Who was the original host of American Bandstand?

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".

Who are the singers in the 1950's The Diamonds?

The Diamonds were from Toronto, Canada (most American teens of that era had no idea), and in rock and roll's formative years, they had a number of American top-40 hits. Another thing most American teens didn't know was their hits were often "cover versions"-- white versions of songs originally sung by black artists. The reason for cover versions, sad to say, was many top-40 stations wouldn't play a song if it sounded "too black," so a number of white singers recorded those songs in a style that was supposedly more mass-appeal. In 1955, the Diamonds got their big break on an American TV show called "Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts" (kind of a 1950s version of today's "American Idol") and that got them a US recording contract. Among their biggest hits were "Little Darlin'" and "The Stroll" (both from 1957). They performed on a number of TV shows, including Dick Clark's original "American Bandstand." As far as I know, their original lead singer, Dave Somerville, is the band's only surviving member; he still lives in Ontario, Canada.
