She DESERVES a Movie! She DESERVES her Roses! She was VOCAL powerhouse. That is Unsung...0.55 you can see the sadness in her Eyes!!! It HIT me..
U see it too
I agree, she definitely needs a Movie!
I agree, it's time for a movie!
@@iriepoetryinmotion5141 300k people watched this and you say “you saw it too”. No shit.
Yes and I could be only one capable of accurately portraying her. I deserve to have the Phyllis Hyman role.
I could see Jazmine Sullivan to play her in a movie
no...they look nowhere near each other, come on now
@@Giselle_Glam594 Exactly, even if they have to use Phyllis Hyman's voice over, they should find someone who embodies her fully even in her statuesque figure.
I would of saw the young queen latifah, play as Phyllis Hyman cause Phyllis would wear them hats and had a different style in clothes
My girl Marsha Ambrosius should portray her she is Ms. Hyman reborn PERIOD!!
Me too those big eyes will bring her life through
"Yesterday I was somebody's baby now today I'm a woman on my own" Get's me every time.
she sang it with so much conviction. the entire album was one of her best works.
me too
Her voice is Amazing
I can't stand this feeling all alone
Me too!
You struck me with the Last Sentence. “Phyllis had alot of Love from everyone else But She lacked it in the place it matters most………From Inside.” I’m trying to get there as well 🙏🏾🙏🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 R.i.p Phyllis 🕊
You’ll get there sis… keep going
@@sasha.dollaz5756 Thank You So Much I Appreciate that 😊🙏🏾
Yes sis. You will get there. Never give up and remember you are worthy!!!!!!
Me too it is a fight every second!
I was/am a huge Phyllis Hyman fan and I was so depressed when she passed away that I couldn’t play her records for a long time. I identified with her mental health struggles since I also have bipolar disorder and suffer from extreme mood swings. That last sentence “she had a lot of love from everyone else except the place it matters most, inside” really hit home. Life is difficult and I admit there have been many times I just wanted to leave this earth because of the deep internal pain I felt and still feel. Every day has become an effort to just go on. I’m trying to to win this battle, but it’s hard, very hard and lonely.
I suffer from Bipolar 1, Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depression, Psychosis. I am better on my medications. I still have some bad days, but by the grace of God, I am coping well!
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Amen 🙏
Grats. Meds only work half the time for me, you are blessed with success.
God bless you for your strength. I have mental illness also. I’ve been in therapy for over forty years. As they say, it works if u work it!
@@dianasmith725 me too
As beautiful as Phyllis Hyman was I was amazed how she never had to show her body for likes or validation. Class act.
Why do you assume and project that showing a body part means it's for validation...makes no sense because the same ones whp proase covered also lust after flesh...
@@debracox3020 that Era was filthy as well. Nothing is new, it simply gets presented in different forms.
It's well known, that about all of the women in Hollywood in the 40s, 50s, 60s had to sleep with the directors for opportunities.
I guess they slept with the directors with style and grace...
@@pianoblack5885 Allow me to lace…lol. Chile! We love to romanticize the past. These folk were addicts, abusers, abused, cheated in contracts, questionable seggs etc..look at Aretha with her birthing at age 12 or 14 or something like that? But men wanna act like they forgot 2 Live Crew and the countless other male groups introducing scantily clad women in their videos and as the LEADERS they so desperately want or claim to be how do they not get it that women often do what they think will attract MEN?
@@debracox3020 Phillis is a queen and should be treated as such.
Marilyn Monroe probably would have only allowed you on her set as her cook or nanny and you couldn't eat in her restaurants, stay in her hotels, go to her schools, have accounts at her banks, live in her communities, etc.
You probably would have had to enter the films studios from the back entrance.
Is that era grace to you?
To say that era was full of grace is basically like Trump says... Make America Great Again like it was in those days...
America wasn't great for black people in the 50s...
Are you also referring to the era where the much less talented Monroe, who stole the style of the much more talented Dorothy Dandridge... Could become a much bigger star?
The white women who stole black women's material and used it to become huge successes without giving them any tribute or support?
Now, I ask you Deborah Cox, what is so gracious about an era such as that??
@@jacquelynn2051 Have you ever met an Aunt Betty as big as Debra Cox?
She is carrying the flag for her oppressor like no one else...
I bet deep down she wishes she looked like M. Monroe...
Damn shame...
