I wish she’d known how much people loved her, I really do 😔❤️
She knew but it wasn't the love she needed. She needed real soul love and couldn't find it.
@@QueenNemesis327 yes that's true she needed self love more then anything else , she will always be loved and dearly missed ❤
I REALLY loved her.
Ikr🥺
Depression has a strong way of overshadowing that, even if you already know.
When deep depression takes over, its like looking through foggy glasses at all times. You can't see who loves you or who cares for you 🥀
And extreme loneliness. You just don't see it. People show it when you're gone. You'll never know.
Yea major confusion issues I agree
It's especially hard when the people around you can only give the love that they can give and not what you need
Which is why I get tired of hearing, "if only he/she knew..." People sound like parrots about a lot of things in life. How many times have we heard of somebody seeming "normal" the night before taking their lives? People really think a person isn't aware of the love in their lives, before deciding to end it? It's clearly not enough. I would never promote suicide, but I understand. A lot of the worlds problems comes down to pure selfishness. Some people can't handle it and want out. After a person takes their own life, the fact people usually talk about what everybody else wanted, says a lot.
Yes very true!
She was so beautiful.. and her eyes were so dreamy.
I feel like Phyllis is erased from the music industry, or better yet not given much light. I'm 32 and most of my friends never heard of her. Maybe her music but not her. Rest peacefully queen, miss Phyllis!
So very true!
70s music and artists was replaced by 80s music which we still remember
So sad! I’m 32 as well and I love Phyllis
It’s up to the culture to keep her legacy alive
You see how fresh and young “Whitney Houston” looked when they signed her, Phyllis looked just as young and vibrant when she started and they did the same exact thing to the both of them.
Many a talented singer has been ruined by bad management and the rigors of the entertainment business.
Makes you think if Clive Davis was a positive or negative influence?
@@kennethmorris8593 DITTO
Didn’t both have mental Heath issues prior ?
@@AestheticallyC who's heath? Lol.
I've always adored this beautiful woman and her music I pray God has mercy on her soul......I hope your at peace 🕊
She was beautiful, so sad
Would it be less sad if she wasn't?
@@louiseleite3866 you reaching, get a life
@@louiseleite3866 If that is what was meant, the comment would have been "This is as sad as possible because she was beautiful. " That was clearly not the intent of the comment.
And the million dollar question remains, after all these years since 1995, why hasn’t there been a great bio motion picture to tell her story for eternity? If they ever finally make one it should be done right, and it should showcase her happy times and successes as well as expose her inner demons and bad relationships , personal and professional. We love you Phyllis, rest on in peace. 🎤💐🙏🏾🌹
Why? So they can have Zendaya play her. 🙄
Eye think Jazmine Sullivan channeled her recently at some type of award show. When they do do a authentic movie on the Great Ms.Hyman...Jazzy just might grab tht role
@@dvinegoddess77 we know she’s a great singer, but it’s also gonna take a great actress also…
@@Lovejazz01 yeah she would indeed have 2 b in some acting classes & be around those tht knew knew The Goddess Phyllis. Eye'm talking about being around her siblings, friends & those tht knew knew her in the industry...but only the 1's tht had/have her best interest at heart. If not Jazzy...who else could handle the role?? Any thoughts?
Lady Phyllis Hyman could sing, God blessed her with a beautiful singing voice.
Phyllis Hyman’s music always moves me to tears, because of both the power of her voice and her tragic story. I’m ordering the book now!
Phyllis Hyman was so beautiful and talented, May She Rest in Paradise.
My wife and I were at the Apollo concert she was supposed to perform at With the whispers. They made an announcement on stage that she had passed away, Everyone was crushed😔
I had no idea how beautiful this woman was all around😭🤍🤍🤍Rest in peace gorgeous 🤍🕊
Even in death, I still love this woman. She was so under appreciated.
She was absolutely stunning
I'll never forget when she died, a male DJ on kiss FM new York said on the radio, "she checked herself out, oh well." You never know what's going on with someone in their lives and I always thought that was very disrespectful.
Yes it was! He was a real jerk for that! 🤬
No it wasn't Lenny. I'm pretty sure it was Mike Shannon.
Not "oh well "😡 Ms Hyman did not take disrespect well I'm sure she paid him a visit in one of his nightmares
@@Des_Zee Mike Shannon was like that.He was friends with Wendy Williams no surprise there.
@@tyrabaker1632 Is that the same Mike Shannon that's on SiriusXM Heart & Soul?
She was so beautiful and talented, I wish she could have found peace in her life.
Such a beautiful and talented woman. So sad to hear everything she went through.
