Bob Horn poster cover LP
It was Bob Horn who Flanagan credits with establishing much of the basic format of the later incarnation of “American Bandstand,” the name the show used when on network. Local segments (which preceded the network show were still called “Bandstand”).
For a few months, Bob took over hosting an afternoon TV music show called “Parade of Stars” which ran filmed songs, the first so-called music videos. WFIL-TV wanted to capitalize on Horn’s very popular radio program called, Bandstand. They thought of just changing the name of “Parade of Stars” to “Bandstand,” but that idea was nixed.