Man I love me some Phyllis! I cried like a baby when I heard she died. I'm a grown ass man crying right now as I type this comment. Thank you for this story sir. I knew bits and pieces about her life. But I didn't know as much about her life in depth. I knew about her troubles in her romantic life. I didn't know she had a husband for a number of years. I remember hearing that she was lonely which caused her to take her life. My first thought was, "Damn I would've married you in a heartbeat Phyllis Woman of my dreams Hyman!". I would've changed my last name to Hyman! She would've gotten tired of me. I would've been clinging on her leg so hard, she wouldn't have been able to walk!
your comment brought a smile...thank you for the heartfelt comments interwoven with some humor! You rock!
@@MaryCross. thanks!
Aw
i will continue to honor her memory with my Phyllis Hyman tributes...so nany LOVE & MISS Ms. Hyman! Her cousin Vanessa will joon me on stage Friday! encouragemt is a blessing and appreciated. ALL THINGS PHYLLIS!!!!
Awwh man so sweet
Her note gave me chills because I understand. I once suffered from manic depression. Depression is one of those things that lingers around waiting to come back after you have overcame it. It’s a constant battle that requires prayer and faith to keep going each day. The spirit of heaviness (depression) and resignation of life go hand in hand. Sadly Hyman like many others lose the battle.
😞😰😭
Not many people not even therapist can articulate what depression is. For about 20 years I was depressed until I read a deliverance manual that stated depression was a spirit. I started speaking to that spirit and using prayer & the word of God.The depression indeed went away, but as you have indicated it lingers around and if you do not constantly speak to it it will grab a hold to you again.
@@vfree4579 yes, amen 💚🙏 very well said, it is a spirit. Deliverance is so important. Anyone suffering from the spirit of depression & heaviness, call out to Jesus, get in the word of God, speak God’s word and rebuke the lies of the enemy.
@@vfree4579 Wow. Please, do you have the name of that 'deliverance manual'?
Resignation of life!! That’s deep. Love for herself is what she was lacking.
That's all she ever wanted...just to be loved married with a family...RIP...Queen..❤❤❤
I just want the same thing too. Here's to keeping praying.... Definitely don't want to keep living all alone
Actually, the man she was dating, who threw her last birthday party in Fort Worth was going to propose the following week. She asked him to go back with her, but he was directing a play and couldn’t go! She had been particularly temperamental that weekend and very pouty and cranky! However she never indicated in anyway that she planned to do herself harm and check out. William Earl Ray, actor/director was devastated at her passing! The truth however is that he could not have saved her! She hated her illness and nobody was going to be able to stop her!
She had a couple of abortions. She didn’t want children
She just wanted to be loved u told her story beautifully King ❤️
Thank you so much ❤️
She did! But its VERY DIFFICULT to have a relationship with someone with bipolar disorder 😕 and throw in addiction! Nearly impossible
This is so scary! To look at a woman so beautiful, that she reminds you of you. To hear her story, to look in her eyes, to daily go through the same thing that you go through, is very scary! The only thing that's different from her actual story is that I don't do drugs! I cry so much for living in this world alone. Family friends can't fill this empty filling that you fill! Every time she cracked a smile, it was fake! She was literally all over the place trying to fill that void in her life! I'm 45 now, I cut myself off from the world. It's not out there, what I'm looking for, is not out there. And it wasn't out there for her! She's one of my favorite singers. Living all alone, is what brought me to this video. It's scary for me to see so much of me in her, in her eyes, in her smile. She did her best to hide what she was going through. It wasn't easy for her to do, being a Star. That's what saved her the first time. The second time, she pulled my move, locked herself in, came up with a story, then shut the world out. I literally can't stand this feeling living all alone. But, it's not out there.
As cliché as it may sound that is when you turn to God. I know that feeling of loneliness and depression. You have to find the little things. Nature calms me. Plus the belief of one day it will get better. Find things you love to do no matter how small or silly. Talk to the Lord and pray. I promise you, it will get better. Just gotta believe it will. Much love to you and all those that struggle with depression and loneliness.
I pray things are looking up for you may God continue to bless u and keep u close🙏🙏🙏
How are you feeling? Just checking in. ❤
I just read your comment. My heart aches for you. If you don't mind, how are you doing? Praying for your peace.💜🙏🏽
😢I hope all is well girlfriend.. I hope you find peace an loving yourself.. love yourself an what your looking for will find you❤
I met her at a restaurant in South Philly. I was with a young lady and she was so stuck on how cute we were. We were about 18 at the time. She was dressed in some fly clothes and was also on a date with a lucky gentleman. She talked to us for a while and she was just the nicest celebrity I had ever met. The Restaurant was M’ont Serrât on South Street.
