Eddie Holman
Click Photo to Hear "Hey There Lonely Girl"!!

Eddie’s “Hey There Lonely Girl” is one of the top selling and best-remembered romantic ballads of all time.

Exhilarating soul ballad king Eddie Holman, is on the scene with a great, live show featuring his spectacular million selling gold record, “Hey there Lonely Girl”, showcasing the full worth of his vocal range. No one need be lonely anymore. Stylish vocals have become synonymous with Eddie Holman. Holman’s rich and powerful vocals, as distinctive as ever, using that unique range which remains the envy of many. 

Holman has one of the finest tenor voices ever to emerge from Philadelphia, and his rich soaring falsetto, the signature of the Holman persona always strikes new highs. 

Eddie Holman is a very special soul stylist, a singer about whom British writer, Tony Cummings has said: “Eddie Holman’s voice, an astonishing precision instrument which can leap octaves with the speed of mercury and bend notes into shapes unimagined by lesser singers, has assured its possessor a place in soul history.” 

Holman has typical soul singer roots; singing gospel in church beginning at age two. Born of musical family in Norfolk, Virginia, he was inspired and taught to sing by his mother, learned piano and guitar and wrote some original songs. Then New York beckoned and he moved north at age five. Says Eddie, “that’s where I gained my first exposure to show business.” 

Eddie attended Victoria School of Music and Art in New York City. As “Little Eddie Homan”, he appeared in Off-Broadway shows, concerts at Carnegie Hall and was a regular on NBC-TV’s “The Children’s Hour” and, he won amateur shows at the Apollo Theatre. 

He moved to The City of Music, Philadelphia. This turning point was the beginning of a new career. Eddie wrote, produced and recorded in Philadelphia while attending Overbrook High School. Success as a recording artist came with his first national release while still a freshman at Cheyney State University. 

He’s had a string of national and international hits, starting with “This Can’t Be True, Girl”, which, as a point of fact, was his first charted song. “This can’t Be True, Girl”, was significant not only because it was Eddie’s first hit but, it was unarguably the archetype on which much of Philly’s ‘sweet soul’ sound was based, as well as being one of the most beautiful records of the era, says writer Tony Cummings.”  Prior to “Hey There, Lonely Girl”, Eddie’s recorded repertoire included, “Am I A Loser, From The Start”, “I Love You” and “It’s All In The Game”. Other popular recordings included “Don’t Stop Now”, “Cathy Called” and “Since I don’t Have You”, plus releases that are now sought after by American, European and Japanese
