Golden Voice

Ted Williams, dubbed “The Man with the Golden Voice”, appeared on the Today Show recently to tell the story of how he jumped from homeless to famous overnight. Williams was formerly a radio announcer until he got into drugs and alcohol. He was homeless on the street corner until a reporter ran into him one day. His voice was so good that the report spread across the internet overnight. Williams now has many job offers. In his Today Show interview, he said that after discovering God in the past year, he had been praying that his mother would live to see him get back on his feet. He says he is now giving much thanks to God.
