Dick Clark's "American Bandstand": Watch 5 Unforgettable Moments
FUSE TV - Dick Clark's "American Bandstand": Watch 5 Unforgettable Moments
Dick Clark—the iconic host of American Bandstand and one of the music industry's most important figures—passed away on Wednesday after suffering a heart attack. Clark was 82.
As the host of American Bandstand from 1956 until its final season in 1989, Dick Clark introduced American audiences to some of music's biggest stars before they broke. For instance, Bandstand boasts the first national TV appearances of the Jackson 5, Prince and Madonna. Not bad for a show that started off on local Philadelphia TV.
Below are five classic performances from the four-decade run of American Bandstand, including Michael Jackson performing "I Want You Back" with the Jackson 5 at 11 years old.
The Beach Boys (1964)
The Beach Boys harmonize (well, lip-sync harmonize) on "Don't Worry Baby." Check out the moment at 3:30 where Clark asks the rest of the band if they have the power to vote down principal songwriter Brian Wilson. The answer: "Yes, but he usually has good ideas."
