In the clip she explains: “This is my Uber driver and he just told me something very special, that he’s the voice behind …”

A smiling Edwards then responds: “Welcome, you’ve got mail.”

His thrilled passenger replies: “No waaaay, do it again, do it again.”

Her clip has racked up more than 20,000 shares and likes on Twitter, with Barker posting after Donald Trump’s win: “On the bright side, my Elwood Edwards video is still trending.”

Now a GoFundMe page has been set up for Edwards, explaining: “The man. The legend. The voice that made receiving emails cool.

“I started this campaign as I want to pay my respects to Elwood by letting others contribute. I believe as an Uber driver, it can be hard to make a living even if it’s just for fun. I think Elwood deserves it. Let's all help out this awesome man.”
