Much of my earliest exposure to Rock 'n Roll was watching American Bandstand as a kid. May the four winds blow you safely home.

Watching White & Black Entertainer gettin' Down. Now remember, Funk was a Bad Word, & so was Black Music. But then, "Dick Clark" showed up in the late 50's. Start mixes Rock with Soul & like the Fountain of Youth he Never grew Old. A true Legend of his time! bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 1844 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 - 9:48 pm:    Really liked DC. Watched American Bandstand 'till Soul Train came along . . . . then watched both ! I'm sure Dick Clark and Don Cornelius can now have a nice long visit together.
