Under section "Game show host," 3rd word of following sentence is incorrect.
Entertainment Weekly created Clark's "quietly commanding presence" as a major factor in the game show's success.
Context suggests this should instead be:
Entertainment Weekly credited Clark's "quietly commanding presence" as a major factor in the game show's success.
Pushing Dick Clark's profit from older musicians
[edit]Left out of this article is that Dick Clark at the ending of American Bandstand --was hawking older, previously popular singers from another generation to younger Bandstanders. This is presumed to be a monetary goal for Dick Clark and the musical acts. If the older "has-beens" could get a new hit, big payout for Clark
Wrong Pam Miller
[edit]Link to Pam Miller is to former mayor of Lexington, KY. Probably not the right person! 71.178.11.232 (talk) 01:37, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
More Payola and other financial misdeeds
[edit]Clark's involvement in the payola scheme helped ruin another person's career: Alan Freed. From multiple sources Freed was thrown under the bus and took all the heat. From Paul Simon's own words, Dick Clark would have Paul's performance check signed over to him when Paul was around 16 years old.
I want to do more research on these issues and hopefully produce a quality well-referenced section.
