Andrew Gold – Lonely Boy (1976)

“Lonely Boy” is a song written and recorded by Andrew Gold in 1976 for his album What’s Wrong with This Picture? The song features backing vocals provided by Linda Ronstadt (for whom Gold had previously worked as a producer and backing musician). When released as a single in 1977, the song became a top-twenty hit in both the United States (#7) and the United Kingdom (#11). While it would prove his biggest U.S. hit, Gold’s single, “Never Let Her Slip Away”, would achieve greater success in the UK.
