CHICAGO (WLS) -- The ABC show "American Bandstand" brought music to the masses for over 30 years. Now, on the 60th anniversary of when the show went to a national audience, a new book is revealing behind-the-scenes looks at the show, host Dick Clark, and the groups who made "American Bandstand" a hit for decades. "Bandstand Diaries: The Philadelphia Years 1956-1963" is a compilation of photos, stories, and memories from the early years of the show.

The 174-page book includes updates on the "Regulars" as well as 700 photos, many never before published.
