We played this song at my dad’s funeral. He loved this song so much. My mom and my siblings - we saved him after years of addiction. We needed him and that was enough to bring him back to the light. Thank you, Anne.

The most beatiful Country song of history and one of the most beautiful of all time. Thank´s lendary Anne Murray. You is the best.

Bellissima storia della canzone 👍 Grazie mille per la condivisione 🙏 Complimenti ed un Affettuoso saluto 🙋 A presto 🇮🇹✔️🤗💙

Thank you Randy Goodrum for writing this beautiful song! We lost dad in January and he loved Anne Murray and this song! I find it very moving when I listen to it!

It's one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It touches me right down to my soul and I am man enough to admit I cry every time I hear you sing it. God bless you, Anne Murray.

One of the best songs ever. I just love Anne Murray's music 🎶 🎵

GOSH, this Canadian guy clearly remembers where he was when first hearing this phenomenal song, I instantly knew it would be a massive hit and a Grammy winner!

The honesty and emotion of the song touched the entire world just like the demo touched Anne. We love you because you sing music the way we feel it. So you get to break the rules and we come along because all your gut decisions are right for us.

The magic in the studio that day, Anne, was your voice. Nobody will ever sing this song better than you. Simply beautiful !!

That song breaks my heart. It’s my song to my mother. I’ve never should’ve left home. Because she needed me as much as I needed her and I was too stupid and self-absorbed to see it.😢

That song was brought to you by GOD! What happened in the studio that day was the presence of HIM. He gave you, me and millions of others one of the greatest hymns/testimonies ever recorded. Don’t you see, HE needs us as much as we need HIM. When I’m scared, confused, or ashamed of what I’ve become, I listen to this song, and it reminds me, that HE’s there for me, always! I just have to cry a tear, and HE comes to comfort me. He still needs me as I need HIM. I’m the one that forgets I’ll always be loved by HIM. GOD BLESS YOU for this song.

Yes, it’s about a beloved of the Lord Jesus expresses his/her appreciation to Him. No human husband could bring the holy atmosphere in the song.

It's always been an intimate religious song to me. Who else can really be there in all things and at all times for someone - saving one's soul and putting one so high on a pedestal so as to almost see eternity?

That fact that "You needed me" gave her a #1 hit in both Canada & the USA in 1978 is pretty spectacular. This song needed her

Anne Murray was the first concert that I ever went to. I was 5 years old. My mom, and grandma, said that I was mesmerized, never said a word, and never stopped looking up at her the whole evening! 😊

She is the best singer in the world! She is also a very very nice person. She has written to me via e-mail, and I have visited with her backstage several times. What you see is what you get. Once, when we were visiting in her hometown, I called her mother, and asked if I might come by for a visit. She said, sure, come on over. She was92 at the time, and I found her to be a delightful lady. I guess that's where Anne gets her kind ways!

I saw Anne Murray in concert February 2002

Great story. Excellent song.

As a child I sung this song along with Ann so many times my family always stopped every time this came on tv to watch me sing a long. Ann’s voice felt like home to me, her voice felt more like a mother to me than my real mother

It was my dad that introduced us to your song. He thought you had a voice of an angel. Beautiful...

Happy Birthday Anne! 😘❤🎶🎂🎉

I love your beautiful voice, still listening here in the Phillipines.

My all time favorite Singer

Love her music. Classy lady and beautiful voice. That song touches your heart.

My first concert was Anne in Irvine California back in the early 80’s. She was and always will be magnificent.

Anne this song "You Needed Me" has a unique loving inspiration to my family in our darkest moments. I have three children. Stacey now aged 14 and 12 year old twin sons Kristian and Nathan. The boys being the rough and tumble kind took a lot to settle down for the night. So Stacey would sing You needed me to them. Boys loved this song very much. When Stacey was 11 she was diagnosed with leukaemia. The boys aged nine thought they were going to lose their big sis. During the treatment for her cancer the boys would alternate being with her. It came close once and we almost lost her. Not a chance she is a fighter. I didn't know the boys were singing You needed me to her. It kept her strong she told us later. Not only that I found out the kids were excellent vocalists. I visited Stace with my beautiful wife everyday. One evening outside her room there was a group of staff crying. My original thought was we had lost her and staff were upset. Actually Kris and Nathe were singing to her. Wow I never heard these guys sing like this before. It was a beautiful melodic sound. Something I cherish to this day. Stacey made a full recovery and the boys joined the local choir to improve their singing. Last year my mother in law died. A beautiful caring woman just like her daughter I married. At her funeral she requested You needed me be sung. Kris and Nathe started of fine but the going was tough. Stace joined in to support them. Having lost a person they dearly loved made it hard. My wife and I joined in. We both had not sung in years. Both studied classical music. I sang Tenor she was Soprano. Along with the angelic voices of the twins and stacey my mother in law had a wonderful send off. Sadly the boys prefer science over music. Still sing, mostly ballads and country, not classical. Kris and Nathe were closer to their grand dad than grand mum. He saw service in Vietnam as a medic. He loved a song by Barry Sadler. Nurses of Vietnam. The boys sang it at his memorial service. Gramps would be proud of their performance. I was. Anne my apologies for this tail being so long. When a song like You needed me can have an impact on a family like mine. I feel proud to share you have been a positive influence on my kids Thank You

I have always loved her and always will WHAT A TALENT

One of my favorite songs!

