Golden-Voiced Homeless Man Captivates Internet

what an AWESOME story ...THNX!! for contributing to my group 'The Human Potential' ....Please Join and share more like this ....PEACE☼ MotherForTruth

Having been homeless, I know first hand what it means to be thankful. No if I can break into the radio market like that, I'd be happy too instead of being stymied by the rule of the land called Hollywood!

I saw this run tonight in the news program w/ Katie Couric. The cut who shot the video said he'd done so many weeks ago and only pulled it out now because it was a slow news night.

Some luck!

Love to hear all great comments and wishes for Ted Williams. We all like to hear good news just imagine how wonderful the world would be if each and everyone of us would send a great wish to one other person everyday.

He's got what it takes! Ted- when you get the recognition you deserve, be wary of those charming, warm characters who have those seductive vices you broke away from. You've travelled that road. Better things to come!!

okay i congratulate the guy and, I hope he deals with his "demons" so he can keep his job.

ESPN has picked up the story as well...

CLEVELAND -- With a deep, refined voice, one that had been sadly misplaced, Ted Williams simply asked for help to get him off the streets.

He's been heard.

Left homeless after his life and career were ruined by drugs and alcohol, Williams has been offered a job by the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers and is being pursued by NFL Films for possible work after he and his compelling tale became an online curiosity.

As evidenced by Williams' new haircut, what a difference a day makes. A mere 24 hours after the video went viral, Williams says he's already been offered a bunch of employment opportunities, including one that's a Ohio citizen's dream job. "The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house," Williams revealed. The Cavs will reportedly have to compete against MTV, the NFL and likely countless more suitors for Williams' services.

While Williams' sudden and lucky twist of fate could bring any man to tears, he gets most choked up when discussing how an invitation to do the gamut of TV shows in New York has opened the door for him to visit his 92-year-old mother in Brooklyn for the first time in years. "One of my biggest prayers that I sent out was that she would live long enough to see me rebound," Williams said. "There's so many words. I've already been compared to Susan Boyle... I'm just so happy."

more great news...

http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2011/01/05/cavaliers-offer-homeless-radio-man-job-... Dude has officially been offered a job by the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers. His job description has yet to be defined. Congratulations Ted. Best of Wishes on a second chance in life.

UPDATE-FINAL: Well everyone. You can give yourselves and Ted a high-five. He's being given offers hand-over-fist over the air. He'll be set for life.

My request to all. Whenever you run across a story such as this, don't assume it'll take a life of its own, on its own. It won't. It can't. There are too many other stories that drown out the one before it.

You need to spend time to get that story and its word out to many. If you care, you'll do it.

Keep the faith, pay forward and always lend a hand; even if you're the one who needs it.

God bless Mr. Williams. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of him for sometime to come.

There are many many talented individuals out there who share similar talents hopefully he can reach back and help others from similar backgrounds

It is true that you should never judge a book by its cover. Yesterday my husband cleaned out his closet, and instead of throwing the jackets away, I stopped by on my way to work (Army Reserves) and left a few bags of jackets for some gentlemen that were sleeping there. I know that what I did may not be the best thing to ever happen to them, but I hope that it showed them that someone cares. I almost ended up exactly where they are now, just a few years ago. So I understand all too well the pain that they are going through. I hope this gentleman, ted, is given a second chance. Everyone makes mistakes. We, as humans, are plastic. We can be melted down to very little and then molded into something stronger, and more resilient. Way to go Ted! I wish you all the best.

Chocolate for the ears!!

I would not be one bit surprised to learn that he also has a great singing voice and can sing a mean blues...

Hope this guy lands a job with this video going viral, 130,000 views in 1 day.

From the YouTube post:

UPDATE: To all those who have been writing me (as one of Ted's only means of contact), I have learned that the radio station interviewing him tomorrow (1-5-11) a.m. is going to make him a formal offer. Whether true or not, we'll see.

He really does have an amazing voice.
