The boy's singing was so annoying to his kidnapper, he pulled over and threw him out of the car.

WXIA-TV spoke to gospel artist Hezekiah Walker, who sings the song "Every Praise." Walker met Willie at his local church following the boy's return.

"I really believe that God spoke through me to save that young man's life," Walker said.

Willie's abductor (below) remains at large. A $10,00 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest.
