Dick Clark, This Is Your Life

[@josephadiaz8343]

An awesome guy, who always looked way younger than he was. He was hip,he was respectful of everybody he met and knew you. He made my life easier to live in a small town with his show. Thank you Mr Clark and God bless you Sir.

[@kahalak8171]

He seemed to be a truly good human who treated everyone with respect and care - RIP. Every New Years I have to look at least one (sometimes more) of his past New Year's shows, and American Bandstand show.

[@eddancer1381]

I was born in Philly Pa and I couldn't wait to get out of school to watch Dick Clark on TV was the , American Bandstand, I met Fabian and other singers outside of Pats Steaks And I'm sure we all remember when Dick Clark brought in the new years when he was in NYC Ed

[@John1948ThreeC]

Ed, I consider Dick Clark to be one of three non-performers most responsible for the success of Rock N Roll. Dick Clark, Alan Freed and Sam Philips!

[@eddancer1381]

John your right but I didn't think of that

[@amb6899]

Great memories you will forever cherish.

[@kenbody4370]

I’ll be 64 in August. Spent my Saturdays Watching American Bandstand.

[@SpeegBJ]

Dick Clark's dad just gave me a huge, huge insight into this man of music. I always say...."I'm Just Here for the Music"...I had so much heartbreak as a kid, lost family. I related to what Dick's father says here. The music saved my spirit and life. Love this.

[@cherieallen9508]

Love Dick Clark..Miss him. A true gentleman..who helped so many get their start.♥️💯👍😘💕💕💕

[@eddancer1381]

RIP Dick Clark and thanks for my great memories Ed

[@Celluloidwatcher]

A legend who left us ten years ago. Wonderful host, great human being, an icon of his time. May Dick Clark rest in peace, love, and humanity. He is greatly missed, especially on New Year's Eve, replacing Guy Lombardo as the official welcomer of the New Year. Thank you for this circa 1959 This is Your Life video clip.

[@lucyanndigilio5377]

He said in an interview that his dad was not a hugger or kisser and he felt sad but he vowed that when he had sons he would shower them with hugs and kisses and he did that on this show

[@kdbwiz]

Dick Clark on this is your life retrospctive. Age 29. Lol. Lives another 53 years. The respect he received from highly successful giants of the industry is simply a tribute to his maturity and greatness.

[@Melissa-SC73]

Wow look at how young looks here! My mom got the honor of having lunch with him and his last wife. He had the American Bandstand restaurant in Indiana. I think but not sure that it was on Keystone Ave. Anyway she went there and got to talking to his wife with my mom not realizing who she was. Then she was invited to sit with & have lunch with Dick Clark & his wife. My mom was so happy to have that honor. I bet he was a wonderful dad to his kids.

[@AtlantaGymFan]

Dick Clark was gentle and rock 'n roll pioneer - R.I.P.

[@larryheyes5743]

Dick Clark was a one in a life time being.

[@VeteransOutpost]

Happy New Years Mr. Clark. You are here in spirit.

[@bearsinboxes]

today too

[@barbaracassello4818]

A great man!!!

[@SpeegBJ]

I found this in between so many other things.... no wonder only 146 views! John 1948, this is wonderful. Dick is already on This Is Your Life, and it must be only about '59. Gee. This is a great insight into what it was all about... I love hearing the early fame cuties, Avalon, Connie Francis, the rest.....talk candidly. Seeing his parents.,...which I couldn't imagine he had... is just darling. I lloved this show, couldn't stay up late to watch it much. Thank you so much, John1948....

[@mshockey73]

He was very humble and extremely good looking!

[@ncfeline1959]

Connie, Frankie and Fabian are so humble

[@AtlantaGymFan]

ncfeline1959 I so agree - Connie Francis sang my life and Fabian is still a good looking guy!

Originally telecast on June 24, 1959.

[@chrisk8187]

I didn't know Mr. Clark had passed away. Obviously I grew up watching him on TV. Always a very gracious man.

[@retroguyretail1976]

he died 10 years ago

[@kahalak8171]

Happy New Year Dick Clark - you brought us all great entertainment and wonderful memories. Thank you. Also thank you for posting this video

[@gleasonparker1684]

Dick and ab got me thru some tough times.

[@thomassvec3771]

And new years Eve too !🎉

[@eddancer1381]

Thanks for the upload John 1943 Ed

[@SpeegBJ]

Bittersweet to see Andy Williams here, both Clark and Williams die within months of one another.

