About
“When I’m With You” was written by Sherrif’s keyboardist Arnold Lanni after meeting & falling in love with Valeri Brown. The song first charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983, peaking at #61. Due to the low performance of the song, Sheriff later disbanded in 1985. In 1988, Brian Phillips (a program director at KDWB in Minneapolis) began playing the song and other national radio stations followed suit as well and because of it, Capitol Records re-released the song as a single. The re-release of “When I’m With You” topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary for a week in February of 1989.
