You Needed Me

You Needed Me

"You Needed Me" is a popular song written by Randy Goodrum. It was a number one single in the United States during 1978 for Canadian singer Anne Murray. The song, included on her 1978 album "Let's Keep It That Way", was also a top-five country single and won Song of the Year at the Academy of Country Music awards. The Anne Murray version was number one in Malaysia for ten weeks. Curiously, although the song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, it reached only the top five on the two Billboard charts where Murray had the most success - Country and Adult Contemporary.

"You Needed Me" was also Murray's biggest hit in the United Kingdom, where it reached #22.

In 1979, Kenny Rogers and Dottie West released a cover on their album "Classics".

Anne Murray re-recorded the song with Shania Twain for Murray's 2007 album .
