    It's Sid McGinnis... he would become a major hired gun. Had already played for Barry Manilow, Peter Gabriel and Robert Fripp. He would eventually be in Paul Shaffer's band on Late Night With David Letterman but also playing for major artists everybody from Linda Ronstadt, Paul Simon and Carly Simon to David Lee Roth, David Bowie and Dire Straits.

    This multitalented, unsung, musician shaped the lives of many prominent singers in the 70's (James Taylor, Carly Simon, Jackson Brown and countless others). He was unfortunately taken away from us way too young. Lonely Boy is a unique, progressive-for-it's-time, musically complex, and touching song released in 1976, and has been featured in many movies. Many people can relate to the heart breaking sibling rivalry, and stark, painful, individual loneliness potrayed in this song. There hasn't been another like it.

    Being an unwanted child is an extremely painful ordeal. I know firsthand from experience. Those that have not seen or experienced this tragic situation cannot possibly understand what that does to a person! Just try to imagine what it would be like to be sitting in your room & hearing the rest of your family talking and laughing in the next room & to know that if you tried to go and join in you would not be welcome. In fact you'd be mocked, tormented and terrorised until you couldn't take it anymore & left. And that was the very least of the lifelong trauma that was inflicted on you. There are countless other things being done to traumatize you with even the parents joining in. Most people don't even know that these kinds of things happen every day. It becomes all you know and flavors every single relationship you have. It can emotionally damage you to the point where you can't have a good relationship because you don't know how to engage with people that are not cruel and vicious. That's all you've ever known so you don't know how to have a normal relationship with someone. This is part of the reason so many people are in abusive relationships and stay. We just don't know any other way! It's so sad! Any kind of abuse is horrible but there's a special place for those that abuse children, especially when it's their own! It is awful to realize how horrible this really is and the fact that it's just another day for them. It's just truly one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever known! I'm glad you had no idea since that means you were not abused in that way! I'd never want anyone to feel as devastated as I am! But please, now that you know, try to be supportive of others that are trying to deal with this kind of thing. If nothing else, please, be kind! It could be the only kindness they have ever had. Thank you ❤

    What a time to be alive!!! Time and time again I find myself in the 1970’s and the music 🎼 I grew up listening to!!! My God how I long for a time that life was so much easier and a lot less stressful when you knew what it meant to have a true best friend and not a e-mail!

    This song was played recently in my local radio station. Im born in 1998 so hadn’t the chance to experience the great decades of music first hand, but being able to listen and discover so many gems is actually kind of fun and enjoyable. Definitely one of those occasions, where Im baffled why this song isn’t played more frequently in radio. :’)

    The songwriting, the musicianship, the performance, the energy is bar none. This was made in the era of great music that lasted through the 80s, sputtered in the 90s, and eventually died in the insipid booty call nonsense of the 2000s.

    I love Andrew. Not just his music. He was born on a summer day, Aug 2nd 1951. Same as me. LOL. He says the song was not autobiographical, only that date, and that he had a wonderful childhood. Now he may have had the 2nd greatest mom of all time. She was probably the most famous movie star, YOU NEVER HEARD OF. Yes, Marni Nixon, was the voice of Maria in West Side Story, Deborah Kerr in The King and I, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. She was TREMENDOUS. And to think she was in labor with my mom. hehehe. Want my autograph? lol. Seriously though, I love Andrew's music, and as was said, he was an awesome influence and helper of so many other talented people. I miss him, and thank him for being my friend in such an obscure way.

    A timeless masterpiece by a gifted singer/songwriter himself: Andrew Gold. This is the type of music that keeps me moving, and never gets me bored. I could play this over and over. This "Lonely Boy" track hit the top of the charts in the '70s. It became one of the most frequently listened to songs on the radio at the time in 1977. This very special song brings me back to great memories. What a great singer Andrew Gold was. God bless him!!

    Even though this song is mainly about the one "lonely boy", I think the final verse is the most important one of the song, where it talks about his nephew being a lonely boy as well. The theme of the song is that there are lonely men in every generation, and it just keeps going on and on, while most people ignore it. The cycle continues...
