Since this video was posted and went viral, this guy has been inundated with work offers and is set to make a fortune.

The guy that made this and posted it and then supplied the voiceover guy with a phone to receive offers was definitely onto something and good on him for showing some trust and helping another person like that.

The smooth baritone of Ted Williams became an Internet sensation yesterday when a Dispatch.com video compelled millions of viewers to take a closer look (and listen) at a homeless panhandler who sometimes works the Hudson Street ramp off northbound I-71.

Carrying a hand-scrawled cardboard sign touting his "God-given gift of voice," an otherwise ragged Williams was recorded last month offering up his radiant pipes to an idle commuter for spare change.

Yes, for once we have a happy ending to a homeless story. It may only be 4:30am in Australia, but that made my day.
