Andrew Gold, a pop wunderkind who had barely finished high school when Linda Ronstadt enlisted him to play in her backup band, and who later had a successful recording career of his own with hits like “Lonely Boy” and “Thank You for Being a Friend,” died on Friday at his home in Encino, Calif. He was 59.
His family said that he had renal cancer and had been responding well to treatment but that the cause of death might have been a heart attack.
“It was clear from the beginning that I was going to be a musician,” Mr. Gold told The Los Angeles Times in 1977.
His sister Martha Carr, a psychotherapist, said that episode partly explained her brother’s success as a songwriter. “When Andy felt deeply,” she said, “he would just make it a song.”
