I love how she asked Spike for one thing and he came back with not only what she wanted but an actual cameo in the film. u take one step; GOD takes two for sure
I think 1:51 is arguably the funniest part of this particular segment. Phyllis was not only beautiful and talented, but she also had a great sense of humor. R.I.P. Phyllis, You forever loved and missed.
Great and Huge love for Ms. Phyllis Hyman. I have always been a fan. She will be not only forever missed, but remembered forever. New Orleans, Louisiana.
I remember when Phyllis sang at Livingstone College in the early 80s. Some of my girlfriend's hood-rat friends saw Phyllis at the local Kroger grocery store after the show. The next day, they told everybody that she was snobbish and stuck up. We didn't find out until after her death, that she suffered from bipolarism and depression. May she rest in peace.
Hell I love me some PH songs, and in my opinion she is the greatest female vocalist ever; but what do an angel sound like? I hear that all the time, but nobody can explain it; especially when angels are not in tune with Nature.
I love it when Black reporters interview black musicians. You can just see how their chemistry clicked. I love Phillis. She was wise, real, and thoughtful. She was dealing with a lot of pressure and had a drug problem. She had several overdose attempts and the last time was successful. I hope she is at peace and doing what she loves to do ... perform and write music.
The queen when I tell you the first time I seen her was in School Daze ,and I fell in love with her , ever since. I’m not going to go into why she doesn’t have movies or documentaries or Why she receives no homage. so I will do it Clyve Davis you have so much karma coming any way. her voice was a silk musk on a summer day smooth as cream. her beauty was sublime before Whitney there was Phyllis Hyman. listen to somewhere in my lifetime , living all alone , be one , old friends her delivery and pain in her songs is tangible. this woman is the vocal bible she was touched by god. I do not get chills from the new R&b girls. Phyllis have me chills and still somewhere in my lifetime that long run at the end 😪.I have no words I wish she could have received her flowers so here Phyllis we love you rest up queen. 👑 🌹🌸💐🌺🌷🥀 those who truly know good music will never and will not forget you with that voice how could we she was the voice. Her Florence Ballard snd Angela bofill will always live thru me this industry depleted so many of are artist it’s sad.
😍 This is the *BEAUTIFUL BLACKNESS* I miss seeing in our artists. From Spike in 🎞 to Phyllis in 🎶, watching shows like this as a kid made me proud to be Black!!! My people were so FLY and TALENTED with so much STYLE...CLASSY, INTELLIGENT and REPRESENTED WELL to inspire our community. This is *MY CULTURE!* 🥰 I’m not with the thug, ratchet representation displayed today. Some black folks have really fallen off.
That's right as a black male born and raised in the 90s growing as a teenager in the early 2000s our people always had class i seen our people representing pure culture but as a young adult it's a lil hard for me to spread my wings and bring that back because of the legacy of brainwashed black folks nowadays it's all about an image that looks stereotyped and no good examples of whatsoever all we see is unnatural more like artificial looks and what's worst is that nowadays other cultures are proudly taking our styles and are making themselves look like they own it fr fr but i do see that the majority of our people are tryna take back the inherentance of what was given to us the only problem is that it's not being accepted so easily as it once was back in the days but it's coming back slowly but surely are rising back up we just need to embrace it more real rap Asé
@@CodyCole80 yes because back then our culture represented true strength and coming up as a child i always wondered what it would be like if we continued to represent who we really are but along the way we got sidetracked nowadays everybody in my generation that are black are always wanting the best sides of both world and are allowing them to take credit for what we stand for and don't stand for SMH that's whywe gotta get back to our roots not only wear the clothes of our ancestors but live it and come together in unity as well fr fr Asé
The other dynamic performance in that movie was done by the girl group which featured Tisha Campbell as the lead singer and Jasmine Guy as one of the background singers. I thought that song should have been released as a single because it was a hit. The choreography was on point also. That was Tisha's, Jasmine's, the late Bill Nunn, Samuel L Jackson's, and Branford Marsalis' first movie. And before I forget in the Phyllis Hyman clip I listed above that is Spike's dad on bass. Here's the Tisha link: th-cam.com/video/yJOsjlXXfVo/w-d-xo.html
Phyllis is absolutely right âboutt not liking to be in front of the camera; I once saw her on the Rutgers University campus after a concert and she did not let me take her photo; I totalky understood bcuz she had taken off her fabulous outfit and hat and put on câsual clothing and removed her makeup; thank you, Casandra Mills for dressing this beautiful goddess ( her fashion designer); you are FOREVER LOVED AND MISSED, GREAT JAZZ EMPRESS!!❤ REST IN PEACE!!❤
This white middle-aged redheaded gay Englishman absolutely adores/d Ms. Hyman. Her album with Mtume was a real masterpiece, but you can SO hear the sadness in her voice coming through with such heartbreaking beauty, very much like Ms. Holiday and Ms Winehouse. Just like the two latter geniuses, she took HERSELF from this world, leaving us with such charm, whit, intelligence, beauty, talent, hurt.. I totally agree with her philosophy re Black culture. But Black culture MUST wake up from the chips on its shoulders. GET EDUCATED GET REAL IF YOU (Black men) HAVE A CHILD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT, IF YOU WANT A "GANGSTER LIFE" EXPECT A GANGSTERS DEMISE. YES, SLAVERY WAS AWFUL, BUT AFRICAN SLAVERY OF OTHER AFRICANS IS HOW IT STARTED.
I love how she asked Spike for one thing and he came back with not only what she wanted but an actual cameo in the film. u take one step; GOD takes two for sure
I get so upset that she didn’t feel as stunningly beautiful as she was, my goodness. 😩🥺 rest easy. ❤️🔥
Just so gorgeous , eloquently spoken . Shes oozing class and glamour! I could watch/listen to Phyllis all damn day!
I just love her voice. What a soulful and amazing talent she was.
She is sorely missed. Rest Well Diva Phyllis.
She was so dreamy eyed 😍
Wow, she's gorgeous! Stunning!