Phyllis hyman is a true icon
She was so beautiful and talented!
She was so beautiful and make up contour was always on point ..keep resting in peace
She could dress like no other. I loved her style
If a biopic about the great Phyllis Hyman ever gets made. I hope Lisa Nicole Carson will portray her. She was a RARE talent. Rest peacefully! 😔🙏🏾♥️🕊️
She definitely favors her
@@Komediennekymd2009 👍🏾
@KomedienneKymD True, but Jazmine Sullivan could do the singing some justice though.
@@aramassmith Of course, Lisa could lip sync. Jazmine Sullivan is a 🔥 vocalist!
@@danavixen6274 I think Lisa Nicole Carson may be a little too old for Hollywood now to play younger Phyllis. She definitely would've been a good contender. I think Jazmine would be a great choice now because She could definitely slay the vocals. Honestly besides Jazmine or Lalah Hathaway I can't think who else could do Phyllis vocals any justice🤔
R.I.P. Phillis Hyman.
She be missed.
🙏🏾💐🌹☮️❤️💯
Phyllis Hyman is still a iconic singer,i am saddened by her passing ,she was so talented and beautiful .RIP.Phyllis🕊🦋🕊🦋
Yes! Phyllis Hyman was such an underrated vocalist! One of my favorite contraltos. Her tone was rich and beautiful.
I hate to say it, but so much pain in her voice that you felt it too
She never sold out, hat off for her
@Peter1999 Right!☝️👍👏👑💐💎💯
Don't Wanna Change the World and Living All Alone by Phyllis Hyman are still classics!!
Meet me on the moon is my all time fav ughhh
I have her cd, and pretty much every song on there is my favorite but my all time favorite is Living All Alone.
Living in confusion is a BOP!!!
Living in confusion also.
Old Friend kills me every time I hear it.
She’s one, whom I feel was a “Great Soulful singer Artist ! Who was probably missed Understood and lonely. But still a Queen & LOVED 🥰 R.I.P.
I never heard of her prior to seeing her Unsung episode and it's sad that she suffered from bipolar disorder and took her own life. I wish she woulda gotten the help she needed sooner.
Phyllis was a gift to this world. There could never be another. 🌹
The videos for Living All Alone and Don't Wanna Change the World by Phyllis Hyman were on heavy rotation on BET!!!
Such a beautiful soul.I think she had no idea how much she was truely loved!RIP my Sister!
IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT FAME AND FORTUNE ISN'T EVERYTHING, IF YOU HAVE NO ONE TO SHARE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITH. SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY,WHO WAS VERY LONELY.AND FELT MISUNDERSTOOD.SO SAD.😢 REST IN PEACE MISS HYMEN AND WHITNEY.✝️🛐☮️💟🙏❤️👍🏽..
She was such a beautiful woman. 😍
Us cancers ♋️ are so sensitive and can fall into depression so quickly 😔. I sing “You know how to love me” at the top of my lungs 😂. Love you Phyllis 🥰
As a cancer myself I also understood the controlling part of her too because cancers like to control our own destiny.
This is true. I’m a Cancer also
I will always remember her in school daze. No botox. No weave. 100% real. She was amazing.❤❤❤❤
I love her. It hurts my heart that she was so troubled.
She was truly breathtaking! My heart always aches when I hear her story ❤️
She had the most beautiful, expressive eyes.
Ms, Phyllis was an artist, she did not lower her artistic standards for anyone, Because of this record companies blacklisted her
I miss you.. she was so precious..I love you Phyllis
I love her so much. I even got a big picture of her on my living room wall. Continue to rest, Queen!
she was SO beautiful. I hate how she left this Earth. Rest In Peace ♥️🙏🏾
I hate how her life ended. This saddened me. She didn't get the credit she deserved from the elites or have the opportunity to be as creative as she wanted to be. She didn't like being told what to do and how to do it. She was a free spirit. She sang about "love" she wasnt getting in return from those she wanted it from. Thank you so much for posting about her🕊
🌷RIP PHYLLIS🌷
Agreed!!!!
This Queen sang at my college homecoming back in the late 80s.
She also had a massive hit on the Northern Soul scene in England, "You know how to love me" Still gets lots of plays in UK soul clubs!
“I’m tired.” 😢
Hope she’s at peace now
B.A.P. 🌹
she was amazing!
Sure was
I love her so much. Still listen to her till this day. Grandma's fav, she would play "Living in confusion" when she was mad at my grandpa😂😂
😂😂😂😂NOT MAD AT GRANDPA!
