EDDIE HOLMAN
Exhilarating soul ballad king, Eddie Holman, is on the scene

Ably and strikingly backed by the Eddie Holman Band, Holman has
found the perfect match of musicians to bring out the powerful
vocals qualities of his crystal-clear, yet emotive instrument.
Stylish vocals have been synonymous with Eddie Holman. His rich
and powerful vocals are as distinctive as ever, using that unique
range which remains the envy of many.
Eddie 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.
British writer, Tony Cummings has said: "Eddie Holman's
voice, an astonishing precision instrument which leap octaves with
the speed of mercury and bend notes into shapes unimagined by
lesser singers, has assured its possessor a place in
history."
Born into a musical family in Norfolk, Virginia on June 3, 1946,
Eddie began singing gospel in church beginning at age two.
Inspired and taught to sing by his mother, he learned piano and
guitar and wrote original songs. Then New York City beckoned and
he moved north at the age of 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 Holman", he appeared in Off-Broadway
shows and concerts at Carnegie Hall in-addition was a regular on
NBC-TV's "The Children's Hour" and he won amateur shows
at the Apollo Theater.
He later 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. Prior to "Hey There Lonely
Girl" Eddie's recorded repertoire included, "Am I A
Loser, From The Start", "I Love You" and "All
In The Game", Other popular recordings included "Don't
Stop Now", "Stay Mine For Heaven Sake" and
"I'll Cry 1,000 Tears".
