Hey There Lonely Girl was a #31 hit for Robert John in September 1980. A version by Eddie Holman reached #2 in February 1970. The original, Hey There Lonely Boy by Ruby & The Romantics. an R&B quintet led by Ruby Nash, reached #27 on the Hot 100 in September 1963. This was written by Leon Carr and Ed Shuman, who also wrote Brook Benton's 1963 #3 hit Hotel Happiness and all the songs in the off-Broadway musical The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty.

 
Mumbo Jumbo, Air Supply's most recent studio album, yielded two adult contemporary hits in 2010. Dance With Me reached #28 and Faith In Love reached #30. Frankie Moreno co-wrote Dance With Me with Air Supply guitarist Graham Russell and plays piano on the track.



Here is Frankie at age 11 doing his very best Jerry Lee Lewis impression on Star Search:

 
Tint, a little-known British band, recorded Emotional Rescue (and Street Fighting Man) for the the 1998 double CD As Years Go By: A Tribute To The Rolling Stones. I can't find it online, Mister Aaron, but here is a version by Freedom Dub from the 2006 CD Bossa 'N' Stones 2: The 2nd Electro-Bossa Songbook Of The Rolling Stones. See if you like this one more betterer than the original:



 
Here is another version of Emotional Rescue. This is by Yo La Tengo, an indie rock band from Hoboken, New Jersey, and appears on Murder In The Second Degree, a 2016 album of cover songs recorded live at the studio of WFMU in East Orange.