Yessssss that is my favorite song by her
😂😂😂😂😂
@@ladykey473 😂😂
So underrated
She was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! I am so intrigued by her. Such a beautiful woman who you could tell had a certain class and sophistication about her.
R.i.p Phyllis Hyman gone but never ever forgotten
I remember my mother pulling over the car to cry after hearing the radio broadcast Phyllis’s death. I didn’t understand it then because I was a kid but as an adult I completely understand it now! To hear how such a beautiful and talented person was clearly tormented and in so much pain to be willing to take their own life is truly upsetting.
To this day, if my mother hears the song “You know how to love me”, she tears up!
Mannnn I love Phyllis Hyman. I hope somebody does a biopic of her, she was always breathtaking for me!
I cried after hearing of her death. It stills hurts that she isn’t around. May she Rest In Peace.
Pauletta, lot of people in her life didn't pay attention to her cry for help. she was so phyne.
Paulette, a lot of us cried about Phyllis.
I had the opportunity to meet her in our hometown Philly. She was very beautiful, tall, statuesque and glamorous! I met her in the ladies room of all places during intermission at a concert. She was very friendly and outgoing with everyone in the bathroom. I was so sorry to hear she passed away and was suffering alone due to mental illness.
There has never been and will never be another voice as soulful and rich as Phyllis Hyman. I wish she knew how much she was loved.
Cancers have the Ability to see through people, that may have explained her Distaste for Clive. Rip 👑! Our Birthdays were a Day apart
@@rvatxn I'm the 7th. Hello
@@sirblack1619 😂😂😩I can't argue with u on that, you're right😒. I thought this problem existed for me, due to being the baby of the Family
Thank you one thing she was not was fake if she ain't like you she would never pretend to
Depends on the Synastry, and depends on the Alignments that particular Cancer Sun has. Astrology ain't just Sun Signs . Positive Luna Day Peace, Love and Gnosis ❤#sacralchakra💛💚💙💜💫💫💫#3spaceships
Why did I read distaste as ‘disatè” 🤣 smh
But yes, that intuitive knowing
She was a beautiful woman, and she had a magnificent voice.
Phyllis Hyman was so talented and beautiful!♥️
To this day I can still sing the lyrics to most of her songs because she is one of my mother's favorite singers so she had her albums on cassette tapes and they would always get played on repeat in the car.
'You Know How To Love Me' is my favorite Phyllis Hyman song.
What a beautiful woman. And her voice…stunning, subtle, soulful. What a sad waste of beauty and talent.
I love Phyllis and still listen to her until this day. Depression and mental illness is real. S.I.P Phyllis🙏🏾🕊
Her voice was amazing
1 of my favorite artist of all times such a Queen R.I.Power 👑
RIP Phyllis Hyman
Living All Alone, Prime of My Life and I Refuse to Be Lonely are her best albums. She gave us her all!
I love her music soooooo much I have one of her albums and still play it all the time. May her beautiful precious soul rest in perfect peace ❤🙏
Just goes to show money doesn't guarantee happiness. She was too talented ahead of her time. R.I.P.
If the funds are used correctly
Like to find hobbies , coping skills , hidden gifts to distract , and or finding creative LLCS to also help distract . I think it may
@@nickbrooks2408
All I was saying was money can help find distractions to heal / mend from the pain ....,
I’m pretty sure she didn’t die wealthy.
I read her biography, "Strength Of A Woman." She died BROKE and in SERIOUS debt. I don't
know if the right term would be "penniless," as she was living on, and paying her employees with,
BORROWED money.
@@nickbrooks2408 , Some poor people would totally disagree with you.
Being poor can definitely be depressing.
So you all need to stop the "money doesn't guarantee happiness" crap. Money provides for many needs and desires.
Living all alone is a classic and I love don’t wanna change the world, and I love the way she dresses. Lover her. Great video as always.
She was so beautiful ♥️♥️♥️
S.I.P Phyllis ... We're Still Listening 👂 2 Ur Beautiful Voice & As Long As We're Listening ... Ur Still Around !!! That Voice & Those Eyes Of Ur's Will AlWays Have Me MeMORize ...
The biggest stars never go out peacefully. It's so sad and disheartening.
She is timeless you'll never get music like hers anymore rest in peace to the queen Phyllis Hyman before Beyonce Maya on Monica on Brandy where was Phyllis Hyman
I could listen to your voice all day.
So beautiful, so talented, so sad. Great voice❤
She is so uniquely beautiful. She reminds me of my Auntie Donna who passed.
