Ted Williams ‘Man With Golden Voice’ Today Show [VIDEOS]



TODAY SHOW: Ted Williams, the homeless man with the golden voice on The Today Show

Yeah, a third story about Ted Williams, the ‘Man with the Golden Voice,’ in 24 hours – what can I say? I am in love with this guy!

Ted Williams, a man who America is dubbing the ‘Man with the Golden Voice’ made it to The Today Show despite not having I.D. (See yesterday’s story about that ordeal HERE.)

It all started when a reporter from the Columbus Dispatch decided to videotape Ted Williams, 53, from Brooklyn, as he stood at an off-ramp asking for change.

And change came his way alright!

Within 48 hours of the video being posted on YouTube more than 5 million people had watched Ted Williams, the man with the golden voice, and America immediately fell in love.

It’s not necessarily Ted Williams’ golden voice that was remarkable, it was his kindness, his gentle demeanor, his graciousness as the man recording him gave him $20 to hear his radio announcing skills.

With wild hair and crooked teeth, Ted Williams knew he didn’t have a face for television, but the man with the golden voice knew his calling was radio. So after being homeless for ten years and clean and sober for two, he had a dream to make it back to the radio industry where he worked before his addictions took over.

The Today Show interview with Ted Williams, a.k.a. ‘The Man with the Golden Voice’ is so touching. I recommend you find the time to watch it, you’ll cry at some point. I swear it.

Ted Williams has since been offered a job with the Cleveland Cavaliers, many other jobs, a mortgage, new clothes and a trip to see his mother among other things. He is so humble and so thankful for the opportunities that have come his way that his voice quivers during one radio interview this morning. “I just didn’t know that anything like this would’ve happened,” he says as his voice breaks. (And if that clip doesn’t melt your icy heart, I’m not sure what will…)

Like I said, I just LOVE Ted Williams. He is so polite, so sweet, so gracious. These Today Show videos are just awesome. If you are fascinated with Ted Williams and the Man with the Golden Voice like I am, you will LOVE this Today Show interview. Ok, I am done. I could keep going on and on….WATCH IT!!!!

    Is there a dry eye in the house after watching that? If there is, they must be dead. I’m with you, Spicy; Ted Williams is my new hero. There are a lot of cynical people out there that would say that he brought the hard times on himself, but the fact that he STUCK IT OUT for MANY YEARS, found his faith, recognized his gift, and finally made it through the tough times… You have to give credit where credit is due. I will never get tired of this story.
