Musical Interlude: Just When I Needed You Most (1979)

 The late Randy VanWarmer scored his only #1 hit on the Adult Contemporary chart with 1979's "Just When I Needed You Most". Not in the video: former Lovin' Spoonful frontman John Sebastian on autoharp.


VanWarmer found greater success as a songwriter, as the Oak Ridge Boys, Michael Johnson, and others recorded his songs. 17 years after "Needed" peaked in the top 10 on the Hot 100, Dolly Parton & Alison Krauss covered "Needed", with Sebastian again on autoharp.
