"I Miss You" is a hit single recorded by American R&B and pop band Klymaxx for their fourth album, Meeting in the Ladies Room (1984). Written and co-produced by Klymaxx keyboardist Lynn Malsby, the song was released as the album's third single. "I Miss You" eventually reached number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, number 2 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, and number 1 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart. Despite peaking at number 5 in the US, it was ranked at number 3 on the year-end Billboard chart for 1986, mainly because of its run on the pop chart lasting for 29 weeks.[1] In Canada, it was on the charts for 22 weeks.[2]
In Smash Hits, Janice Long wrote, "I'd miss this like a hole in the head. One of those lush songs with a vocalist trying desperately to sound like a 10-year-old Michael Jackson."[3]
