POP SINGER

Pop Singer owned a pharmacy with a fountain near to the AB Studio and the kids would go there often. Following is a quote from a communication I received from Pop Singer's Granddaughter and daughter. His daughter, Ruth, has passed away, but granddaughter, Lynne, is still alive and very much remembering with love her grandfather.

"Hello, I happened to be surfing the net on my lunch break today and put my Grandfather in to see what would come up and low and behold, up came your website. I was so excited, I could hardly control myself when I saw the pictures of his drugstore from the 1950's. My mom used to take me there when I was a little girl. My Grandfather, Pop (Simon) Singer lived for his memories of those Bandstand days. He was so proud to be a part of it. All the kids used to look up to him and come to him for his advice. I guess they looked at him as a "Grandfatherly type". He was oh so special to me as I was his first grandchild and he spoiled me rotten!! I have some memento's he left for me when he passed away in 1979, one of which includes a wristwatch that Dick Clark gave him and is inscribed on the back and a lighter from Connie Francis that plays "Who's Sorry Now", along with some telegrams from Dick and Connie and some books personally inscribed to Pop from Dick. I hope you print this story on your website so that everyone who knew my Grandfather knows how proud he was to be a part of it all and lived each day remembering the good times he had with all the kids from Bandstand!! Thank you all for remembering him!!
