"L-O-N-E-L-Y" is a song written and sung by Bobby Vinton, which he released in 1965.[1] The song spent 8 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 22,[2] while reaching No. 7 on Billboard'sPop-Standards Singles chart,[3][4] and No. 1 on Canada's "RPM Play Sheet".[5]

Cash Box described it as "a lyrical, slow-moving heartfelt tearjerker on which the chanter plaintively offers six reasons for his unhappiness."[6]
