Remembering Dick Clark

World's Oldest Teen Ager

Richard Wagstaff Clark, died today on April 18th, 2012. The memories and joy given by Dick Clark, however will live on as America's oldest teenager for many many years to come.

Though he would go on to be a TV producer, game show host and more he will be most beloved as a disk jockey and the face of American Bandstand.

I find it personally ironic that both Clark and Soul Train producer Don Cornelious would transition this phase of life the same year and within months of each other.

Both leave behind a blue print that I have personally used and still tweak to fit my own use today.

To say that there will never be another Dick Clark is like saying other stars cannot give earth the same light as the sun.
