Dick Clark Interviews Sparks- American Bandstand 1984 

I don't know why people say Ron is scary. He is stunningly good looking. You couldn't sculpt a more perfect face. He looks every bit the heartthrob that Clark Gable or Rudolph Valentino was but with the added bonus of that dangerous Conrad Veidt edge. Come at me.

Fun fact: This is the most Ron has said, in public or in private, since 1972

I don't think anyone has shown greater support for Sparks than Dick Clark.

This HAS to be the most crucial episode of American Bandstand ever!

Ron is pure perfection! I just love his voice and he is so funny

Ron did a dead-on impersonation of Dick Clark.

Great improve, Ron is surprisingly funny! very cool rock n' roll moment!

Ron: Turning the tables for forty years. LOVE him.

Ron is incredibly funny & a great, droll ad lib, dulcet tone, down to earth guy.

Russell's collection of clothing needs to be in the ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME. Along with this amazing group first. It is hard to believe that that some of the acts that are in can not even rank near where these brothers have been and where they are still going. Come on TWO HANDS ONE MOUTH tour of AMERICA.

Dick Clark was a perfect gentleman and an absolute talent in Comunications History...speakers of all over the world ,learn of him

Thirty sux years later and I still remember the little patch of hair on the guitar player's otherwise bald head.

They had so much fun together and DC was so supportive of their music and their work ethic.

Never thought of Ron as attractive (not that I thought he was bad looking) but at 45 seconds in this video was taken by surprise yano 😍

I remember when I was a child I also thought Ron was "scary" (which he clearly isn't, I'd be much more scared of someone coming at me wearing the stuff Russel wore back then), even to the point I thought he plays the villain in the "When do I get to sing My Way" MV (which he clearly wasn't)... I am baffled how ones perception can change over the years.

I forgot David Hendrick was in Sparks. He was Devo's drummer for a few years after Alan Myers left.

I love their banter

Bass player Les Bohem is also a screenwriter. He wrote the miniseries "Taken", the Spielberg-produced series about alien abduction and breeding.

So funny. Thank you.

Greatest band in the history of ever😂

I distinctly remember this and how funny we thought it was

… when Ron took the mic and expressed what we wished for Sparks, that foot in the door …

AMAZING

Monster of 💕

3:14 Bob Haig (or at least his haircut) on guitar looks to be the inspiration for Opie from Family Guy.

And just.. good talk! 🤣🤣🤣

These unlikely brothers are synchronized like twins. I reckon Ron needs fattening up, lol. I just love these guys !

can we talk about how that absoloutely wasnt les bohem
