Missing You (Diana Ross song)

"Missing You" is a song performed by American singer Diana Ross, recorded for her 1984 album Swept Away.

The song was written, composed, and produced by Lionel Richie as a tribute to Marvin Gaye, who was murdered by his father earlier that year.

The memorial song was released as the album's fourth single on November 13, 1984, by RCA.

It was her last song to reach number one on the R&B singles chart, and was so popular and enduring that it ranked as the 3rd biggest hit of 1985 on that chart, fueling her nomination as Female R&B Vocalist of the Year at the American Music Awards (alongside Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin).
