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.
