"ATTITUDES": Starring Linda Dano & Dee Kelly. 1989. In many ways, "Attitudes", a woman's talk show that aired on LIFETIME in the late 80s/early 90s, was a precursor to "The View".
Here is part 2 of an episode with guest Adrien Arpel and later Phyllis Hyman.
This episode of "Attitudes" is not complete. The interviews with both ladies are intact however. I wasn't going to post this episode since it was incomplete but this very morning I had a dream about one of Phyllis Hyman's interviews and felt she was urging me to post this from the great beyond. Anyone who knows of Phyllis Hyman must realize that she was a very strong presence and wouldn't dare to "disobey" a prompting from her even if she is no longer with us mortally.
I hope fans of both "Attitudes" and Phyllis will appreciate this lost interview. It was here that I got introduced to Phyllis and was captivated by her charisma and what appeared to be her inner strength and peace. Her energy was so infectious and from then I tracked down her music. Sadly, she would only have 5 more years left on the planet with only two more albums to release ("Prime of My Life", an ironic title, in 1991 and, at the time of her death, "I Refuse to Be Lonely" in 1995). Of course, there have been various releases of unreleased material by the record companies that are hoping to capitalize on her passing with a plethora of "tribute" albums. Where were these albums when she was alive?
In any case, enjoy the interview and those of you just learning who Phyllis is, congratulations. Here was a truly sophisticated lady!
SPECIAL NOTE After Phyllis' interview, there is an incomplete segment where Dee talks with Marian Burke, mother of Chris Burke from "Life Goes On", and Bonnie Shapiro about starting their careers while in their 40s. The segment I have here is about 3 minutes long and I apologize that this is all I have but I'm sure the completists out there would rather have part of the interview than not at all.
