This needs a sticky

What?

Sad and unexpected. I was just watching the Prince 79/Andre Cymone 85 clips of Bandstand yesterday online.

R.I.P to the world's oldest teenager. Thanks for the music on Saturday afternoons.

Wow, when Don died two months ago, I said "won't be awhile until Dick goes..."

And look what happened.

RIP Mr. Clark.

That's what I was thinking too.

I saw Dick recently on both Branded and Batman.

Its very sad when we hear of those we grew up watching or listening to passing away.. I guess

in some ways it kinda makes us see how we are ALL growing older...

Rest In Peace Dick. You brought music and fun to Amercia for a LONG LONG time and you deserve your reward up in heaven.

I wonder if Prince will make comment of this??

Ahhh damn! I kinda figured after Don's demise, Dick was going to soon follow pretty quickly.

So many memories of American Bandstand on Saturday afternoons. And 100,000 Pyriamid remains my all-time favorite game show.

This year is just...

R.I.P. Dick Clark. A legend forever.

Very sad .

It's truly the end of an era. Dick Clark was a pop culture icon/pioneer. He will be greatly missed.

RIP

RIP Dick Clark...say hi to mj

I'm scared of who's next, honestly. We all know Robin Gibb might be, but I'm getting scared there's going to be another one that shocks us. I've been having the nagging feeling lately anyways.

RIP Dick Clark. An American icon.

Everyone from that generation is dying off. Won;t be long til they're all gone

Very sad about this news but not really that unexpected, considering his recent health issues. After he suffered his stoke back in 2004 he wasn't the same person afterward. The appearances he made on his New Year's Rockin Eve show in 2005 and 2006 were hard to watch, as he was really struggling to speak clearly. He never reallly recovered his vocie fully, but he did become a little bit more coherent in his speech in later years.

While most of us remember him from American Bandstand, he really became an uber-TV producer, creating the $25,000 Pyramid, TV Bloopers and Practical Jokes, The American Music Awards, and the Academy of Country Music Awards, and he rescued The Golden Globe Awards from being a laughingstock to becoming one of the more anticipated awards shows during Oscar and Grammy season.

RIP Mr. Clark. You will be missed.

Everyone's gotta go one day. That's why I treasure the ones we have remaining. I gave Dick his respect long before he died and before he had the stroke. Really his stroke was the beginning of the end. Health's a bitch.

Here's his little known 1970's variety show Dick Clark's Live Wednesday

Who;s that guy with Chubby and Dick?
