About this Quote

Annette Funicello's quote is a suggestion that the popularization of rock 'n roll in the 1950s and 1960s was not exclusively due to the efforts of Dick Clark.

Other influential figures such as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard were likewise critical in bringing rock 'n roll to the mainstream. Funicello's quote is a suggestion that the success of rock 'n roll was due to the collective efforts of many individuals, not simply one individual. Clark was an important figure in the industry, but he was not the only one responsible for making rock 'n roll safe for America.
