History of American Bandstand: It's Got a Great Beat and You Can Dance to It Paperback – Nov. 1 1987
Still on the air after 28 years, Clark's American Bandstand, TV's first rock music show, has presented 10,000 performances. This in-depth chronicle of those shows is divided into decadesfrom the '50s to the '80swith each decade/chapter subdivided into sections on "The Music," "The Kids" (with special emphasis on the '50s teens who were dance regulars), "The Dancing," "The Fashions," "The Fans" and "Top 100 Chart Songs" (year-by-year from 1957 to 1984). Fans of the show will not be disappointed with this detailed compendium, packed with interviews, nostalgic photos of people and memorabilia (from a Dick Clark doll to a Fabian sweater tag). Even non-viewers will find the book a remarkable documentation of changing trends in American popular culture. November
