Wednesday, January 5, 2011
Ted Williams is a homeless man with a truly God-given golden voice. The video of him done by the Columbus Dispatch, who discovered him along Ohio's I-71, gone viral and has now more than 5 million in views and counting. His story has been in headlines in almost all major news stations.
According to the note he scrawled on a piece of cardboard that he used to solicit change from drivers, Mr. Williams is an ex-radio announcer. When interviewed by the Dispatch, he talked about his struggles. Thankfully, his date with "alcohol and drugs and a few other things" haven't diminished his velvety vocal cords.
This video literally speaks for itself. It has exploded into a life-changing experience for him. Yesterday morning he was a panhandler; today he's the most in-demand voice personality in the world, thanks to offers from countless radio stations, voiceover gigs and even the Cleveland Cavaliers.
