I didn’t really even know the history of Dick Clark, and only new he was famous by being an entertainer (I’m 27 so I wasn’t around for his early history!), and obviously from hosting the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve every year. Well I did some research and found out that his career exploded when he was the host on a show called “American Bandstand, a show where boys and girls danced to new hits and singles. Many popular artists showed up on American Bandstand and when Dick moved to California so did “American Bandstand! He was popular with a variety of other shows and even the “American Music Awards.

Especially that he started working in a radio-station mailroom! Anyway, here are some powerful pictures of Dick Clark throughout his life, I hope they inspire you!
