In 1985, when "I Miss You" was released, for some reason this song of longing by the six person R&B group previously known for "Meeting in the Ladies Room" really hit with a fourth grade kid that had no idea about love. That lack of knowledge didn't prevent that 10-year-old from calling into Hot Hits 98 WCAU FM in Philadelphia to dedicate "I Miss You" to several of his classmates... who he would see the next day in school.

As I recall, the dedication made it on the air, though I may be mis-remembering.

In any event, the song still hits and so you know: I miss you.
