SHORT TAKES : Dick Clark Reveals His Secret
Dick Clark has kept the company of millions during his 43 years in broadcast. But he always plays to an audience of one.
“I visualize in my mind, I learned this from my idols of years ago, that there’s only one person listening or watching and you direct yourself to that person,” Clark said in an interview.
“It’s a secret that Arthur Godfrey knew very well, Garry Moore knew very well--the pioneers learned that lesson years ago.”
On Wednesday, Clark was counted among the pioneers. He accepted membership in the Emerson Radio Hall of Fame along with Charles Osgood, Paul Harvey, Harry Caray, Bob Hope and Frank Stanton.
