The homeless man with the golden voice

[Yoda]

Some of you may have already seen this, but it's awfully sweet. The title pretty much says it all: there's a homeless man with a sign that says he'll say something for money, and his voice is so amazing that it's almost worth it:

That was posted two days ago, and it has over 5 million views, and it's already resulted in job offers. Here's a really lovely, emotional interview he gave just today, I believe, about the whole thing:

That is a really great story! I heard about it yesterday, but never got around to watching. I really hope it works out for him. His voice is amazing!!

It looks and sounds completely fake in the beginning of the first clip. So crazy.

He does have a great voice. He reminds me of the great old time radio announcers.

Yeah, that's what I thought, too. I thought it was coming from the car radio.

That's a wonderful story, but it's a shame that not every homeless person out there has a voice like that. That's like a homeless person turns celebrity story. I like it, though, because it took place in Columbus, Ohio, where I used to live.

I never ran into the guy, but I'm glad he got a haircut. He was starting to look like that vampire from Fright Night II.

Cool story, his voice really is incredible, I too thought it was fake at first.

Where's that from?

Just saw this.. I always wished I could talk like that.

Anyway, read somewhere that the guy got a job.

I love this story. I really hope this guy stays clean and prospers, he has an amazing voice. The movies that have really got me teary-eyed have always been about personal redemption, so here is a real-life tale. Glad to see a good news story for once.

I just saw it tonight on Yahoo. Wow. I did broadcasting in college, in radio, and that guy is ...beyond! When he cried on television, I admit I got teary eyed - what a nice human interest piece for the holidays! I really hope he gets himself fully on his feet, and you hope that good things can happen for people who have fallen on hard times, that they can turn their lives around. Nice his mom is still living to see it. :)

What a success story, that's amazing. I saw this on the news and couldn't believe it, I do wish him the best.
