Like, did the Barrow-wight touch it, or did one of the Council of Elrond (like Boromir), or did Galadriel touch it? Gandalf, I don't think, ever touched it. Did Shelob touch it?

No one sings in relation to the ring. The inferred person could actually be one of those that have already been named. I just need the point in time when this "handling" occurred.
I wish I had my books handy. I'd like to check the narrative when Frodo was captured. The Barrow-wight might actually have handled it, although he is not the one I am thinking of.
If it does turn out to be inferred that the wight handled the ring, then honorable mention to Midge for guessing him.
