Release
edit"You Can't Miss Nothing That You Never Had" was released as non-album track on Ike Turner's Sonja label in February 1964. At the time of the release, Billboard magazine had discontinued the R&B singles chart from November 30, 1963 to January 23, 1965. Billboard therefore uses Cash Box magazine's stat in their place.[2] The single reached No. 29 on the R&B charts and No. 122 on Bubbling Under The Hot 100.[3][4]
"You Can't Miss Nothing That You Never Had" was later included on the Kent compilations The Ike & Tina Turner Sessions (1987) and The Kent Years (2000).[5]

Cash Box (February 15, 1964): The vet r&b singers could create a sales stir with this top-flight medium-paced tear-jerker with commercial rhythmic, teen-angled beat. Eye it.[6]
