We remember Richard Wagstaff Clark who was born in Mt. Vernon, NY, on this day in 1929. On April 18, 2012, Dick Clark died of a heart attack. He was 82.
Dick Clark's American Bandstand was on the air until the late 1980s. He went from one generation to the other, from Elvis to U2. I guess that he connected so well because he never "aged". He looked as young in 1987 as he did in 1967 when we used to watch those Saturday shows.
Dick Clark was great and we thank him for all of the memories. I used to love that "rate the record" segment and the interviews.
