Dick Clark. 42.Com'on man, do I have to answer everything?

So did I, but I only give it a 72, Dick, cuz the beat was too slow. Of course he did. The bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp, the ram in the rama lama ding dong and the dip in the dip da dip da dip, would not have entered into the collective consciousness of two generations without him. The bomp, ram and dip would have just sat there all lost and lonely until Dick took them to the autograph table.

American Bandstand was a TV program that ran in the 50's through the 80's. It was a Rock & Roll program hosted by Clark with lots of kids dancing to Top 40 tunes and some live performances. It was a cultural icon for four generations of teens.Dick Clark was the host for (almost) the entire run. Thing is Dick never aged. He never lost his boyish face, never grew old, and was immortal until 2012 when he up and died at age 26.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.
