Eddie Holman "Hey There Lonely Girl"

[KnightD12]

After singing with such legendary Philadelphia groups as The Delfonics and The Stylistics,

Holman finally struck personal gold in 1970 with his timeless love song, "Hey There Lonely

Girl" (originally "Hey There Lonely Boy" recorded in 1963 by Ruby and the Romantics), which

peaked at #2 on the Billboard pop singles chart. The song inspired Smokey Robinson to dub

Holman, "The Man With The Voice Of An Angel."

Eddie Holman and his wife Sheila have three children. He is an ordained Baptist minister who

uses his musical talents both as a tool of entertainment and as a medium to proclaim the

message of Jesus Christ. He believes that his talent is a gift from God and therefore must be

used to glorify his Maker.

Today, Holman owns his own record label (Agape Records). He also continues to tour with the

Eddie Holman Band. He still resides in Philadelphia, and spends time as a local community

volunteer helping reach out to those less fortunate. He also works within the Philadelphia

School System encouraging young people to become involved in the performing arts. During the

summer of 2007, Holman performed weekly for the passengers abroad the Sun Princess cruise

ship while it was en route to the inside passage of Alaska.

I agree Bert. You have to wonder why he didn`t have a longer career. He still sounds good enough to make a comeback.
