I danced on American Bandstand from 1975 to 1989, and was chosen for The American Bandstand National Dance Contest in 1977. Dick Clark deserves alot more than just tributes... for all that he has contributed to the Music and Television Industries....and for all of his patience putting up with all of us dancers for so long!

I cried, love Dick Clark and the way he has fought back
from his stroke is an inspiration to all of us. Love Agnes Nixon, I truly believe in giving Flowers While WE
Yet Live.

Dick Clark led the way but he led in the way of real music not electronic gizmos playing the music and he had real talent not wanna be talent on the air as you see on American Idol furthermore the music was music you could relate to and dance to not this junk of today which no one even understands.

Wish to make a correction to Karen's comments. Dick Clark's American Bandstand came on 5 days a week - Mon. through Fri. from 4:00 pm til 5:00 pm in the Midwest. I remember hurrying to get home from work to see the show if even only for the last 15 minutes. Just listen to the so-called music of today versus the music of the Dick Clark era; there's no comparison. Back then it was music and one could understand what was being sung and you could even dance to it. God bless Dick Clark. He led the way.

Dick Clark made my Saturday's come alive when I was a kid. He was there for the new dance moves, new songs, new artists. That's where I learned to dance, learned the love of music. Without American Bandstand, where would I have learned many lessons, not just about dancing, but about life. I SALUTE you Dick Clark for you are the music.

Besides the obvious I think Dick Clark is also very lucky to share life with that dear woman who has been his friend and all other things in his life - his wife. Keep on Spinnin'...