Oh my goodness my first Job out of culinary arts school was at Mont serrat...wow what memories
This was around 1984 or 1985. It was a really popular restaurant and had really great food. Apparently good enough for someone of her stature and notoriety.
Lucky you, how fantastic! It sounds like she was a very classy lady.
Clive davis treated every black female artist he's ever worked with like ponds! Wake up recording artist! He's a python, and pythons kill!🐍
Most definitely... but it also seemed in her case that many men in the industry & her personal life used her to their benefit... so sad 😔
Python? That's an understatement! Thats what they do! Follow us around and capitalize on our talents!
He did the same To Whitney Houston
Yessss
Welp we all know where he's going
You can tell she was battling depression just by listening to her songs. What a shame, such talent, grace, beauty for the men that treated her bad isn't surprising at all, that's who they are. This is why im a firm believer in self love. Rip Phyllis Hyman 🙏💔
True Talk.....
I used to date Phyllis's cousin "Tiffany Hyman".when I was with Tiff, I met Phyllis a few times & she was extremely nice. I didn't know her well enough to look for any signs of unhappiness. Phyllis was a normal woman....Funny story, she used to tease me & Tiff asking us jokenly "When Are We Gonna Get Married...(Smile)?" That's was one of the things I dug about Phyllis. She had a bubbly sense of humor....💯🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
How sad I was…even as a kid when she passed. Absolutely talented powerful voice and remarkable beauty. Depression is real and shouldn’t be as taboo among people of color. Please reach out for help my brothers and sisters. We are worth it.
Yes
Facts ❤️
I agree.
She wasn't just depressed, which is horrible in of itself. She was Bipolar. She would stop taking her medication because it caused weight gain. Sad.
That combination of Phyllis and Clive fud not click.Thus video shed mire clear light in it than anything I ever saw before. It was not meant to be because Clive wants to sell records and Hyman just wants to sing. And she always had those mental challenges. But God did she have all the attributes. You can't even do her life because her super personality would be hard to capture. She was a real Phenom. There will never be nobody like her,ever.
I fell in love with Phyllis Hyman's voice and listened to her music a lot in college. I saw her in concert several times and she always gave a great performance. I didn't know she was suffering so much in her personal life. When she died I was heartbroken. She deserves her flowers.....rest easy queen!
Life just proves you could have fortune and fame. But if you have no self love. You have an empty void in your life that will cause depression R.I.P Ms Hyman
yes
Depression isn't about lack of self love ..
Phyllis Hyman had bipolar disorder, which she medicated with illicit drugs. So that played a big factor on her mental state, which eventually lead to her suicide!
For her it was more than that but yes
The sadness in her eyes....such a beautiful talented woman gone too soon...I'm like Cleedis Klump "wasn't nothing wrong with Phyllis, Phillis was a fox!"
That self love statement at the end was very deep & beautiful! Great job with putting this video together, may she rest peacefully 🙏🏾
Thank you for watching my video I really appreciate it 💯
@@beyondthefamecelebritystories I’m just as appreciative for ur channel!! Keep ‘em coming! ❤️🔥
She was simply stunning and a true artist. I absolutely loved her. Sad she was battling so many demons. Truly missed may she find the peace she so desperately needed. Meet Me on the Moon is an incredible song.
A classic!!!!
Powerful song..
Yes meet me on the moon an amazing tune one of my favorites
Exactly
You know how to love me taught me how to dance...and GOOD...I burns the floor up.🙂🙂🙂
She was so beautiful mental health is serious
Yes it is 😞
“Loving You isn’t worth the pain of losing you!” ~ Phyllis Hymon
One of my favorite singers. RIP
And Clive Davis has been in this industry for a long time. Rappers have stories about him.
I love the answer is you and you know how to love me and yes class Davis decrypted ass has been around a little bit too long with it slick ass
He's the devil
MINES TOO- OLD FRIEND, SOMEWHERE IN MY LIFETIME, YOU KNOW HOW TO LOVE ME AND WHEN I GIVE MY LOVE ARE MY FAVORITES! ❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰❤️
Supposedly so did the bay city rollers
Just a walking living DEVIL
She was so gorgeous to me, rest in peace Phyllis. 👑🌹
Hell yes 😎😎😎😎
ABSOLUTELY 💯
ME TOO!
