Let's get into one of The Rolling Stones' greatest songs: "Miss You." The Stones were in Toronto, rehearsing for their classic gigs at the El Mocambo Club, when Jagger, jamming with R&B legend Billy Preston, came up with "Miss You." With a disco groove and a touch of the blues via a harmonica player they found in a Paris subway, it became the band's first Number One hit in five years. "It's not really about a girl," Jagger said. "The feeling of longing is what the song is." Writers: Mick Jagger (pictured below), Keith Richards. Producers: The Glimmer Twins. Released: May '78, Rolling Stones. The song Spent 20 weeks at No. 1 which is quite the achievement.

I've been waiting in the hall Been waiting on your call When the phone rings It's just some friends of mine that say, "Hey, what's the matter man? We're gonna come around at twelve With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you We're gonna bring a case of wine Hey, let's go mess and fool around You know, like we used to" You've been strung up for her too long, You know - girls will come and go - They're just like streetcars... I've been staying here too long, Sometimes I feel so Abandoned...

I've been walking Central Park Singing after dark People think I'm crazy I've been stumbling on my feet Shuffling through the street People ask me, "What's the matter with you boy?" Sometimes I want to say to myself Sometimes I say Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh Ooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh I won't miss you child I guess I'm lying to myself It's just you and no one else Lord I won't miss you child You've been blotting out my mind Fooling on my time No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah Lord, I miss you child Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Lord, I miss you child Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Lord, I miss you child Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Live performance of "Miss You" in 1977 RELATED: Rolling Stones Singer Mick Jagger Has An Update Post-Heart Surgery
