The National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) maintained a staff of 175 musicians and Clark was to be the first Negro musician in the group. Although apprehensive, Clark was proud to be representing his race. Clark describes NBC as a great band, in which he was immediately propelled into the world of “first-call musicians.” The band had a lot of work in hand and was most sought after by the contractors for television commercials, radio work, and recording sessions. Clark even hired a hired a service called Radio Registry to keep up with his hectic schedule. As a part of NBC, Clark was making a truckload of money, working with a truckload of stellar musicians at the commercial dates. Clark describes his association with the NBS as a great experience.