Man I love her, her sound, her look!!! Never speaking in past tense ❤
I saw her twice in Atlantic City at the Trump Taj Mahal .She was stunning and a great performance .I will never forget her.
Have all her CD albums. Amazing unique powerful one of a kind voice like that of Dionne Warwick. What's spooky was the video revealed that Clive dropped her to sign Whitney and look how Whitney ended up sadly too with substance abuse and overdose. RIP Phyllis, you were meant for heavenly choir. Amen.
She opened for Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam in Phoenix Arizona; my friend and I were floored, her voice was amazing. She was very talented. I was truly surprised and saddened when I heard she passed away in 1995.
Phyllis Hyman opened for Lisa Lisa OMG! It should have been the other way around. I'm sure Phyllis was reading Lisa Lisa saying, That Bitch can't sing!!! LMFAO 🤣 🤣 🤣. I can hear her now! 🤣. RIP Miss Hyman. 🙏💕🙏
Phyllis Hyman underrated af
She was such a tortured soul... No one sounds like her I really miss her 💜💜💜
She and I shared the same birthday “July 6”, I hated to hear of her passing. She was so beautiful and talented. She was one of the best female vocalist I’d ever heard.💕❤️
🍾"Hbd"🎂🍾
Cancer🙋🏿[6/29/59]checking in..✌🏿
Your welcome always
My birthday is July 6 as well. Love Phyllis!!
My birthday is July 6 also🥰🥰
Moon Goddess July 9th
My Mom played her all the time. That song Living all Alone was one of the most beautiful and saddest songs I have heard in my life and it’s even sadder listening to it now because I think about the failed toxic relationships I was in that ended no matter how hard I tried to love these women and treat them good they just didn’t want what I had to offer. I remember a ex telling me one time I was too nice because I treated her good. Dumbest sh*t I’ve had heard in my lifetime here and the dating scene is even more of a cesspool nowadays until I have accepted that I will die alone and I’m cool with that.
I play my friends used to say one more time my mother used to say one more time so maybe your mother's age cuz I'm 61 and I wore Phyllis Hyman album out
I feel this comment all too much. I too shall die alone.
I agree!!
I believe there's someone for everyone and my mom always played Phillis Hyman songs may she R.I.P
I feel the same way as well hopefully we all will find that special someone one day soon
I saw Phyllis Hyman perform once live. And what a phenomenal songstress she was. It's sad that she never knew how Phenomenal she was. God bless her beautiful memory and music genius!🎵🕊️♥️🙏🏽🥇🌹❤️👸🏽👑🕊️🥇🌹🎵♥️
I could literally hear the sadness in her song, Living All Alone. It wasn't made up. She didn't have to dig deep to bring that tone out. In many ways I've felt that pain. This song is one I think of often and can relate to. R.I.P. Phyllis. You are still one of the best voices there ever was!
I loved me some Phyllis Hyman. My Aunt Sandy wore "You Know How To Love Me" out when I was a little girl. I was a pre-teen when "Living All Alone" came out and I remember Video Soul always played it. I remember it like yesterday hearing that she died while listening to WCGI at my sister's house. I cried because I always thought she was so beautiful. To pay homage to Phyllis, I got a huge picture of her made for my living room. I always hoped that her energy finally found peace. RIP Queen.
I will be 52 and I you know how to love me is one of my go to I just learned something too also Whitney has tones of hers if you can catch it plus I'm not sure she took her own life That's just what everyone accepted She was too real The sharks hate that. Interestingly enough next up was Whitney. Ushered in by Clive Her sister added to the self demise narrative But I don't trust her I don't think she ever found a worthy companion and Clive I think was like dude from mahogany He's suspected of Janis Joplin Amy winehouse n yes Philly's Nobodies the wiser ohh n Whitney too Bruhhh I wanna know what really happen to Donny? He was a easy target too I think they take life insurance out on these artist n drive them to distruction Imo
You just took me back. You know how to love me reminds me of my mom. I love that song
This was so beautifully done .... blessings to you Bro for doing it I remember my mom use to play her music and I thought she was an awesome singer it hurts to know how many people suffer with mental illnesses through this video I hope we will all recognize it's right in front of our faces..... again Bro this was great❤️
Thank you ❤️
Love is something that can cause great happiness and great pain RIP Phyllis 🙏
When itz tru....wht can yhu do ❤ 6:39
Long live the beautiful soul and voice of Ms Phyllis Hyman 🕊🙏🏾
❤️
Phyllis was too Real for the industry and they wasn't ready for her and she didn't want to be turned out like Whitney Houston. And I truly believe if it wasn't for depression and her fighting to keep her sanity. She would of been a Top Flight Player in the Game Dominating the Underground independent scene with her own Music Label.
