Elwood Edwards, voice of 'You've got mail!', recorded the iconic phrase in 1989 for AOL, shaping early internet culture despite only being paid $200.
"He was a longtime off-camera presence at the Cleveland TV station, working as a graphic designer, camera operator and jack-of-all-trades employee," reflecting his versatility.
His wife, Karen Edwards, volunteered his voice for the famous phrase, contributing largely to how the world identified with AOL in its prime.
"So, that's the story behind the catchphrase," Edwards remarked, noting the unexpected fame from those simple recordings made on a cassette deck.
