandstand, which brought the most popular music of the day straight to the nation's living rooms.

Dick Clark took over American Bandstand in 1957.

"Many artists made their debut on the Bandstand stage, and for generations he steadfastly welcomed millions of fans to his celebrations of the best of contemporary music. For me he ranks right up there with the giants of our business."

Dick Clark also created the American Music Awards (AMAs) in 1973, to compete with the Grammys.

Michael Jackson is credited with winning the most AMAs, collecting 27 during his lifetime.

His sister Janet Jackson tweeted: "Dick Clark changed the face of musical television. He was wonderful to many artists including our family. We will miss him. God bless."

Dick Clark Interviews Prince on American Bandstand

• Article by: JON BREAM
•Star Tribune
•April 18, 2012 - 9:09 PM


Dick Clark picked up the phone and cut to the chase. "What is this interview for?" said the man who was involved with too many TV projects for a reporter to keep track of. He wanted to know the subject and the media in which this interview was to be presented.

When he learned it was "The American Music Awards" for a newspaper, he said to fire away and, in his answers, he proceeded to drop more expletives than Axl Rose at a Guns N' Roses concert.

That interview took place in 1995. I asked one of popular music's all-time most important tastemakers to revisit his infamous 1980 interview with Prince, our local hero, on "American Bandstand." Prince was just starting out. While he was exciting when he performed, he was shy and standoffish when trying to talk.

Clark asked the musician how many instruments he played. Prince answered, "Thousands."

Asked how long he'd been playing, Prince merely raised four fingers.

Clark remembered it vividly. "He didn't talk to me," the "Bandstand" host said 15 years after the fact. "I've always said that was one of the most difficult interviews I've ever conducted, and I've done 10,000 musician interviews."

Was it Prince? Was it Clark? Was it the moment?

"No, that's the nature of the man," said Clark, who had since worked with Prince a few times on "The American Music Awards."

"He's an extraordinary performer and not a particularly verbose one in public conversation. Though once you're off-camera, he's like everybody else -- very normal. It's like all of the mystery people in entertainment. Michael Jackson's not a communicator in public but in the privacy of a room, he's like everybody else: He talks. And Prince is the same. ... But I don't advise him on career moves."

MJ ESTATE REMEMBERS DICK CLARK


Dick Clark was one of the world&#8217;s greatest showman and one of pop music&#8217;s most influential ambassadors. He made music history many times over. Bandstand brought black entertainers and their music into living rooms across America for the first time, and in Atlanta in 1958, he put on one of the first racially integrated pop music concerts, while the National Guard looked on. Michael and Dick had a very special relationship, and we think of him fondly and with gratitude.
