He would end each local broadcast with a God bless you one and all.He was also the Voice of Ford on the radio and it was always believed by his peers, that it was Henry Ford himself who picked Godwin for his raspy drawl.

Roosevelt always referred to him as the Earl of Godwin.He served as the Chairman of the Executive Committee of Correspondents, United States House of Representatives, from 1944 to 1945.Earl Godwin has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[edit] ReferencesInto the Blue, Time Magazine, Monday, Jul. 20, 1942On the Air: the Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio, John Dunning, Oxford University Press US, 1998 This article about a United States journalist is a stub.
