"Down Like A Rock" by Randy VanWarmer

The first wise thing Randy VanWarmer did for his music career was to change his name (his birth name was Van Wormer). This Colorado-born singer and songwriter scored a huge hit off his debut album when "Just When I Needed You Most" soared to #4 in 1979.

Strangely, VanWarmer could not come close to matching the success of his big hit and quickly faded into obscurity in the 80s. He let out a couple of whimpers before disappearing in 1981: "Whatever You Decide" and "Suzi" landed at #77 and #55, respectively. Sadly, he passed away from leukemia in 2004 at the age of 48.

While remembered mostly for soft rock ballads, VanWarmer's records boasted plenty of upbeat and experimental material, such as "Down Like A Rock." It comes from his 1980 sophomore effort, "Terraform."
