Paul Shefrin said the "American Bandstand" creator had a heart attack
Wednesday morning at Saint John's hospital in Santa Monica, a day after he
was admitted for an outpatient procedure.</span><br></div>
<div><span></span><br><span>Long dubbed "the world's oldest teenager"
because of his boyish appearance, Clark bridged the rebellious new music
scene and traditional show business, and was equally comfortable whether
chatting about music with Sam Cooke or bantering with Ed McMahon about TV
bloopers. He thrived as the founder of Dick Clark Productions, supplying
movies, game and music shows, beauty contests and more to TV. Among his
credits: "The $25,000 Pyramid," "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes" and the
American Music Awards.</span><br><span></span><br><span>For a time in the
1980s, he had shows on all three networks and was listed among the Forbes
400 of wealthiest Americans. Clark also was part of radio as partner in the
United Stations Radio Networks, which provided programs - including Clark's
- to thousands of stations.</span><br><span></span><br><span>"There's hardly
any segment of the population that doesn't see what I do," Clark told The
Associated Press in a 1985 interview.</span><br><span></span><br><span>"It
can be embarrassing. People come up to me and say, 'I love your show,' and I
have no idea which one they're talking
about."</span><br><span></span><br><span>The original "American Bandstand"
was one of network TV's longest-running series as part of ABC's daytime
lineup from 1957 to 1987. It later aired for a year in syndication and
briefly on the USA Network. Over the years, it introduced stars ranging from
Buddy Holly to Madonna. The show's status as an American cultural
institution was solidified when Clark donated Bandstand's original podium
and backdrop to the Smithsonian
Institution.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Clark joined "Bandstand" in
1956 after Bob Horn, who'd been the host since its 1952 debut, was fired.
Under Clark's guidance, it went from a local Philadelphia show to a national
phenomenon.</span><br><span></span><br><span>"I played records, the kids
danced, and America watched," was how Clark once described the series'
simplicity. In his 1958 hit "Sweet Little Sixteen," Chuck Berry sang that
"they'll be rocking on Bandstand, Philadelphia,
P-A."</span><br><span></span><br><span>As a host, he had the smooth delivery
of a seasoned radio announcer. As a producer, he had an ear for a hit
record. He also knew how to make wary adults welcome this odd new breed of
music in their homes.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Clark endured
accusations that he was in with the squares, with critic Lester Bangs
defining Bandstand as "a leggily acceptable euphemism of the teenage
experience." In a 1985 interview, Clark acknowledged the complaints. "But I
knew at the time that if we didn't make the presentation to the older
generation palatable, it could kill
it."</span><br><span></span><br><span>"So along with Little Richard and
Chuck Berry and the Platters and the Crows and the Jayhawks ... the boys
wore coats and ties and the girls combed their hair and they all looked like
sweet little kids into a high school dance," he
said.</span><br><span></span><br><span>But Clark defended pop artists and
artistic freedom, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame said in an online biography
of the 1993 inductee. He helped give black artists their due by playing
original R&B recordings instead of cover versions by white performers,
and he condemned censorship.</span><br><span></span><br><span>His stroke in
December 2004 forced him to miss his annual appearance on "Dick Clark's New
Year's Rockin' Eve." He returned the following year and, although his speech
at times was difficult to understand, many, including other stroke
victims, praised his bravery.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Still
speaking with difficulty, he continued taking part in his New Year's shows,
though in a diminished role. Ryan Seacrest became the main
host.</span><br><span></span><br><span>"I'm just thankful I'm still able to
enjoy this once-a-year treat," he told The Associated Press by e-mail in
December 2008 as another New Year's Eve
approached.</span><br><span></span><br><span>He was honored at the Emmy
Awards in 2006, telling the crowd: "I have accomplished my childhood dream,
to be in show business. Everybody should be so lucky to have their dreams
come true. I've been truly blessed."</span><br><span></span><br><span>He was
born Richard Wagstaff Clark in Mount Vernon, N.Y., in 1929. His father,