Omg....what a great story ❤❤❤

Anne came to our Douglas County Fair (Roseburg, Oregon) in the early 70's when "Snowbird" was a hit. As a young teenage boy, I fell in love with her (although she never knew it, haha). Over the years I bought most of her albums, and considered her "the best" (when all my buddies were either listening to hard rock or hard country). Much as I adored ALL of her songs over the ensuing years (now I'm almost 66 years old!), a few years ago, I came across "Over You" on one of her greatest hits albums. Last song on the cd, almost like a "Side B" afterthought. Holy Cow! How on earth did that song slip through the cracks over the years?! I'd never heard it before. To me it's her best work. What a tender, plaintive song of "sweet agony" and unrequited love. No one I know could deliver that song like Anne Murray, who manages to convey heartbreak and anguish in her vocals as if she is actually living it. Still in love, Anne....😊

Love this song so very much. It fills my heart every time I hear it or sing it. So beautiful 😍

Beautiful. I just realized I can truly sing this song very much like you do. We (my love and myself) just love it. Brought us back to our childhoods today as we saw you perform it on Sesame Street on a vid. We were the children of the 1970s. Born in '71. How wonderful your music always was and definitely still is. Thank you.

I was listening to one of my Spotify playlists and this song went playing...this caught my attention and took some to do a research about the singer and the song was one of her hits... What a very inspirational song and singer.

The magic was your voice, Lady Anne, nothing more. Blessings, Georgianna Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

You Needed Me: Anne Murray the Canadian Songbird Many times I thought this could be a song about a relationship with Jesus Christ. This is my favorite Anne Murray song.

Exactly!

BRILLIANT INTUITION!

I remember how much my mom loved Anne and this song. RIP mom.

One of her best songs ever, along with Moon Over Brooklyn and A Million More!

she looks fabulous still!

I knew of Anne Murray and her music years ago when I was in grade school because this song, "You Needed Me," was the hit song in the Philippines... A week ago, I heard the song again on the radio and it brought back a lot of memories and so I started listening to more of her music through the internet... I have been playing her songs over and over and been watching her interviews, the more I get to know her, the more I admire her...

The voice of an angel!

Always Anne Murray!

My favorite song that you did was You Needed Me. Still love your music and my other favorite singer is Barbara Mandrell

I'm a guy, and nothing is too sappy for me! I love all styles, including rock, disco, boy bands, girl bands, rap, etc... I just love hit music. This song is amazing, and a well deserved #1 hit in the USA. :)

I have loved you and your voice for years. May the rest of your life be just lovely 💕

Yes, What an interesting video. I use to play guitar and my dream was to become a folk singer and imagined myself singing with Anne Murray! I identified with Anne in so many ways.....It is great to see these videos to hear her music and remember those "good old days".

I just love the way that Anne sings! 💗

I love this.

This song is wonderful with a lovely message.

Im just such a fan of you 🌠🦋💕💜💙🧚‍♀️🙏🌹💞🍀🎵🎶🧚‍♂️💃💃💃💃

Anne I love your music forever ❤🎶🎵❤🎵🎶❤

You needed me Is one of my number one favorite song from Anne Murray

Love that song💕

Oh my goodness, my Hero! I love this!

I was listening this all the time when in Taiwan , feel grow in this song

I glad she brought up the title of the song, I wondered why it was called "You Needed Me" Instead of "I Needed You"?

My Wedding Song.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 I LOVE YOU 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😎✌

wonderful, you and the song!

유니드 미 노래를 만들어줘서 감사합니다

Amo suas músicas 🌹

She's great and I'm so glad she stuck to her guns and got the song released... it's great and a classic. I'd like to pitch my songs and have someone re-record some of my material. You never know what's going to crawl out of the woodwork ;-)

classy woman with a gorgeous voice.

Eu assisti uns vídeos dela de 1978, que linda! Parecia um anjo cantando.Me inscrevi no canal. hehe

Those people made a good point. If someone is taking you from a dumpster to a dream love nest in paradise lifting you so high you can see the stars to eternity.... isn't it you that needed him/her? Obviously it's sort of mutual but still this is kind of like making a song about a race horse called You Saddled Me

Wow she aged so well and so healthy :-)

Stick to your guns. Shows why she is an icon. Not just talent but instincts.

Anne still has a beautiful voice second next to her is Barbra Streisand

Add Gladys Knight to that list

"You needed me" sounds good but the meaning doesnt connect to the story of the song.. "I needed you"will put so much sense into it.
