[78-L] Dick Clark gone

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

I watched Bandstand in the 50's (I'm an oldtimer), and the majority of the artists lip-sinched to the record, Jerry Lee of course was at the Piano and all over it for that matter, so how would you Lip-sync his routine ?

Was the lip-synched thing a part of Bandstand later on?? Just there are live performances by Jerry Lee Lewis from the 50s on Youtube...but maybe more polished pop artists were 'miming' in the 50s too?

I knew some people who worked for him when he had his syndication business. They said that he was extremely cheap. A real bottom line guy who paid employees as little as he could get away with and whose facade of niceness on the air hid a cold-hearted interior. I also hated that he never permitted acts on AB to play live. Everything had to be lip-synched to save money on production costs, licensing, performance royalties - he knew the business but I'll bet he still had the first dollar he ever earned.
