In 1969, R&B singer, Eddie Holman recorded and released his own version of the song. It charted in the United States in 1970 and in the United Kingdom in 1974.[3] Holman's recording of "Hey There Lonely Girl" is most recognizable by its disconsolate, sentimental and heavyhearted lyrics, with his falsetto voice.

Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl

Let me make your broken heart like new

Oh, my lonely girl, lonely girl

Don't you know this lonely boy loves you
