TMZ is reporting that famed TV producer, and “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” host Dick Clark has died at the age of 82 from an apparent massive heart attack.

There are few details surrounding his death at this time.

Clark suffered a stroke in 2004, forcing him to retire from hosting “New Years’ Rockin’ Eve.” Ryan Seacrest took over in 2006

Sad news.

I used to watch American Bandstand in the afternoon growing up in Philadelphia.

New Year’s Eve won’t be the same without him.

RIP Dick Clark. American Bandstand was the lynchpin of a more innocent age.

(Our Prayers to God increase for Dick Clark and his family.)

Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c’est à Toi qu’appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

When asked, President Obama’s response to Dick Clark’s passing- “My grandfather would have looked like Dick Clark.”

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

I suddenly feel like an idiot.....

[Raebie]

So sad. He is the only reason I could tolerate Seacrest the past few years.

RIP Mr. Clark.

I still can’t figure out who he was even from pictures...

[edpc]

In a previous life, Dick Clark was.....Dick Clark.

With Dick Clark’s passing, so passes part of my teenage years, and pre-teen, as a matter of fact.

Rushing home from school to watch American Bandstand was a must.

Sweet Little Sixteen by Chuck Berry

They’re really rockin Boston
In Pittsburgh, P. A.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And ‘round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the Cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

Sweet Little Sixteen
She’s just got to have
About half a million
Framed autographs
Her wallet’s filled with pictures
She gets ‘em one by one
She gets so excited
Watch her look at her run

Oh mommy mommy
Please may I go
It’s such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show
Oh daddy daddy
I beg of you
Whisper to mommy
It’s all right with you

Cause they’ll be rockin on bandstand
In Philadelphia P.A.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And ‘round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
Way Down in New Orleans
All the Cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

Sweet Little Sixteen
She’s got the grown up blues
Tight dress and lipstick
She’s sportin’ high heal shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She’ll have to chang her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again

Cause they’ll be rockin on bandstand
In Philadelphia P.A.
Deep in the heart of Texas And ‘round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis Way Down in New Orleans
All the Cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

I used to watch American Bandstand in the afternoon growing up in Philadelphia.

So did I. If you were a teen anywhere in the Philly area you watched Bandstand. RIP, Dick and thanks for all the memories.

I still can’t figure out who he was even from pictures...

Dick Clark was the host of American Bandstand and New Year's Eve celebration on TV for so many years until he had a heart attack a few years back.

RIP Dick Clark.

[P.O.E.]

Many great memories over the years - remember watching American Bandstand after the Saturday morning cartoons were over.

There’ll never be another one like him.

RIP.
