Dick Clark had gone to Saint John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California for an outpatient procedure on Tuesday and he died on Wednesday morning of an apparent heart attack.
Dick Clark Productions created American Bandstand which was the hottest dance show on television for decades. He created the Golden Globe Awards- the Emmys, TV Bloopers & Practical Jokes, the American Music Awards and Rockin’ New Year’s Eve.
American Bandstand was the first television dance show to feature black dancers.
