Dick Clark was born in New York State to Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Clark.
The beginnings of Dick's show business career was in the mid-1940s while he worked at his uncle's radio station. Eventually he got out from the mailroom and began working as a weatherman on air.
Starting in the 1950's and through the next six decades, Dick worked on various radio and television shows.
He hasn't been looking to good lately. I worry for his health. Does anyone know his current condition?

TV.com chats with America’s go-to TV host about Jennifer Lopez, American Idol, and dropping the ball.
Dick Clark is such a well-known icon for culture and music. He has hosted shows like "American Bandstand" and "The $25,000 Pyramid". I even heard him on the radio when he did "Rock, Roll and Remember" and the "US Music Survey".
One other thing that Dick Clark is most famous for is hosting the New Year's Eve celebrations from Times Square. It's a shame he had a small stroke, but that didn't stop him from hosting. He still has his self-esteem and all. Believe it or not, he has just turned 80 years old! And who knows if he'll make it to his 40th year hosting New Year's from Times Square.
All in all, he's the greatest world's oldest teenager that ever lived. Dick Clark rocks!
Glad he is STILL around to ring in the New Year with all of us....
I watched him for years on American Bandstand...and for years enjoyed seeing his telecasts from Times Square on New Year's Eve....amidst ALL those people! lol
Even with his stroke, he still has the same spirit he has always had. He truly is an institution..
Ho doubt Dick Clark is one of the more recognized voices on tv since forever. "American Bandstand" or "Bandstand" as it was originally called showcased many talents like Madonna, Run DmC and wannabee singers like John Travolta who went to become more recognized as an actor than a singer.
However, the person leaves A LOT to be desired, probably one of the more egomaniacs I've seen especially after his unprofessionalism toward Michael Moore in the movie "Michael and Me", where Clark and other gameshow legend Bob Eubanks really make themselves to be no more than self-serving celebrities.
However, his mark can't be denied but the person as mentioned leaves a lot to be desired.
Dick Clark is an original IMO and that it is
So sad that he won't be the same Dick
Due to that mini stroke that he suffered and that he
Is an inspiration to all of the stroke victims to know
That it ain't the end of the world and that he
Really, really, is an inspiration IMO!
