    Phyllis Hyman suffered from bi-polar disorder.. She recorded many songs about loneliness and pain. Sadly, she took her own life in 1995.
    She was an exceptionally beautiful and talented woman.

    Please feature more of the Queen Phyllis Hyman on your channel. She is one of my favorite singers, and I used to go to see her every time she came to NYC. I’ve seen her sing this song live, and she would do the whistling you hear on stage. I was heartbroken when I heard she took her life. RIP Queen. 😢😢😢😢

    I have been requesting Phyllis Hyman ever since I started as a subscriber. Phyllis was one of the greatest vocalists ever in music. Her primary genres were jazz and r&b. Amber, you hit the nail on the head with your description of the depths of her voice. Jay, when you said that it was haunting, you had no idea that you perfectly described her. My favorite song from Phyllis is Remember Who You Are. Most don't know this, but before Whitney Houston, Phyllis was going to be the big star for Arista Records. She refused to change her style to being pop oriented, so they went to Whitney, and she said yes. I was totally devastated when Phyllis took her own life. They announced it on the jazz station in New York at the time. The station was CD 101.9, and it was one of the best stations in the country. They played a ton of Phyllis. Please do much more. One of the greatest voices that I've ever known. RIP beautiful queen. You are deeply deeply missed.

    She was a beautiful woman who suffered from Bi-polar disorder. This song talks about the loneliness she felt not having a significant other or children. As great as she was, she never knew her true worth. She committed suicide in 1995. Your fans still love you Phyllis. SIP❤ ❤❤.

    This was a great album from 1986 included a wonderful cover of "What You Won't Do for Love", and the song "Old Friend" which for whatever reason was the song ending as you started this video. Phyllis also covered 'Betcha By Golly Wow" 1976, which you have already heard 2 versions of. She appeared in Duke Ellingtons Sophisticated Ladies on Broadway , check out In A Sentimental Mood and It Don't Mean a Thing.

    Phyllis Hyman was a true diva in the best sense of the word. Living All Alone tears my heart out every time I hear it. Not just because it’s sung with such heart wrenching perfection, but because it reminds me that we lost her way too soon. On the other end of the spectrum, “You Know How to Love Me” is sheer joy! Be sure to play it sooner, rather than later.

  • @jeffreyharvey9919
    @jeffreyharvey9919 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +35

    Someone else mentioned this and I agree that the next Phyllis Hyman song you need to listen to is You Know How to Love Me. I could listen to it it daily. Please don’t save it for a female Friday. We need it sooner. Phyllis’s life ended tragically - she suffered from depression and bipolar disorder and committed suicide in 1995. She was amazing and such a memorable voice.

    This video started out with Phyllis singing the tail end of her song, "Old Friend," which is my all time favorite of hers. I would recommend hearing that one on its own from the beginning. I saw her perform in a smaller club in Redondo Beach, in a very intimate setting. She was so powerfully moving. It was so sad when she passed away. I'm glad we still have her beautiful voice to cherish.

    You know how to love me
    the answer is you
    old friend
    living all alone
    somewhere in my lifetime

    Omg. I’m so happy y’all finally did some Phyllis Hyman. She often performed here in DC at Blues Alley. Please consider doing her song “Your Move, My Heart”.

    I've been pushing Phyllis on y'all for years. Glad to see her on your channel. More Phyllis! React to "Somewhere in my Lifetime".

    "Who will end all those long and *loooonely* nights!" You can tell she felt what she sung, especially if you know a little of her story. Not only did she have the voice but the emotions to convey them.

    Phyllis Hyman is still one of my favorite singers bc of her jazz infused R&B music. She had a truly unique and beautiful voice. She recorded some of the most beautiful ballads I'd ever heard. Her and Norman Connors remake of Betcha By Golly Wow (The Stylistics) is considered one of the best remakes of that song. You Know How To Love Me, Dont Wanna Change The World, and Under Your Spell are great dance songs. Can't We Fall In Love Again ( a duet with Michael Henderson) and Meet Me On The Moon are great ballads. She was also in the movie School Daze and did at least one Breadway musical. Sadly, she took her own life in 1995.

    I cried for a week when Phyllis took her life in 1995. Huge fan. Now that you've discovered Phyllis, please do some Marlena Shaw, who passed last week at the age of 81. I adored her. You will too. Try "You-Ma Go Away Little Boy" for starters.

    She is so deeply missed!! While you could call her tragic, the legacy of her music will live on! A couple of her hits to hear, "You Know How to Love Me' and "The Answer is You".

    Phyllis’ style of singing covers the genres of R&B, soul, vocal Jazz and disco (but not all in one song).

    Wow you actually got to an artist I requested. Phyliss is my favorite female artist, as far as I am concern outside of Patti, Aretha and Barbara S. the depth of her singing is unmatched. Now I have been telling you for months you need a reaction. She has a very deep catalog you need to explore. Here is "You know how to love Me" Jay will like this up tempo, it was a #1 hit for her. Most of her catalog is for Amber. The sensual depth of her voice is what I fell in love with. You can tell Amber is a Hopeless Romantic Phyliss is her wheel house. My favorite is "Meet Me on the Moon" , "As You Are" a written by Pharel Sanders and "The Answer is You"

    There is no shortage of female singers who can lay their heart on the table, but when you list them, Phyllis has to be very near the top.

      @seanswinton6242 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      I agree. Sadly, outside of the R&B, Adult Contemporary, and Quiet Storm formats, Phyllis Hyman wasn't recognized. Unfortunately, she was at Arista Records. That label's calling card under Clive Davis was female vocalists and Soft Rock. Phyllis Hyman got lost in the pack, especially with the arrival of Whitney Houston, Taylor Dane, the arrival of Carly Simon groups like Expose, Phyllis Hyman wasn't given priority. That led to her underperforming record sales, her depression and breakdown.

    I saw her concert once, and she was amazing. Currently, there's a play at the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago based on her life called "Living All Alone". There are several recommendations for the next song, so I want repeat. But I do recommend Angela Bofill and the song is "Next Time I'll Be Sweeter. They were out at the same time (telling my age).
