In A Sentimental Mood - Phyllis Hyman 

She was such a stunning woman and her voice makes you want to scream!!! Just awesome

OMG!!! She had the type of voice that would stop you in your tracks, and just stare at her with speechless amazement. AND she is absolutely gorgeous!!!

She put everything she had into her performances. Such a beautiful, passionate and extremely talented woman.

Gosh, she is just beautiful beyond words. Definitely a Diva AND Legend.

I love this. Phyllis was a treasure.

I had the privilege to 'open' for her back in the 80's. She was very beautiful and talented

Wow! I see why Phyllis defied Clive Davis and did Sophisticated Ladies. She's in her element singing songs from a bygone era. I'm hearing the jazz greats of yesteryears but really hearing my all time favorite Sarah Vaughn. This ain't no damn pop. We were blessed that she stubbornly chose to show us the authentic Phyllis Hyman.

Who could of gave this a dislike ??? Tremendously talented and gone too soon

She is equally as stunning as that voice of hers. I love her so much!

Phyllis at the PINNACLE of voice and looks. Queeeeen!!!

She should have gotten a Tony Award just for this version of the song.

Everything about Phyllis is breathtaking. Her voice, her looks. Thank you so much for uploading.

My pre-teen crush. All my buddies had a crush on Pam Grier(I did too), but my favorites were Phyllis Hyman and Millie Jackson. Ms. Hyman had so much talent, beauty, and class.

She was so beautiful. And she sung beautiful. Who could not want to love her. She will surely be missed

She was such a beautiful person .................. Depression sucks and it wins way too much. For all of us fighting it - we have to keep fighting it with all we have - ask for love, support or whatever you have to keep above the water. It is a battle you will never understand unless you suffer from it, and it can take you down for weeks at a time. To those that are fighting this battle, I send you POWER with LOVE! ..........RIP P.H. You are so missed....................singing in the heavens with my mother...............................

She was my favorite female singer of all times RIP BEAUTIFUL STAR

She was a great jazz singer and Nancy Wilson loved the magic that they did they don't sing like that no more

Ran across this on instagram today. Wow! I'm absolutely blown away. I am a fan of several current artists. And no one could ever take their talents, nor what they've contributed to music, away from them. But this is high level artistry. Something that so many artists' lack today. Wow. What a voice. I'm absolutely blown away. Let me go do some research on Mrs. Hyman real quick.

What can you say after a performance like that?? WOW!!

A True Lady!! She wasn't better known because she refused to cheapen herself. Integrity and beauty and talent.

This is an incredible performance I would have loved to see in person. The ending when she uses her deep register is magnificent !!!

OMG, her pain is palpable. Already her demons of alcohol, drugs, food, and men were beginning to devour her. Rest in peace, my sweet angel.

Class personified!

I can't sleep, so much anxiety so much to absorb.A good friend betrayed me and so how I found myself on this channel.Omg I miss this voice this woman and her legendary style.R.I.P

I have watched this so many many times and become more intrigued!!! This lady has a aura like no other!! She was just phenomenal!!! This loss was just indescribable!!

Yes, and notice how she's always aware of the LYRIC. When she improvises, it is very tasteful and with a purpose. She continues to tell the story without filling up space with predictable riffs just for the sake of riffing. OH, and I almost forgot the gorgeous tone and use of dynamics..

Yes Phyllis sing it!

A total class act in every sense of the word class. She was just a treat to hear and watch. Seeing her live was like magic.

I've watched this time and time again...she had a voice like nothing I've ever heard. Never will be another Phyllis!

An absolutely powerful performance. She sang this classic song to perfection. She had beauty, exceptional talent, God given vocal chords and sang every song with heartfelt passion Her special talent left us way too early but she did leave wonderful music that will live on.

💯🦄🔥🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️ one of the most phenomenal voices on the planet even Clive Barker try to control her 💯🦄🔥🌹❤️💯 and since he couldn't he didn't even want her to do this play he said we will ruin her career, so he picked up somebody else who would listen and who was he hungry and Young that was Whitney Houston check it out 💯❗ no one sounded like Phyllis Hyman no one emoted the way she mold how words and voice to your soul 💯❗🙏 I have the privilege of meeting her and getting a hug from her I'll always remember she pretended she was scared to meet me cuz she saw me shaking to see her and I had no idea she was going to put her arms around me miss her but her legacy and her music still plays in my house 💯🦄🌹❤️💯❗🙏

She had real jazz chops....great vocal phrasing....what an instrument...very rare.....