Hello my lady, new Orleans in here.
Phyllis was so beautiful and radiant. I mean really, just absolutely gorgeous!
I remember when Phyllis sang at Livingstone College in the early 80s. Some of my girlfriend's hood-rat friends saw Phyllis at the local Kroger grocery store after the show. The next day, they told everybody that she was snobbish and stuck up. We didn't find out until after her death, that she suffered from bipolarism and depression. May she rest in peace.
Ms. Phyllis...missed so very much...every day.
Every time I see video of her, even now, my heart hurts that she left us so soon.
man phyliss look so great and a very classy lady
We STILL MISS YOU!!! #❤
Wow, she is so beautiful
A true Classy Lady with a Angelic Voice and exceptional Poise A Widely missed "PoisedGem"
Hell I love me some PH songs, and in my opinion she is the greatest female vocalist ever; but what do an angel sound like? I hear that all the time, but nobody can explain it; especially when angels are not in tune with Nature.
Spike showcased her SO well !!!!! The contrast of elegance and swim ware.....so Spike!!!

I honestly have to say. This woman blessed my eyes with her beauty! 😍 RIP angel I know she found peace in the Heaven 🙏🏽❣️
I put Phyliss Hyman right there with Anita Baker and Patty Labell. Theyre class and grace is unmatched

There are many who feel this exact way but “the world” does not want to see blacks portrayed in this glory. This beauty is who we are. Period

Good to know a young brotha such as yourself is trying to bring back our true culture.
Peace and Blessings!

I didn't know she was in School Daze😳. I never watched it though.
RIP
She sounds like the lead muse from Hercules (1997)
Why is she gone? loved her voice.
She committed suicide....(so they say)
It hurt so bad when she left us.
She looks like lala anthony here or vice versa because she’s older ofc lol ❤️
Lies.
I don't remember her acting in School Daze at all!
What a loss

I totally agree with her philosophy re Black culture. But Black culture MUST wake up from the chips on its shoulders. GET EDUCATED GET REAL IF YOU (Black men) HAVE A CHILD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT, IF YOU WANT A "GANGSTER LIFE" EXPECT A GANGSTERS DEMISE. YES, SLAVERY WAS AWFUL, BUT AFRICAN SLAVERY OF OTHER AFRICANS IS HOW IT STARTED.
African Hamites sold/enslaved Israelites that were in their land. There’s a difference.
And it was continued by yt people for 400 years
Most black men take care of their children.
