1957: Dick Clark and "American Bandstand"

We grew up watching "American Bandstand".    Like "The Lone Ranger", the show went from one generation to the other.

AB went national on this day in 1957 and the rest is TV and music history.  AB was on every Saturday at noon central time or something like that .

AB's success was due to the music and the kids who danced every week.   Dick Clark understood that the audience wanted to hear the music and see the couples dancing.  And that's why he was so successful.
