Interesting.

ABC is doing a Top 30 countdown of Dick Clark's greatest discoveries.

30. Rock around the Clock (very first rock and roll song to go Number 1.)
The year they used was 1959. I'm guessing the year is going by whatever clip they use. That clip is from a black and white episode of "American Bandstand," I believe.

29. Toni Basil's "Mickey." Year is 1982.
28. INXS' "Need You Tonight." 1987.
27. John Travolta's "Let Her In." 1976.
26. James Brown's "Bring It On." 1983
25. Culture Club. "Move Away." 1986.
24. Jefferson Airplane. "Somebody to Love." 1967.
23. Bangles. "Manic Monday." 1986
22. Johnny Cash. "Ballade of a Teenage Queen." 1959.
21. Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." 1984.

Diana Ross.1978.
Beach Boys' Brian Wilsom. 1980.
Berry Gordy. 1992.

There was a clip of Dick Clark wearing the same dress that Jenny McCarthy wore.

There was a clip of a '59 screen test of him. Clip of him from '68 in "Killers Three."
Clips of him from the following:
1960's "Because they're young."

'87 clip of Bruce Willis and Dick Clark together while Dick is Hosting a show.
'78 clip of Host Dick Clark and the muted Mickey Mouse.
'73 clip of "Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour."
'78 clip of Milton Berle pieing Dick.
