Dick Clark: Forever Young

4/18/2012
No matter how old or young you are, your pop culture has probably included Dick Clark in a prominent role.

His iconic rock 'n' roll TV show, American Bandstand, ran for decades – and when it was done, Dick Clark wasn't. He stayed in the game with TV specials like Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, radio shows like "Rock, Roll & Remember," a chain of rock 'n' roll-themed restaurants, and much more.

But it's American Bandstand we love best… and it's where we can best see how little Dick Clark changed over the years. Some laughed at his ever-youthful appearance, dubbing him "the world's oldest teenager," but over the course of four decades, he just kept on looking great – and loving pop music and culture. Here he is on Bandstand: one clip for each decade from the '50s through the '80s.

Clark died this morning, but he still remains timeless for us. Thanks, Dick Clark, for bringing us great music for all those years.
