Thrust into the public spotlight after his side of the road YouTube video surfaced in January of 2011, Williams was soon dubbed the "Man with the Golden Voice," as America became captivated by both his well-polished delivery, and his rock-bottom story.

Sharing a name with the legendary ballplayer, this Ted Williams suffered a series of strike-outs, much of which can be attributed to a curveball that is drug addiction:

"In 1988, as a congratulatory offer, some friends of mine congratulated me for having my first son," Williams reveals to Piers Morgan. "As being a father of a newborn boy, you know, I - that was kind of a happy moment. But it was laced with crack-cocaine. And they refer to them as premos, you know, reefer, marijuana and crack equals premo. And I kind of liked it, you know?"

After having once risen to great heights as a successful radio personality, the 54-year-old father of nine quickly sunk to the darkened depths of life on the street:

"It was terrible. I - I would go into shelters or - or various food lines, food - soup kitchens, so to speak," he explains. "And people would remember me from those great days in - in radio. And they'd be like what happened, man, you know? And I would always say smoke damage."

Watch the clip, and listen to the interview, then tune in this evening at 9 p.m. as the author of “A Golden Voice: How Faith, Hard Work, and Humility Brought Me From The Streets To Salvation," further details his downward spiral, and dramatic comeback.

"Few have ever seen it until now," explained Morgan. "This is Michael's private world of paintings and portraits. We've been given rare and extraordinary access inside that hanger. Its location, as I say, has to remain a secret."

Guiding viewers through Jackson's supplies and materials, the host shows a quieter side to the "King of Pop."

"This is how the icon found happiness away from the stage and studio, with brushes, pencils and, in particular, watercolor," noted the "Piers Morgan Tonight" host. "He wanted to be known as an artist, not just the most famous entertainer in modern history."

Estimated to be worth upwards of nine figures, Jackson sketched everything from Peter Pan to the Statue of Liberty, obsessing, at times, over the number seven.

And he also found truth in the words of famed sculptor Michelangelo, clinging to a message that reads: "I know the creator will go, but his work survives. That is why to escape death, I attempt to bind my soul to my work."

In the words of Morgan, "Only in America": "Michael Jackson did not escape death, but his soul does live on in the music and art he created and above all, the lives he touched and forever changed."

During the interview, Jackson discussed the controversy surrounding Michael's alleged childhood abuse by his father Joseph Jackson. "I didn't think he was too tough," said Jackson and further noted that the parenting methods during her son's childhood were different from how they are today.

"If you did something wrong, it was terribly wrong, you got a scolding for it and you also got a licking as they called it. But today you can't do that. So Michael looked back at those times and they said he was abused."

Jackson also talked about her concerns regarding Michael's "This Is It" tour, the set of fifty concert performances that he was preparing for at the time of his death. Jackson expressed that she felt the performance schedule was "too much for him."

"Michael hadn't been on stage for about 10 years. You know? And I called him. And I told him because the way they had it structured, they said every other night that he would be working," said Jackson. "And I just kept calling him telling him they had to change that schedule because that was - I didn't like the way it was going."
