Dick Clark, known widely as “America’s oldest teenager,” single-handedly formed the culture of the day on American Bandstand, and helped give rise to rock 'n' roll. However, Clark’s influence transcended the music. In the lavishly illustrated Dick Clark and the History of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Life recalls how, against dissent, he integrated the dance floor and gave America a daily vision of what a non-segregated society could be. He even made television an interactive pastime by reaching out to his viewers and getting them to call in. This made Bandstand the progenitor of much of today’s TV culture—shows like American Idol and The Voice. Dick Clark was a legend who introduced us to other legends, and for that, he will always be remembered.
