Kurt's interest in Rock and Roll inclined him to propose a television program utilizing Dick Clark's extensive collection of Kinescopes of American Bandstand. Kurt teamed up with a fellow named Ron Koslow to pitch the idea. "...much of the evidence tracing the rise of Rock and Roll is already lost--if only because no one considered it very important at the time, or thought to preserve it for historians of the future. Thus," they proposed, "the Kinescope segments preserved from the ABC-TV show, "Dick Clark's American Bandstand," or the Saturday Night "Dick Clark Beechnut Show" Provide fascinating and important documentation, of unique interest today."
