Cotter met Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards in NYC, and joined The Big Apple Band with them as a singer — a group that went on to become Chic.

Missing You features two tracks recorded with The Big Apple Band, and spans funk, acoustic soul, and ‘disco blues’.

The album was originally released on Tiger Lily during 1976, with Wewantsound’s release marking Missing You’s first reissue.

It follows the label’s reissue of jazz group George Otsuka Quintet’s live album Loving You George.
