Single - 15. Miss You (The Rolling Stones song)
3. Release and aftermath.
"Miss You" became The Stones' eighth number-one hit in the U.S. on its initial release in 1978. It reached number three in the UK. The song was originally nearly nine minutes long, but was edited to four-and-a-half minutes for the album version, and to three-and-a-half minutes for the radio single, although an eight-and-a-half minutes long "Special Disco Version" was also released on 12-inch single - featuring the track at its longest and most complete. The B-side of the single was another album track, "Far Away Eyes", a tongue-in-cheek country and western tune sung by Jagger in a pronounced drawl.
A live recording was captured during the Stones' 1989-1990 Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour and released on the 1991 live album Flashpoint. Justin Timberlake collaborated with The Stones for a live performance of "Miss You" at the Toronto Rocks festival. Jagger inserted the chorus of Timberlake's hit "Cry Me a River" during the song's breakdown.
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine rated "Miss You" number 496 in its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
