    To everyone....This is what keeps me awake at night. KNOWING people (not just our own) are going through the most terrible things due to man and decisions. Please take time to reflect on the day and enjoy the sun/rain/snow whatever to get u thru. I pray for all not to go thru the struggle but it makes us who we are. I will stand for all who stand for themselves. You have an ally in GOD.

    aww man, this is how I'll always remember Ms. Phyllis Hyman. Standing tall, beautiful, and statuesque with that incredible voice. Even the whistle she does here is off the chain. Such an immense talent. I'm still heartbroken at her tragic end, but all the could'ves and would'ves won't change a thing. So, I'll continue to celebrate her life and wonderful gift. As I'm watching this, I realize that she, David Brenner, and Billy Preston (on organ) are all gone. So glad we have time capsules like these to keep their memories alive.

    The way this woman could sing! That raw emotion at the end of the song when she cries out "come back to me" reminds me of Marvin Gaye when he sang "Distant Lover".

    This is PHYLLIS HYMAN in peak form in her musical prime, full voiced, healthy gorgeous, and in complete command of the stage and her sudience. Let today's young singers study, listen and learn how it's done.

    I swear, 30 yrs. later and you can still hear her pain. Hers is so very tragic, so very sad. She was so stunning. She had such power, such control in her voice. There's been nobody like her since.

    There was such power in her voice...she could just hummmmm and it would be beautiful....What she had was a gift...Many have said it was drugs, it was this, and it was that....Well it was a whole lot of things most of all a very broken heart...I always thought she sang sad songs until I realized that she was going through hell in her life...and that came out in her music....she was baring her soul...The gift that God gave her is silent...like so many other God gifted and talented people who believe the lie....Gone too soon, not forgotten and missed by us all....

    I wanted to write a play about her. But then I realised the search for an actress/singer to play her would be impossible. Amazing, unique, unrepeatable.

      @GilesAddison A play about her would be incredible. Keke Wyatt could pull it off. Jazmine Sullivan is another fantastic vocalist who bears an uncanny resemblance to Phyllis.