Richard Augustus Clark, was a sales manager who worked in
radio.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Clark idolized his athletic older
brother, Bradley, who was killed in World War II. In his 1976 autobiography,
"Rock, Roll & Remember," Clark recalled how radio helped ease his
loneliness and turned him into a fan of Steve Allen, Arthur Godfrey and
other popular hosts.</span><br><span></span><br><span>From Godfrey, he said,
he learned that "a radio announcer does not talk to `those of you out there
in radio land'; a radio announcer talks to me as an
individual."</span><br><span></span><br><span>Clark began his career in the
mailroom of a Utica, N.Y., radio station in 1945. By age 26, he was a
broadcasting veteran, with nine years' experience on radio and TV stations
in Syracuse and Utica, N.Y., and Philadelphia. He held a bachelor's degree
from Syracuse University. While in Philadelphia, Clark befriended Ed
McMahon, who later credited Clark for introducing him to his future "Tonight
Show" boss, Johnny Carson.</span><br><span></span><br><span>In the 1960s,
"American Bandstand" moved from black-and-white to color, from weekday
broadcasts to once-a-week Saturday shows and from Philadelphia to Los
Angeles. Although its influence started to ebb, it still featured some of
the biggest stars of each decade, whether Janis Joplin, the Jackson 5,
Talking Heads or Prince.</span><br><span></span><br><span>But Clark never
did book two of rock's iconic groups, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
Elvis Presley also never performed, although Clark managed an on-air
telephone interview while Presley was in the
Army.</span><br><span></span><br><span>When Michael Jackson died in June
2009, Clark recalled working with him since he was a child, adding, "of all
the thousands of entertainers I have worked with, Michael was THE most
outstanding. Many have tried and will try to copy him, but his talent will
never be matched."</span><br><span></span><br><span>Clark kept more than
records spinning with his Dick Clark Productions. Its credits included the
Academy of Country Music and Golden Globe awards; TV movies including the
Emmy-winning "The Woman Who Willed a Miracle" (1984), the "$25,000 Pyramid"
game show and the 1985 film "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins." Clark
himself made a cameo on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and a dramatic
appearance as a witness on the original "Perry Mason." He was an involuntary
part of Michael Moore's Academy Award-winning "Bowling for Columbine," in
which Clark is seen brushing off Moore as the filmmaker confronts him about
working conditions at a restaurant owned by
Clark.</span><br><span></span><br><span>In 1974, at ABC's request, Clark
created the American Music Awards after the network lost the broadcast
rights to the Grammy Awards.</span><br><span></span><br><span>He was also an
author, with "Dick Clark's American Bandstand" and such self-help books as
"Dick Clark's Program for Success in Your Business and Personal Life" and
"Looking Great, Staying Young." His unchanging looks inspired a joke in
"Peggy Sue Gets Married," the 1986 comedy starring Kathleen Turner as an
unhappy wife and mother transported back to 1960. Watching Clark on a
black-and-white TV set, she shakes her head in amazement, "Look at that man,
he never ages."</span><br><span></span><br><span>Clark's clean-cut image
survived a music industry scandal. In 1960, during a congressional
investigation of "payola" or bribery in the record and radio industry, Clark
was called on to testify.</span><br><span></span><br><span>He was cleared of
any suspicions but was required by ABC to divest himself of record-company
interests to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. The demand cost
him $8 million, Clark once estimated. His holdings included partial
ownership of Swan Records, which later released the first U.S. version of
the Beatles' smash "She Loves You."</span><br><span></span><br><span>In
2004, Clark announced plans for a revamped version of "American Bandstand."
The show, produced with "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller, was to feature
a host other than Clark.</span><br><span></span><br><span>He was diagnosed
with type 2 diabetes in 1994 and served as spokesman for the American
Association of Diabetes Educators.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Clark,
twice divorced, had a son, Richard Augustus II, with first wife Barbara
Mallery and two children, Duane and Cindy, with second wife Loretta Martin.
He married Kari Wigton in 1977.</span></div>