Yup
Turned out? Leave Whitney out of it.. Phyllis allowed the industry to shelve her recording .. they had her in a 360 by the time Dionne and Aretha suggested Arista to Cissy .. Whitney was a minor .. Whitney was already signed for features outside of Clive Davis… leave Whitney.. The Voice out of it.. they sound nothing alike .. Phyllis had five years before Whitney made her decision to be famous. Maybe you’re turned out.
That's right. The label Natalie Cole was signed with, had tried that same treatment on her. All the label executives want is to squeeze as much money as possible, as often as possible out of the talent. That's when Natalie wanted to record an album paying tribute to her father, Nat King Cole. But the label didn't think that a tribute album would have a number one single along with the number one album. So the execs told Natalie to do one more popular hit (Pink Cadillac) like the Everlasting album that had a top ten single. Natalie talked with her manager about what kind of album she wanted to make. Her manager supported her and said, if the label didn't want to let Natalie make the album she wanted then maybe she could be let out of her contract with the label. The powers that be deemed that Natalie Cole wasn't a money cow. So they said, sure we'll let you out of your contract!
And on June 11, 1991, Natalie Cole released Unforgettable... With Love!
Who could have predicted that a jazz influenced Natalie Cole album to be a monumental smash hit.
"Unforgettable" a virtual duet with her father; Nat King Cole, is just that - Unforgettable. EMI - Manhattan Records was the label that wanted to squeeze another "Pink Cadillac" kind of song out Natalie. And give the credit to Electra Records for seeing the possibilities for Natalie Cole's coming out from the shadow of her father. That's a really difficult task, because Nat King Cole cast a long shadow.
@@djk1mya, Clive Davis 'shelved' Patrice Rushen's album too. Until Patrice had a number one hit single that would help the sales for her album.
In Patrice Rushen's episode of Unsung, she tells the story of Clive Davis putting her album on the selve for two, (three?) years. That type of treatment from her label didn't effect her music career. That's because Patrice Rushen's talent is multi-faceted. She has adapted her skills to be a music director for many event/award TV shows. That's how much Patrice loves to make music. And 'one' Clive Davis ain't gonna stop the show!
@@djk1mya for one did I say anything about Phyllis voice sound alike No! Did I say anything about What kind of Contract she had Sign No! did I even ask for your opinion on this comment section about anything of what I didn't say no! no! and Hell No. When I said Turned out I was referring to the Outcome of her Circumstances of how Clyde Davis Screwed his Artist Out of their (Royalties) and for you to run your mouth and assume instead of saying what do you mean by that what are you implying like a normal respectful person would say but nah you just want to argue about stuff that I never said and never referred to and you don't even know how to read and comprehend and I suggest you leave your pointless non sense having mind out of my replies and go find your own.
Damn she was on same label as Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin … tough competition
She had her lane
@@columbusohio72 facts
I agree with u.😃😃😃😃😃😃
I think the bigger issue is that Arista was not promoting Phyllis like the other artists.
The way u tell these stories is so thoughtful and well done thank you 😊
I remember her death; her friends The Whispers were heartbroken, cancel their concert & cried while talking about her. It was out of nowhere & shocked she took her life. She was incredibly talented & incredibly lonely. Rest In Peace Ms Phyllis
So sad she was so beautiful 😖😥😢😭 if only she was diagnosed with better care of today l believe would of been here. She was amazing 👏🏾 be at peace girl 🙏🏾
I remember when I was a kid, seeing her sister coming outside screaming on her porch as I was on mines. That’s when the news announced her death and my mom explained that was her sister on the news. I felt so bad for her. My heart hurt for her sister.
I truly miss Phyllis ❤️! She was so appreciated! I am so heart broken that depression took her away from us!
