A world without "Miss You"? Not a good world. Like it or not, the mixture of disco and blues that is "Miss You" is pure genius.

It was this song that saved their career at a time when it was common sense that they were done.

This is what I was trying to say.

For me this track is all about the genius of Bill. If you follow the bass line all the way through it's unbelievable. This explains why they've been pap since he left.

I remember that we liked this song mainly because of Bill's bass lines when it was released. It really was a Bill song, disco and funky bass lines were hot at the time.

yes, Bill gets MVP on this one.

"Miss You" is a song I rarely play at home, if at all. Yet, it inspired the Stones to write further disco inspired songs over the years, of which I like e.g. "Keys To Your Love" pretty much. That alone makes a world that includes the song worthwhile.
"Suck on the Jugular" and "Sex Drive" not so much, though. ;-)

I think Keys To Your Love has much to do with Beast Of Burden but absolutely nothing with Miss You or disco sounds.

True. It's soul, not disco.

Is a good world...thinking on stage these days...

I´ve had enough...twelwe minutes of boredom...

We could have Mother´s little helper, Parachute woman and Star star instead...

Peace!

One of the most overrated Stones songs in my opinion along with Emotional Rescue and Far Away Eyes.

"Miss You" has Billy Preston's fingerprints all over it. According to Wikipedia, "It was written by Mick Jagger jamming with keyboardist Billy Preston during rehearsals for the March 1977 El Mocambo club gigs.." In other words, Preston probably deserves a writing credit. It certainly sounds like a Billy Preston composition.

This song is also the beginning of the end of Preston's meaningful collaborations with the Stones. I think Keith was alarmed that the band was starting to sound Preston-like and he stopped inviting Preston to the studio.

There wouldn't be that cool vodka commercial (or whatever that was) of the 1972 STP listening to Miss You on the plane...

One of their best songs. I see it as the follow up to Brown Sugar.

It's a great tune ... although I hardly listen to it

I'd much rather prefer it if they go back to the hard-rocking 1978 version WITHOUT the bubbly pianos.

that just turned into fake news.

When would I take a piss?
