A true American iCON for sure. Thank you for teaching white people how to dance....well at least trying to teach them!
Host and TV producer Dick Clark has died. He was 82.
It was first reported by the news Wednesday afternoon. A rep told the site that Clark
underwent surgery Tuesday night and suffered a "massive" heart attack following
the procedure.
Clark started his career as a radio announcer at WRUN in Utica, N.Y., when
he was 17. His long-running show, "American Bandstand," was on the air from 1957-1989.
"Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" began in 1972 and continues to this day
with Ryan Seacrest.
Clark launched the American Music Awards in 1973. He became a Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame inductee in 1993.
Clark suffered a stroke in December 2004. He continued performing even after
the stroke, even though it had affected his ability to speak and walk.
