Elwood Edwards, beloved for his voice as AOL's "You've Got Mail," died on the eve of his birthday at age 74, highlighting his iconic contribution to early internet culture.
Described as a "jack-of-all-trades," Edwards worked for WKYC for many years in various capacities, demonstrating his versatility and long-standing commitment to local media.
In 1989, Edwards recorded just four lines for AOL, including the iconic phrase, "You've Got Mail." He received only a modest sum of $200 for his work.
The significance of Edwards’ voice transcended his initial recording, becoming a nostalgic reminder of the early days of internet communication for many users.
