Les Brown speaking in the Georgian dome - 4

I couldn’t wait to get behind those controls.

I put on old Stevie Wonder record called Fingertips.

 

I sat down behind that turntable.

I said,

"Look out, this is me, LB, Triple P

— Les Brown, Your Platter Playing Poppa"

 

There were none before me

and there will be none after me.

Therefore, that makes me the one and only.

 

Young and single and love to mingle.

Certified, bona fide, indubitably qualified to bring you satisfaction,

a whole lot of action.

Look out, baby, I’m your lo-o-ove man.”

 

I was hungry.

I was hungry.

You gotta be hungry.

You gotta be hungry.

 

So ladies and gentlemen,

if you want to make your dream become reality,

the people that are running at that dream know

that it’s possible that you can live your dream.

 

That it’s necessary that you are relentless,

that you have a plan of action,

that you are creative.

 

The people that are living that dream are fighting winners,

to attach themselves to.

 

The people that are living their dreams,

are the people that know that,

if it’s going to happen,

it’s up to them and they are resolving

within themselves it’s not over until I win.

 

The people that are running after that dream know

they’re going to have hard times,

they keep on running because they’re saying within themselves:

I’m the one,

I’m the one.

No matter how bad it is

or how bad it gets I am going to make it.

 

The people that are running after their dreams

are the people that are hungry.

Shake somebody’s hand on your right and left and say:

 

you’ve got to be hungry.
