16 january 1971 receiving the u.s. jaycees award as "one of the ten most outstanding young men of the nation" for 1970.

i would like to thank the jaycees for electing me as one of the outstanding young men.

when i was a child ladies and gentlemen, i was a dreamer and,

i read comic books and i was the hero of the comic book,

i saw movies and i was the hero in the movie,

so every dream that i ever dreamed has come true a hundred times,

[...]

i would like to say that, i learned very early in life, that:

without a song, the day would never end,

without a song, a man ain't got a friend,

without a song, the road would never bend,

without a song, so i keep singing a song.