My boy with the late night upload. We need more bro more consistent. I know we all got lives though lol
👍💜
She was battling some very powerful and dark demons from this story which is why she hated being alone. Lord knows what that dark and wicked music industry did to her but I am highly assured that put something on her because ain't no way she overdosed twice and left that note saying she was tired somebody put some dark powers on her life!
stop. mental health issues exists. Why are you dismissing that completely???!
@@8upernova81 Mental health issues exist, but how can I not dismiss it when she clearly was a music icon. She had to reach that place and position with a level head it just sounds like something terrible happened when she reached her stardom.
Beautiful woman, beautiful voice and definitely a classy Queen. RIP
Living All Alone is my favorite song by her beautiful voice RIP Phyllis Hyman ❤️
That's my favorite too
@@beyondthefamecelebritystories You did an OUTSTANDING JOB paying homage to Empress Phyllis Linda Hyman! I hope you will check out my Tribute to her if ever in a city near by. Thank you for honoring her so beautifully. (I used to imagine she was my mother since i was a foster kid and did not know my parents...especially since folks said i sounded so much like her when i sang... BLESSINGS to you and the Beyond The Fame team. You did your homework. I believe she'd be PROUD.
It's a beautiful song but it has a very dark low vibration energy to me. Get very depressing listening to it. Puts me in a bad place. I'm still looking for the same love Phyllis was seeking.... Maybe that's why
Her personality seemed so vibrant and funny I love it RIH Queen ❤
Great legendary singer. Great talent gone too soon. RIP Hyman!! Mental Health is very serious and important. Get help and don't run away from your problems!!
Loved waking up hearing her voice in the mornings.. R.I.P Phyllis Hyman
Glad I found this channel
Rip to a queen who's talent was above and beyond the greatest singers of all time.
I love Phyllis Hyman. Living all alone is still that song 🎶
She's before my time, I've been studying her recently. I love her and feel close to her. ❤
Dam right lol..........
What a beautiful gifted lady, she passed so young. This story almost made me cry.
I always loved Phyllis Hyman and Angela Bofill. I’ll never forget where I was when I heard she had passed. Just heartbreaking!
This was really good. A talented singer but sadly underrated.
It's 27 years since she died
She was beautiful and talented. I guess she want the perfect relationship or a mate. I think everyone does because that's how it's really supposed to be. Woman and Man=Kids=Grandkids and so on and so on. Omg, Clive Davis!
Long Live Phyllis Hyman♥️
I love the 112 Cupid instrumental playing in the background great touch 💕
I don't know if it was the age she was born into but I think it is so sad she thought she needed a man to feel like a whole and complete person. There are so many causes, charities and children in need in this world you can give yourself to that could give a person a sense of value and worth. For some ppl, it is the presence of God within that gives them a sense of peace and value. But needing to have a man in order to be happy is living a very limited existence. I do understand that depression is a real thing but some depression is cause by our way of thinking.
Lol
If you were meant to live alone there wouldn't be reproduction and we wouldn't be here!! I don't get how people have become content with thinking that you were born alone to die alone!! What's the point of having a beating heart if you weren't meant to share it with someone!?? The problem is it's too many hurt people out here who have used their parents and others relationships as a crutch instead of letting go and getting God be the foundation and stop settling. I'm in my 30's and I've never been married and it's not because I'm ugly it's because I won't be in anything that I can't see myself in LONGTERM. My internal happiness is important. My sons are my greatest gift and I learned what love was loving them because they don't care what I look like or what I wear or what I'm shaped like I'm their hero and that's the greatest love ever. They tell me everyday and I tell them!! And when they say they want to be like me I tell them they can't but it makes me feel good and that's motivation for me!!! But that's just me. I guess some people really be miserable out here FRFR!! I been in love with myself!! Shit I don't think it's anybody greater!! But that's just me
Women from her era were taught having a man was better accomplishment than degrees, personal freedom and other accomplishments. I don’t know why they were force fed that but it’s hurting them.
Well when God made man , out of his image and call him Adam and then Adam became lonely and made Eve. Out of Adams rib, so believe or not we do need each , because we were made from each other … If you don’t like it , blame God .
Yeah…No…
I will forever and always love Phylis H. She is still a permanent fixture in my household. Her voice was just different.
