It all began with
a local Philadelphia television "bandstand" dance show
in July of 1956. One year later in August 1957, "American
Bandstand" premiered on the ABC Television Network coast to
coast.
Not only was it an
instant hit, but its host, Dick Clark, became a hero to young
America and to a new style of rock 'n roll singers and bands.
Dick Clark has remained
an American icon for the 44 years since 1957. Though he is a successful
as a television host and producer and music entrepreneur, Dick
Clark is still identified with the music of early rock 'n roll.
The music, artist
and personal memories of those days come alive every week for
four hours of Rock' n Roll & Remember heard Sundays
1:00-5:00pm on WOSO.
