Earlier this week, a video of a homeless man in Columbus, Ohio, named Ted Williams hit the Internet. Upon first glance, he looks like your average dude holding up a sign at the side of the road -- but anyone who takes a minute to talk to him will realize that he has an out-of-control amazing voice.After seeing the video, Redditors in the Columbus area got to work trying to find ways to help Ted get back on his feet using his amazing talents.
The result: less than 8 hours after the call to action was posted on Reddit, Ted has been scheduled to appear on Columbus' 'The Morning Zoo' radio show. What's even better, other Redditors have offered their services to help jumpstart his career, including money donations (over $1,000 so far), a cell phone, a business suit and a website.

If one judged the"book"only by its cover,that would be "aristocratic supremacy" at work [at best] Thank God this is America...we read the book before we judge.

when he was all cleaned up on the morning show I thought he resembled obama if he had his teeth fixed. Not a bad looking guy. Best wishes to him.

I hope someone will give this man another chance...he needs to clean up and cut his hair...but he has an amazing voice....his only thing was he got caught up in what a lot of America is doing right now....booze and drugs....and people want to legalize drugs....what happened to that man would no doubt happen to the same caught up Americans

Mes,... I was thinking when I first saw him was his long hair made him look unique, almost surreal with hair like a lions’ mane or the hair of Charston Heston after he saw God, He should keep it! But some network MORON gave him a “Make-over”. The “hair” was part of a great iconic look! Mes, do work for a network? ...Moron.
AMAZING!!

This man was obviously on his way up the ladder of success, when he fell prey to the temptation of alcohol and drugs. Let us pray for his continued success on sobriety as he once again begins his climb up the ladder of success. God bless and keep him!
