Elwood Edwards, the voice behind the iconic "You've got mail" greeting for AOL, passed away at 74 due to complications from a stroke last year.
Edwards recorded the famous line in 1989 at home, leading to a catchphrase that not only defined the internet era but was also featured in a 1998 film.
Despite the fame his voice brought him, Elwood remained humble, stating he had 'a face for radio' and would blush whenever recognized for his iconic catchphrase.
His recordings brought him surprisingly little financial reward, earning just $200, yet they resonated with millions, making him a memorable figure in pop culture.
