Dick Clark's American Bandstand (1957-89)


It's 1964. Dick Clark Sets the Stage and All the Kids on 'American ...
On this day in 1989, Dick Clark announced his retirement from "American Bandstand".   It started in 1957 and went on for 33 seasons on ABC-TV.

Like some of you, I spent a few Saturdays in my life watching Dick Clark introduce one of the week's top songs and watching young couples dance.


He died in 2012 and "American Bandstand" is available for new generations to see what life was like back then.
