"I Miss You" is a hit single recorded by Klymaxx for the MCA label. Written and co-produced by Klymaxx keyboardist Lynn Malsby, this song was recorded and released as the third single from their fourth album, Meeting in the Ladies Room. This song eventually reached number 11 on the Billboard R&B chart, number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 3 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart.[1]
Despite peaking at #5 on the Hot 100, the song had staying power on the charts, and it ended up being the third biggest song on the year-end Billboard chart for 1986. The success of this song helped the group's Meeting in the Ladies Room album reach Platinum status.
