With the death of Dick Clark yesterday at the age of 82, Philadelphia and the rest of the world lost a huge music champion. Action News had excellent coverage that included interviews with Chubby Checker and Jerry "The Geator" Blavat, who had Dick Clark write the intro to his recent book.  Here are a few of the outstanding videos about Dick Clark that have surfaced.
