NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Randy VanWarmer, who recorded the pop hit Just
When I Needed You Most and then had a successful career as a
songwriter, died Monday of leukemia, friends said. He was 48.
Just When I Needed You Most reached No. 4 on Billboard's pop chart in
1979. VanWarmer wrote it when he was 18. More recently, VanWarmer
wrote I'm in a Hurry (And Don't Know Why), a No. 1 hit by the country
group Alabama in 1992; I Will Whisper Your Name, a hit by Michael
Johnson in 1988; and I Guess It Never Hurts to Hurt Sometimes by the
Oak Ridge Boys in 1984.
He was born March 30, 1955, in Indian Hills, Colo., and spent much of
his childhood in England after his father died.
