Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). 7" Single. Original "Capitol" cover looks great; very light scuffing (front/back); a few discoloration spots on back. Little shelf-wear along edges and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use. (Not a cut-out.)
You Needed Me was a No. 1 single in the USA for Canadian singer Anne Murray. The song revitalized her career after several years of declining popularity. 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, and is her most successful single in the UK, where it made the top 30. The song earned Murray the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 21st Grammy Awards, the first to be awarded to a Canadian artist. The single was certified Platinum in Canada and Gold in the US. The song was featured in an ongoing storyline on the CBS soap Guiding Light in 1980–81, as a theme song for the characters Kelly Nelson and Morgan Richards. In 2013, the song was performed by Seth MacFarlane in character as Stewie Griffin on the Family Guy episode Chris Cross, in which Anne Murray herself guest-starred. In 1999, Irish pop band Boyzone recorded a hit cover of the song that reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart.
