A classic Grammy winning song for country superstar Anne Murray in 1978. "You Needed me" was a #1 hit on Billboard's Top 100, one of the greatest cross over successes for a country artist up until that time. The tune was penned by the great Randy Goodrum, and the song was one of the most acclaimed ballads of the decade.

Canadian Anne Murray continued to be a force to be reckoned with across the country, pop and adult contemporary genres for another two decades, but "You needed me" was the best selling record of her career. 

In Australia, Anne had scored a few hits earlier in the decade, but this 1978 hit brought her to the #2 position in the last months of the year. 

A combination of a truly moving and original composition, a powerful production and performance makes "You needed me" a memorable classic from the late 1970's, and for me, started a love affair with the warm,uplifting tones of this sublime vocalist.
