LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Longtime "American Bandstand" host and pop music producer Dick Clark has been hospitalized in the Los Angeles area after suffering a stroke, a spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

"He did have a minor stroke and he's in the hospital for that reason but he'll be fine," spokeswoman Amy Streibel told Reuters.

The 75-year-old Clark, who helped make rock music palatable to mainstream America with his clean cut nationally televised "Bandstand" has been one of the country's best-known television hosts since the show's debut in the 1950s.

"American Bandstand" helped promote the careers of Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Chubby Checker.

Stroke is much more common than people generally know...

Proper diet and moderate exercise can virtually alleviate stroke, heart attack, and most other medical conditions...

So can a few glasses of red wine each day..
(Medically proven)

Also a daily does of asipirin in your older years helps
a lot agaisnt strokes.


Dick Clark is fine. I was just reading an interview with him, it was
a very minor stroke. Reckons he will be out and about in no time..
