We will miss you, Dick Clark! It’s possible that those younger than 50 will only connect Dick Clark with New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, but they probably didn’t know that the MTV they grew up with was directly related to this music and showman’s pioneering into the world of televised rock and roll.

Dick Clark’s ability to succeed in risk taking into areas many times considered to be controversial, was thought to be through his cheerful, upbeat presentation. Fresh faced and tirelessly enthusiastic, Clark introduced black musicians such as Little Richard, The Platters and Chubby Checker into popularity during years of segregation, throughout the difficult years of integration and beyond. He introduced and promoted musicians who have been household names for generations, such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly and Madonna. Dick Clark Productions was created in 1956 and from there he went on to produce over 30 series, 250 specials and 20 TV movies.

We’re entranced with his awe-inspiring pied–à–terre that looks as though it grew out of the hilltop on which it is perched. With its free-form cave-like rooms and boulder-appearing exterior, the home sits high above Malibu with 360 degrees of spectacular and totally private views of the Pacific, the Boney Mountains, Serrano Valley and city lights. This 1 bedroom, 2 bath retreat sits on 23 maintenance free acres. Rooms are large and airy with huge expanses of glass offering amazing views from every room. We love the large kitchen with cabinets that look as though they were carved from stone, the romantic master suite and the cozy fireplace. Perfect as a couples getaway, a dramatic bachelor pad or for your own personal creative space. Offered at $3.5m.