I've always felt her best music came after she left Arista. The songs felt more real and organic. She wasn't just singing something that someone wrote she was living in it. It's a shame she always had a guard up when it came to people around her but I'm good on Clive Davis. She saw how snakey he was and didn't wanna boot lick for him. She stayed true to her roots and didn't sell out and I will always respect her for that.
She was problematic and a drug addict.. Clive Davis wanted to elevate her and guide her career and she battled him every step of the way until he lost interest..
I still remember to this day when Clive eulogized Whitney, and it was all about business, what she did for the him and the label. He had no personal anecdotes to share. Even Kevin Costner, who just co-starred with her in one dang movie had a more heartfelt and moving eulogy. F@@k Clive Davis.
@@mamadouaziza2536 And suffering from bipolar disorder.
Somewhere in my lifetime was my favorite song from her even the album cover was amazing. When I heard that she took her own life I was very sad and cried the whole day. Between her and Whitney Houston such beautiful talent snatched from the world. Rest in peace Phyllis U2 Whitney🕊❤️🌹🥀
I just got my Old Friend Deluxe Collection of Phyllis Hyman songs from 1976-1998. 9 CDs what a treat and I'm looking forward to listening and enjoying this remarkable songbird. Love you Phyllis...rest in peace♥️
The book of her life story is one the saddest I've ever read such a tortured soul.
May she rest in peace.
Great singer and control over her vocal. RIP Phyllis Hyman
I love her so so so much. Her voice was so beautiful and RESONANT. I can’t imagine how much pain she was in. I miss her.
And Clive is trash.
My dad and my uncle was with The Stylistics playing bass and drums when they first started the group. They were under Clive Davis and my dad told me that he was the devil in human flesh. All he tried to do with the members of the group was divide and conquer.
@@Christrulesall2 Sounds a lot like Phil Spector.
Clive Davis killed Phyllis Hyman
@@jensendavenport1406 he had Whitney Houston killed to
@Ms.C Clive Davis is evil man everyone knows this .alot of people in the industry know this to
Man I loved her she's my ♋ twin her b'day is 4 days before mine. Phyllis Hyman was a great singer. R.I.P
She was so beautiful and I liked her singing and just hate she was so depressed RIP
28 years on, the pain never goes away. Her legacy lives on
Beautiful talented but at the same time, underrated singer, songwriter and actress
This was so well done. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😉
Beautiful voice. Beautiful soul. RIP 💔👑💄👠
Phyllis Hyman had the most beautiful voice. The loss of a great talent. She is missed.
Ready for a biopic about her!
She was so beautiful!! I cried so hard when I learned she passed😢😢😢
Still love me some Phyllis Hyman wish she was still here with us. I'm just wondering if she was alive today what would she be doing now? This woman suffered from depression for many years until too late.
It’s crazy she’s a cancer. I have similar traits like her. This is why I love her. She’s drop dead gorgeous
I agree she was stunning 💯
My mother is a cancer ...nothing like that at all...in Unsung Phyllis sister said that mental illness ( bipolar disorder) ran in the family including the sister herself...
Here we go again with these toxic astrology comments 🤦♀️
The sign of CANCER was only HALF of her personality = MOODY. She was also born the Chinese Year
of the OX = STUBBORN. ... Stubborn + Moody = ... Do THAT math.
@@salonegal4024 Talk about adults who don't like taking Accountability for their bad attitudes...it's always "I'm Aquarius, Cancer, Pisces...we do shit." 🙄
Love these The Life and Death of stories so much
Me too!
This is the first time ive heard of this woman what a stunning Beautiful classy fine woman
She will forever be my #1 Favorite Vocalist of all time. Her creativity, tenacity, tone, and talent is what really reeled me in on Her. Her music is timeless. I’m 22 years old and feel every word she sings.
Rest In Peace Ms. Hyman 🖤
She was,such an AWESOME entertainer
Phyllis knew what was up. God rest her soul ❤️
I will never forget watching television in 1979 when that beautiful face singing "You know how to love me" with that amazing voice ❤ ... R.I.P. Phyllis Hyman
It’s eerie how every time I come across something about this beautiful but challenged woman, I always feel a troubling and sad connection to her because our lives are similar in so many ways. RIP beautiful one.
One of my favorite female singers. She killed herself on my birthday and it broke my heart. Her full, sultry voice was unique and special. She was drop dead gorgeous and statuesque. Her whistling was simply amazing!
Of course Clive, aka Svengali, is always somewhere around when there is destruction.
I would lay on my back on the floor and practice singing her music.
She died too soon. I miss my #oldfriend
She was beautiful and talented
How sad I play her song everyday... not knowing her struggle rest in peace thank you for your voice...🇲🇽🇺🇸...
