Steve Jobs: Innovator, Visionary, Voice Talent?

With the passing of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs this week, there have been many things written about the legacy he left for our generation: The many computer products that change our lives, the transformation of how we buy and listen to music, even the advertising industry gained from Apple’s innovative marketing.

You may recall the ‘Here’s to the Crazy Ones’ TV commercial that aired in 1997 to launch Apple’s Think Different campaign. Richard Dreyfuss provided the voice over. But did you know Steve Jobs provided the voice over for an early version that never aired? I stumbled across this on youtube the other day and thought it appropriate to share. Steve Jobs may have had a future as a voice talent, if not for all that creative-genius-visionary stuff.
