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.
