Dick Clark’s American Bandstand

Dick Clark’s American Bandstand is the evocative souvenir of the show’s history and one of the first opportunities Clark has had to reminisce about the people who produced, watched, and appeared on American Bandstand. His reflections on the early days of rock ‘n’ roll, when Bandstand played such an influential role in bringing the new sound to a mass audience, are a blast from the past for the generations of people who grew up with the show. Colorful memorabilia from each decade and extensively captioned photographs from the Bandstand archives provide visual counterpoint to Clark’s candid, behind-the-scenes look at the program. With a magnificent full-size poster of “footprint” dance steps, anecdotes about songs and performers, and sidebars filled with facts and trivia about the music and the kids who danced on the show, this nostalgic book is a rockin’ trip down memory lane.

RIP Dick Clark – American Bandstand dance to Peter Brown’s dance with me. This was an American musical variety dance show that aired in various versions from 1952 to 1989, hosted from 1957 until its final season by Dick Clark, who also served as producer. The show featured teenagers dancing to Top 40-type music introduced by Clark; at least one popular musical act—over the decades, running the gamut from Jerry Lee Lewis to Run DMC—would usually appear in-person to lip-sync one of their latest singles. Freddy “Boom Boom” Cannon holds the record for most appearances at 110. The show’s popularity helped Dick Clark become an American media mogul and inspired other similar long-running music programs, such as Soul Train and Top of the Pops.

Coachella

It’s 1983 in Coachella Valley and Yolanda Ramírez, a lowly phlebotomist at the Palm Springs hospital, has a hunch. Gay men, hemophiliacs, and women scarred by cosmetic surgery are dying. Safe blood, like the water keeping this desert green, is a lie.

LIFE Dick Clark and the History of Rock ‘n’ Roll

Dick Clark, known widely as “America’s oldest teenager,” single-handedly formed the culture of the day on American Bandstand, and helped give rise to rock ‘n’ roll. He was a man of many roles: an entrepreneur, producer, game-show host and much more. It didn’t feel like New Year’s Eve in America if you weren’t watching Dick Clark count down the minutes. The statistics are staggering; Bandstand brought in 40 million viewers a day when the country’s population wasn’t even 200 million and when many people were at work-one might size that up to airing a Super Bowl every day! However, Dick Clark’s influence transcended the music. Against dissent, he integrated the dance floor and gave Baby Boomer America a daily vision of what a non-segregated society could be; early guests on his show included Chuck Berry and James Brown, as well as Jerry Lee Lewis and the Everly Brothers. Clark even made television an interactive pastime by reaching out to his viewers and getting them to call in and say what they thought about the couple of the day, or the song. This made Bandstand the progenitor of much of today’s TV culture-shows like American Idol, The Voice and Dancing with the Stars. Dick Clark was also a friend of LIFE’s; in this book, we bring back an earlier LIFE piece in which he reminiscences about the exciting early days of rock ‘n’ roll. He was a legend who introduced us to other legends, and for that, he will always be remembered.