[@tiffsaver]

I don't think there is one man who has so influenced American life as Dick Clark. He's as an important an icon as George Washington or the Statue of Liberty. RIP.

[@dwightpowell6673]

Din Cornelius of Soul Train fame was a major influence on black Teenagers.

[@PaulWeagleyJr]

AWESOME!!!

[@larrydalesowell1016]

He’s always had a booming voice.

[@bethbartlett5692]

Oh, I know Frankie - and Bobby Rydell. Both regular Italian guys - great families and good people.

[@1401princeton]

Never forget clark

[@LogoMan7777]

Geez. Dick Clark honored by This is Your Life at the age of 29. I'm 32, and I haven't done anything noteworthy.

[@lucialipstick8668]

Love this

[@pamhoward5102]

Dick Clark was always name was known as the oldest american teenager.

[@theresachiorazzi4571]

Was it the glasses that made dicks wife look older than him ?he never seemed to look old. I liked bandstand.

[@rustyshepperd]

how can anyone hit dislike?

[@tiffsaver]

Because there are thousands of MORONS who watch You Tube, everyday...

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

Rusty Shepperd Because he was also known for ripping off black artists like Chuck Berry who made several appearances on bandstand for years as written from his biography

[@rickrick5041]

DJWOLF’s Forall2hear How would having them on his show rip them off?

[@josephhaynes3017]

What a man and legend !

[@pamhoward5102]

After Dick Clark had his stroke. His New Years rock and roll new years eve show

[@darrellmarklinger6746]

Can you SEE 'COLD'? Take a look at Barbara, Clark's first wife. Cold as ice, to me, anyways. This show was in '59...and they divorced in '61. Gee, wonder if that was just ONE of the problems...??

[@spectrumlocalb191]

Darrell Marklinger She looks like one nasty bitch

[@1953childstar]

@@spectrumlocalb191 Oddly, she does seem to have "a chip on her shoulder"… Perhaps she was uncomfortable wearing glasses, but in 1959 many were wearing contact lenses. I know Connie Francis wore them, because we went to the same eye Dr. ( Robert Morrison )..

[@PAULLONDEN]

*@Darrell Marklinger* "COLD"...? because she didn't sit there phoney smiling pretending everything is hunky dory ? She sure could've used a make over, but that was your generally accepted look in the post rock'n roll 50's when Uncle Sam got hold of the King and almost succeeded in stamping out that corrupting rock'n roll , and the charts belonged to wholesome Pat and a collection of Bobbies.

[@Farrah300]

i like Fabian. This may sound silly, but my favorite song by him is 'Hound Dog Man'.

[@seywhut2985]

Can kinda see the tension already between Dick and Bobbie. Wasn't long before they divorced after this.

[@gregfrank4115]

They divorced about two years after this show.

[@PAULLONDEN]

( "Wagstaff" ) 😮 Dick (used to be in control) understandably seemed to have doubts about this.... His hairline then already slightly thinning became thicker with the years. Which ofcourse is a must in rock'n roll .

[@gleasonparker1684]

Dick was a quick wit before Steve Allen.

Wow, Dick even looks younger than his wife on here. Now days the wife always looks younger. How did that happen? LOL

Hugs his Mom and then places his right hand in his pocket so he doesn't have to hug his Dad.

[@janetschroering5283]

Wonder why Dick Clark didn’t help some of the kids from Bandstand who tried to break into show business? Kenny Rossi comes to mind. His voice was much better than Fabian’s!

I wonder if DC still lived would he host The Masked Singer

[@johnnyballenatl]

Probably not even after his stroke (Dick would’ve been 90 and retired by then), but he did live long enough to witness the early rise of the Millennials and social media.

[@GK-ev5rd]

Clarks wife, shown on this show, his 1st wife, cheated on him and they were divorced in 1961

[@caroltenge5147]

who told you that.? Read Dicks autobiography.......

[@lucyanndigilio5377]

@@caroltenge5147 read it again. It is in there

[@caroltenge5147]

@@lucyanndigilio5377 His first marriage was to Barbara Mallery in 1952; the couple had one son, Richard A. Clark, and divorced in 1961. He married Loretta Martin in 1962; the couple had two children, Duane and Cindy, and divorced in 1971. His third marriage, to Kari Wigton, whom he married in 1977, lasted until his death. Maybe he was at fault, nobody cares now anyway.

[@Robert-p7t2k]

Fabian looked the part but wasn't a very good singer. "Like tiger" and "turn me loose"
