After his stroke in 2004, he was never the same, but here is a great picture of a man that many of us grew up with for American Bandstand, $ 25,000 Pyramid, America's top 40, and New Year's Eve celebrations

A final tribute - taken from USA Today
Bell-bottoms came and went and came back again. But Dick Clark? He never left. With his toothpaste-ad smile and a microphone always ready, Clark was a fixture in our pop culture for decades.
Maybe you hear his name and think New Year's Eve stalwart, or American Bandstand host, or "the oldest living teenager," a nickname he picked up years ago, but Clark was much more than any of those single images.
Clark, who suffered a stroke in 2004 and died Wednesday of a heart attack, was a irrepressible entrepreneur who built an empire for himself in the entertainment industry. He was 82.
A wide spectrum of artists whose careers he had nurtured rushed to pay tribute. Tony Bennett tweeted that Clark was "a great guy and one of the first people to play my records." Paul Stanley wrote that Clark "was the face of rock and roll and its best ambassador. He championed Kiss when others turned away and was instrumental in breaking us."
