American Bandstand started as a local Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA show known only as Bandstand. As the Philadelphia area (only) show, it was hosted by Bob Horn from 1952 until mid 1956, when Mr. Horn was discharged. Tony Mammarella, the show's producer, temporarily filled in as host until they signed Dick Clark. Through the personal efforts of Dick Clark, the Network was persuaded to air the show nationally.
The show was renamed from "Bandstand" to "American Bandstand" in 1957, coincident with it becoming a nationally broadcast program. Dick Clark was the host at that time (1957) and remained the host until early 1989. The last six months of the show's long run was hosted by David Hirsch. The lights went off for good in late 1989 with David Hirsch at the helm.
Dave Clark Five... Drummer and founder gay? ...who cares really but i thought it was a bit strange that he a Freddie Mercury we very close.
Bandstand - 1952 27-23 was released on:

It's widely accepted that Charley Pride was the first, though it can not be known for sure.
The first to travel as a country artist and play the Grand ole Opry was harmonica player, Deford Bailey ...long before charlie pride.
They played at the school talent show in Gary Indiana
The host for the famous "American Bandstand" TV dance show was the one and only-Dick Clark. I just heard that when the TV show premiered in 1955, it wasn't on the ABC-TV network, but on a local TV station in Philadelphia, PA. It became so popular and so successful that within only two years later in 1957, ABC-TV came to Dick Clark with a contract to have him do the show for more money in either Hollywood or Burbank, California. It was an excellent offer that no one could refuse, so Dick took it and became extremely famous and successful with it~"Benito".
Black students from Philadelphia high schools and junior high schools danced on Bandstand starting in 1952 when Bob Horn was the host and continued as the show became American Bandstand with Dick Clark. Their teachers asked for volunteers and those who were selected went together as a group.
It will if a nice man like myself will be allowed to do it and make the time for it~"Benito".
There were so many and too many to name them all. However, one of the last pop artists to perform on American Bandstand must have been Madonna, Fine Young Cannibals and Taylor Dayne when the tv show was cancelled in the mid, or late 1980's.
My husband Bob Hnselman danced on American Bandstand 1958-59 and he danced with Justine
Huey Lewis was a very famous and very good pop singer back in the early and mid-1980's. He must have sang this "buzz buzz" song in the mid-1980's-like 1984-or 1985.
None. No such thing happened, so the answer is in three parts. 1. Hairspray (the movie) is not a documentary. It is not even a Docu-Drama. It is a fictional performance that only vaguely resembles some things from the 1950's. 2. American Bandstand was not limited to "only white" dancers. 3. Any racist similarities between Hairspray (the movie) and the real events of the 1950's in the U.S. are lifted from events regarding the Buddy Deane Show. The Buddy Deane show was another 'dance-to-the-hits' show broadcast from Baltimore. That is the show that did not mingle Black and white dancers on the same dance floor. That is the show that had 'all-black' Fridays (taking into account that the show was a Daily show). When the Buddy Deane Show was pressured to integrate white and black dancers (like American Bandstand had already been doing), the show's powers-that-be refused and the show was subsequently cancelled.
