Dick Clark - Music Icon

Dick Clark lived a life filled with accomplishments. He will be remembered for many things, including his 30 year run with American Bandstand. He was an absolute giant in the music industry. His influence can never be measured.

He died on April 18, 2012 from a heart attack at 82 after a medical procedure. His stroke in 2004 had a huge impact on his life. He was able to make it back to hosting his New Year's Eve gala in Times Square after missing the show in 2005.

He will forever be associated with New Year's Eve. It was his idea to have the ball drop at the stroke of midnight. He started hosting the celebration in 1972 and never looked back.

New Year's Eve will never be the same without him
