Listen closely

Kevin Joy (The Columbus Dispatch): That voice.

The smooth baritone of Ted Williams became an Internet sensation today 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.

When you're listening to nothing but the best of oldies, you're listening to Magic 98.9!

That voice delivered.
