Dick Clark's *American Bandstand*…and later, Don Cornelius' *Soul Train*…were to me what The Ed Sullivan show had been to my parents and grandparents (especially my grandmother). By the mid 80s I was a young adult experiencing *grown folks fun* for the first time..lol..which, for me, meant I no longer watched nearly as much television. But I'll always remember Dick Clark. Thru his show I was introduced to R&B at about age 3. The group was Smokey Robinson & The Miracles…and I've been hooked on *it* (all forms of Black music) ever since. The man truly was a poineer and visionary.May he Rest in Peace.
