Ted Williams: The Homeless Man with the Golden Voice

Ted Williams.  Heard the name? Until a couple of weeks ago not many people had.  But now, through the wonder of YouTube  Ted has gone  from complete obscurity to overnight sensation as “The Homeless Man with the Golden Voice”.

A brief interview with the then homeless Ted Williams (who was living on the streets in Columbus Ohio was posted to YouTube and quickly went viral early this month.  The original video posting had 13 million views in three days after which it was taken down due to copyright issues.

Now Ted is everywhere.

And in this incredibly moving clip from CBS you can hear the voice that made the world take note (and watch him talk about his mum)

Already the work is coming in – here is the first advert that Ted Williams has done. For Kraft

I love this story, so inspirational and great to see a positive story in the media also. My husband showed me the u-tube clips before it was posted here, so the story does have momentum.
