OzarkWoman Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 It was confirmed that he died this morning of a massive heart attack. I already missed him after he had that stroke he had and no longer did the New Year's Eve thing he always did. RIP Quote
Administrators Gail Posted April 18, 2012 Administrators Posted April 18, 2012 You beat me to it! Yes, sad for all those raised on American Bandstand... Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Liz Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I was surprised he was only 82, seems he had a very long career.

Please, support the March of Dimes.
Kountzer Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I'm trying to remember when American Bandstand started. Of course that show and Dick Clark were synonymous. That's where he made his name. After that you had to have Dick Clark on television on new year's eve. It just wasn't right without him. He will be missed for sure.

Administrators Gail Posted April 19, 2012 Administrators Posted April 19, 2012 Do you remember who used to do the big show on New Year's Eve at Times Square before Dick Clark did it? Guy Lombardo Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Dottie Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Guy Lombardo and His Canadians always had dance music--I think it was the Rainbow Room. The Times Square was done by newscasters? Quote
