Tracks: Miss Me Blind / It's A Miracle (Extended Dance Re-mix) Colour By Numbers About The Record: Miss Me Blind, is a song by Culture Club. Known for an Isley Brothers-influenced guitar solo from Roy Hay in the middle of the song, it was the third single released from Colour by Numbers in the US, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in spring 1984. This gave the band its sixth consecutive top 10 hit, as well as its final top 10 hit there to date. The single was also released in Canada (where it also reached No. 5), Brazil, Australia and Japan. It was also the band's biggest R B hit, reaching No. 5 on Billboard's 'Soul' chart. The song is set over a catchy backdrop, however, the lyrics speak of a love-gone-sour relationship, particularly Boy George's relationship with drummer Jon Moss, as with many of the band's hits. The song also includes a reference to the title of Culture Club's previous album. In most countries (like Japan, Canada and US), its B-side was the ballad Colour by Numbers. In Mexico, the B-side was Victims. In Brazil, the B-side was Boy Boy (I'm The Boy). A very popular 12-inch was issued, gaining big success in American clubs and elsewhere. The popular extended 12-inch version contained extracts of the other Culture Club hit of the spring, It's a Miracle. In the US, the Miss Me Blind / It's a Miracle 12" single reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in May 1984. The official music video features Boy George and the rest of the Culture Club members in a Japanese setting, and ends with a woman dressed as a geisha and a man dressed as a karateka trying to extinguish a fire using guitars. The music video was directed by Steve Barron. Backing vocals on Miss Me Blind were performed by R B singer Jermaine Stewart.
