“Miss Me Blind” by Culture Club

"Miss Me Blind" comes off Culture Club's 1983 album Colour by Numbers, and in North America it was the third single pulled from the record, reaching number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1984. That made it the band's sixth top-ten hit in a row there, and their last. It was their biggest R&B hit too.

Boy George sings it, Jermaine Stewart adds backing vocals, and Roy Hay piles on guitar, piano, keyboards and an electric sitar that gives the groove its sparkle, while Mikey Craig and Jon Moss hold down bass and drums. All four wrote it, Steve Levine produced, and Levine and Moss mixed it. Cash Box praised George's knack for matching words to the beat. The extended 12-inch, with bits of "It's a Miracle" stitched in, packed the clubs, and Steve Barron shot the video in a Japanese setting.
