American Bandstand : Dick Clark And The Making Of A Rock ‘n’ Roll Empire

  • American Bandstand : Dick Clark And The Making Of A Rock 'n' Roll Empire

  • Attribution

    John A. Jackson

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1997

  • Description

    Here is the first book to tell the full story of what happened in front of–and behind–the cameras on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, providing both a history of this landmark show and of the changing styles of rock ‘n’ roll over four decades. Jackson describes Bandstands humble beginnings in Philadelphias blue collar south side, the sex scandal that scuttled the first host of Bandstand and enabled Clark to launch his career, the glory days when an appearance on Bandstand was one of the most prized gigs in the music business and when teenagers lined up for blocks hoping to enter the studio, and memorable Bandstand appearances by rock ‘n’ roll royalty from Chubby Checker and Frankie Avalon, to Jerry Lee Lewis and Jefferson Airplane, to Pink Floyd and Madonna.
