Hey there lonely girl — Holman Eddie

#This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the# #song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research.# Originally recorded by Ruby and the Romantics as 'Hey There Lonely Boy'; A much bigger hit in this regendered version by Eddie Holman. Not sure Where this was recorded, but the stuttering bass line and minimalist String arrangement point toward Philadelphia.
