paul secor Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 I remember having the flu being home sick from school for a few days in late 1957. Saw Chuck and Jerry Lee on American Bandstand. That changed my life. Dick Clark and American Bandstand also introduced me to a bunch of junk music along with the good. It was my job to sort all of that out and eventually I did. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Does she say 'Dick Clark' at :26? Quote
Dave James Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Clearly someone operating outside of his comfort zone. Asking some of the same questions he might have asked Elvis a decade earlier. This was right around the time Clark began to lose relevance in terms of where the music was going. I wonder to what extent, if any, he was aware of that. Quote

Christiern Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 Jim, I think we all know how to Google YouTube and search Dick Clark. That said, Some of Clark's darker side is beginning t emerge. Saw one of those silly entertainment programs reveal bits and pieces of truth, but the video clips were followed by a hare-brained hostess trying to balance it with the usual hype. Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 At any rate now Dick Clark can meet up with Alan Freed again up there at that DJ's Turntable in The Sky and they can both discuss it out as to who was shrewd enough to make token admittances and therefore back out of tha Payola business in time and save his butt before everybody started to dig deep enough to hit pay... no, not dirt but ...smut.

7/4 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Posted May 29, 2012 clearly the most important thing that's happened since the turn of the century. Quote
Pete C Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 He was in many ways an opportunistic fraud. I think you have a little black book full of them. Quote
JSngry Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 What, of the good old days when you wore white shoes with a dark suit and turned a woman into a marionette? Quote
mjzee Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 The first heavy metal band! I saw this when it was first broadcast, and it made a huge impression on me - I had to find the single. There was a nice tribute to Dick Clark on the ACM Awards broadcast last night. Quote
Christiern Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 He was in many ways an opportunistic fraud. I think you have a little black book full of them. As a disc jockey in Philly from 1958-60, I saw the bastard up close and knew some who had been in his way when he clawed to the top. I'm sorry that I intruded on yet another of JSngry's YouTube franchises. Quote

Same here...with a Mose Allison cover on the flipside! Mighta made Mose some money, if the accounting was true. Quote
