As I mentioned yesterday, some of the Merry-Go-Round's b-sides rival the a-sides. Emmit Rhodes delivers a typically heartbreaking lead vocal on this track written by producer Larry Marks, a man who sang the original lead vocal on the "Scooby Doo, Where Are You," theme. "Missing You" was inexplicably left off the debut album and slapped onto the back of "Listen, Listen." Yes, I love that MGR album. I've written about it a number of times and included it on my "Other 100" list. Yet, two b-sides, "She Laughed Loud" and "Missing You" might be my two favorite MGR songs.