RIP Beautiful 💕✨💕
Phyllis Hyman was one of the greatest female voices ever in the music business
Other great females voices ever in music are
Minnie Riperton
Teena Marie
Whitney Houston.... Rip to all those beautiful ladies
My favorite song of hers was " I Refuse To Be Lonely". It's so haunting. You feel all the hope,the pain and rejection, the determination and frustration.She put every emotion she had into this song. So tragic that she not only never got the recognition and success in her career she deserved,but also didn't have the lasting success in her personal life,or a sense of self worth and belief in herself. That was the most tragic thing of all. I hope she is finally at peace.
I just loved her fashion style and style of music. She was original and authentic. One of many of the songs I loved by Phyllis Hyman was and still is Pharoah Sanders Feat. Phyllis Hyman "As You Are" . Just breath takingly beautiful.
These music producers seem to have a lot of artists that mysteriously die (after they get hooked on drugs and no longer selling records)...they also lose a LOT of family members, too.
I shared a great friendship with Phyllis,work some of her Shows .
Talked over the phone late nights .
She came to my fights , gives me Chills to see this and hear her voice .
I still have her voice on my phone voice recorder . Unique as her voice is , there is only one woman who’s voice sound very similar. Scary ,
Miss you , love you forever .
How did you meet
I love your voice so soothing 😌 💕
This is one I've been wanting to see. I don't listen to music nearly as much as I use to, but when I did, most of the artist mentioned in this video about the beautiful, talented, glamorous Phyllis Hyman were the artist I preferred to listen to. Phyllis was a unique mystery. Sort of popped up and made us fall in love with her and then drop out of the scene too often and too long. Her music lives on. I thank God for letting us know her and for the talent he blessed her with to share with us. May she rest in peace. Thanks for sharing this video with us. It was done with class and dignity in the details. Thank you.
I've been seriously, tying to avoid watching this very, heartbreaking story. I'm still having trouble with her passing. Every song she sang, touched me deeply. What a tremendous, and tragic, loss.🙏🏾🕊
Beautiful report on her life and accomplishments. THE Glamor photography was booming and she was a inspiration those those women who wanted a Glamor shot like hers.And we gave it to them.Those studio glam shots are heirlooms today.
Thank you for the memories
This is quickly becoming one of my fav channels. I watched every single one. Keep them coming.
Thank you for the support fr
Didn't know about her until today u put me up on game great content 👌
I’ve watched many documentaries on Phyllis! You did a phenomenal job. It’s hard watching it. I always tear up when watching anything related to her. Such a beautiful person.
She really suffered at the end so sad RIH Phyllis
Phyllis Hyman really had an amazing voice. This is what happens to people that don't compromise. Yes she could have been bigger, but that would have meant compromising not being true to herself. I'm of the belief that we do love ourselves. A person that doesn't love self would be a selfless person which means a person that lives for others. What I believe is that we don't truly think about what's best for us and make very bad choices. We get stuck in dreams and ideals that are actually self destructive. We believe that if that dream doesn't come true that we will be miserable so we don't give up on it in order to do right by ourselves and be truly happy or content. I think the music industry is a destroyer of people. It takes till there is no more then throws people out like trash. It really is no wonder that people become depressed and end up destroying themselves.
My mom use to play her songs alot when I was a kid so many great memories RIP Phyllis 😥
I INHERITED MANY OF HER ALBUMS FROM MY PARENTS IN NYC. GOOD STORY. SALUTE.🌅🇵🇷🌴🥊🕯️🍇🍞🍷
Your last sentence summed up Ms. Phyllis perfectly. Her death still saddens me 💔
PHYLLIS A LEGEND 💯📌
I remember hearing that she had passed and I instantly knew that she had committed suicide. I was only 18 but I knew that was what had happened. She was someone I idolized she was beautiful a great singer and could dress her butt off. I'm so sorry that she had to battle those demons of mental health and loneliness. Rest in power❤❤❤
i wasn't born when she passed but i miss her. I'm so glad my dad introduced me to such a beautiful soul. RIP Phyllis Hyman
That voice!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
She was so beautiful by the 80s or 2000s standards.
IM SURPRISE THIS CHANNEL HASNT DONE A VIDEO ON VESTA WILLIAMS 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
Oh wow...You really going there. She was awesome!
Love Phyllis Hyman ❤️❤️❤️ You're my favorite person for this! Another job well done.
She knew her birth chart! that’s Awesome! RIP Empress!!
What a beautiful short documentary.
She was beautiful inside and out.
And sang like a bird, just goes too show.
Love yourself and see the beauty within.
