Mr. New Year's Eve
Before Dick Clark, Guy Lombardo presided over New Year's Eve for nearly 50 years. Until 1976, Lombardo's Royal Canadian Orchestra was the soundtrack of the night. Mr. New Year's Eve first broadcast to the nation's party-goers in 1929 over radio. His big band sound faced competition from a new kind of popular music in 1973, brought to viewers by Dick Clark, whose show American Bandstand was already a hit with the younger generation. Clark's New Year's Eve show lasted for the next 30 years.
Auld Lang Syne played at Guy Lombardo's very first New Year's Eve and became his band's signature, spreading the song from Scotland around the world.
