Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on June 03, 1946)

Happy birthday, Eddie Holman! When your voice soared into history with "Hey There Lonely Girl," you single-handedly taught millions of lonely hearts the perfect soundtrack for romantic yearning—completely ruining any chance we'd be satisfied with ordinary singing afterward. Decades later, that song still holds up beautifully... and probably caused thousands of karaoke disasters worldwide!

Here's wishing a fantastic celebration to the man whose timeless melody made sure no girl ever felt truly alone again (unless someone dared sing it off-key). Keep charming us all year round, because thanks to you we've discovered something priceless: loneliness sounds better when you're singing about it.