Because if you don’t , others can’t replace
That feeling rip ❤️🌹❤️
That's where people are confused at. Happiness doesn't come from people, good looks, having clothes, houses, cars, careers, a nice body, smart, none of that means anything. Happiness comes from knowing truth. And if she knew true she wouldn't trip off what the world is telling her she should have an order to be happy.... stop letting the world lie to you. Love life however its presented to you. don't look at no one else's life but your own.😇
Classic voice, u can hear all the pain in her lyrics.
This hurts my heart so bad may she live in peace as she has returned to the Essence
She was such a beautiful woman Bi polar disorder is terrible 😢
Yes, yes it is!😔
In agreement 😢
I have "You know how to love me" on my Cleaning Playlist. She sang that song so beautifully, that it brought tears to my eyes. I heard myself telling Phyllis to sing that song!!!! Being a Cancer July 9th, I could understand her being so vulnerable, emotional and in love.
Phyllis Hyman is one of the greats fa sho Great video brother 👍
Wonderful channel. Thank you. You do such a GREAT JOB!
Self Love is so essential. Many Thanks, Sister Phyllis for showing up on Earth and sharing so much Soul Music with Humanity. Soul onward... Soul's Journey still.
Keke Wyatt looks similar to Phyllis Hyman (bloodlines)
Now she is my favorite artist. So sad she didn’t know her worth. I wish she didn’t take the easy way out.
This just still breaks my heart to this day. I remember the day she passed away when my cousin's wife told us the bad news. It was the exact same way I felt the day I found out my all time favorite singer Marvin Gaye was shot & killed by his evil ass father. Phyllis was a truly beautiful woman & a humongous excellent singer. I miss her very very much. R.I.P. beautiful goddess. God Bless.
I like her other hit song as well " Ease the Pain" was very powerful vocals.
Phyllis H. also did alot of Touring with Luther Vandross. She was one of his Background Singers.
I think you are referring to Lisa Fischer not Phyllis Hyman
@@lovewynns5032 I get them two confused too lol
Ease the pain was not Phyllis that was Lisa fisher
"I'm tired.." it was more than just a man, a man would've kept her from ending things sooner and that's it.. she was simply TIRED and I cannot stress how much this is relatable.. I feel like her soul was finally at peace when she ended her life..
For some of us, being here is the torture, not our experiences or our value or anything else.. just being alive on this planet is a gotdamn drag and it's all you can do to get up every single day and it's even harder to go to bed at night..
The reality is, SOME of us don't want to be here and THAT'S OKAY.. we may not need someone to give us a pep talk, we may not need therapy to adjust our thinking.. sometimes all we need is to know that it's perfectly okay to feel how we feel, that we give ourselves the PERMISSION to feel how we feel.. the guilt at our thoughts is what actually takes us down.. the guilt of feeling these things and feeling all alone and like we can't tell anyone cuz no one will understand.. the guilt of feeling like there's something WRONG with us..
Sorry.. my thoughts, not necessarily anyone else's.. I hate it here
Mal Mack : I truely understand your statement.-.
I wished so bad, society wouldn`t look so negatively on ppl. that commit suicide. It`s mostly not a split second decision.
For some ppl. like Phyllis as well, life became unbearable And this was her way out, her way to peace.
Of course it is so sad to see it happen, but as long as the person commiting the act is convinced to do the onliest acceptable thing to do to ease the pain others have to accept this decision.
@@fredajordan5704 you really DO understand.. you know what's the only thing that keeps me here? The guilt of knowing that my kids and sister would miss me.. but that guilt is also part of what keeps me WANTING to leave.. it's such a strange cycle that I want out of but won't for the sake of others..
Anyway, thanks for listening 💕
@@Malepical Yes, if a person has family members, the thought about doing something final is more difficult to deal with. cz ppl. like us don`t want to hurt others, especially not family.
I feel exactly like you. Ppl. are so very different, they act and feel so much different about the same things happening to them...This is why no one can judge another without knowning the whole story about this person...But WHO wants to take time in the todays world to wanna get to know another person completely, most contacts are superficial and one is better of with no big circle of "friends"...
Mal, neither one of us made the choice to come into this world, so at least we should feel free to decide when to leave.
Nevertheless, I wish you strength and power to get by,, .. One day at a time, greetings fr. Germany.
you're here for a reason to speak life not death I know what you are going through . But I know God has a purpose for my life..keep holding to God unchanging hands Jesus loves you unconditionally
