Program Notes

Since the 1950s, the name Dick Clark has been synonymous with the hottest names in popular music. Appearing on his long-standing series American Bandstand was a hit parade of trend-setting artists. Here is a fun, fast-paced medley of some of the signature moments from the Dick Clark era, including: Bandstand Boogie; Rock Around the Clock (Bill Haley); The Twist (Chubby Checker); Don't Worry Baby (Beach Boys); Rockin' Robin (Michael Jackson) and YMCA (Village People). Also included is an optional tag on Auld Lang Syne remembering many years of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.

- Program Note from publisher


Richard Wagstaff Clark (30 November 1929 – 18 April 2012) was an American radio and television personality, television producer and film actor, as well as a cultural icon who remains best known for hosting American Bandstand from 1957 to 1988. He also Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, which transmitted Times Square's New Year's Eve celebrations.

As host of American Bandstand, Clark introduced rock & roll to many Americans. The show gave many new music artists their first exposure to national audiences, including Iggy Pop, Ike & Tina Turner, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Talking Heads, Simon & Garfunkel and Madonna. Episodes he hosted were among the first in which blacks and whites performed on the same stage, and likewise among the first in which the live studio audience sat without racial segregation. Singer Paul Anka claimed that Bandstand was responsible for creating a "youth culture". Due to his perennial youthful appearance and his largely teenaged audience of American Bandstand, Clark was often referred to as "America's oldest teenager" or "the world's oldest teenager".