No other voice like hers and never will be! Songstress who grace us with their vocal instruments are treasures! Respectfully today there are a innumerable "artists" and a limited number of bonafide singers.

What a delightful treat! She was so beloved. I enjoyed her at DC's Blues Alley and the annual Jackie Robinson Jazz festival. She is truly missed and, simply, a Class Act!

Phyllis is a CERTIFIED LEGEND 💯🔥💯🔥

Just fell in love with this woman all over again....what a fantastic vid thanks...LOVE IT!

OMG!!!! Now that was "the voice" !!!!! Jeezus

What an outstanding performance. Such a beautiful talent gone way too soon! RIP Phyllis!

I just keep listening and it breaks my heart everytime, knowing about her.

Her voice was just phenomenal!

stunning gut wrenching delivery

Wow! She was SO beautiful AND talented! May she rest in peace.

I'm honored to have witnessed this !! Thank you so much!!..She is still a gift to us !!! Master class of the highest level !!!!!

This is only woman in the world for me... I even prayed for her to be my wife..and to have our beautiful children with. but hey! it was not to be.. I was only 16 give me a break..but now I'm 46 and I am still in love with you Miss Phyllis Hyman...AS the Late great Luther Vandross once said...Forever, for Always, for Love..

We all still love her so much; if only one of us had been able to deliver her from her pain.

Such a beautiful song, such a classy lady, and such a wonderful arrangement! I miss Phyllis Hyman more than I can express. There is none like her.

2017 and this is still one of my favorite renditions of this song. Truly a timeless treasure. This performance takes me to another tie and place. Still miss you, Phyllis!

SUPERB !!!! EXCELLENCE IN PERFECTION!!! Ms Hymen was phenomenal

What a talent! The world lost a treasure when she passed.

She is beyond the best... that first note always gives me chills

saw her sing this in Sophisticated Ladies on Broadway... she was truly one of a kind...

Breath taking voice. Full of intense emotions. Love this. So beautiful.

Broadway "Organic Real Jazz" of surrealistic proficiency and magnitude is in the heart and on the lips of Her Majesty Ms. Hyman. I adore and admire her individualized interpretation of this perennial ballad; I know you do too. It looks like only yesterday at the Beacon Theatre in New York, New York that I experienced her vocally anointing me back to an evening of euphoric ecstasy when my innermost light was very low. What a talented chanteuse! What a premature loss! PH:RIP!

Ms. Phyllis was such a songstress. She made it seem effortless.

Phyllis was everything. It's as if this song was MADE, waiting for her voice to come along.

Once in a lifetime phrasing and interpretive gifts that cannot be learned only acted on by the very few who are born with them. Tragically she could not get beyond her sadness. At peace with our creator now. Sing with the Angels sweet beautiful lady. We will always remember you.

Lady Phyllis is my favorite female artist. I feel every song she sings. I understand how lonely is was. Im the same way. I wish she could have found true love she would still be here with us. She is missed......... I love you girl..........

So beautiful.......god I miss her

PHYLLIS HYMAN!!!!! NUFF SAID!!!!

She makes it apparently so easy but behind this fantastic performance are a lot of talent and work, work and..much work. Brava!

YES PHYLLIS @ 1:56

Such a beautiful G!ddess! She repped for us statuesque ladies.

I came to this video by chance after having this piece stuck in my head for a couple of days. Finally searched up other artists I haven't heard of before and here I am. Glad to have seen this for sure!

I've never heard this Lady sing before!..........how sad is that? Absolutely wonderful, what a voice. I'm hooked now. I got to this video as I'm trying to learn the tune on the Piano. I'm definitely going to crack this one now, lovely melody beautifully performed by Phyllis Hyman Thanks for posting this.

If she made a Jazz Album Im Sure she would have got a grammy

3:07 My jaw dropped!

OMG! pure talent and beauty

The greatest of her generation, and "one" of the best in history.

what a beauty

Lord knows I miss this woman such an amazing talent. Rest in power sister. ✊🏾

I will forever miss you Phyllis Hyman. I wish you knew how much we loved you. Forever in my heart.......

This was the first Broadway show I had ever seen and her performance still takes a huge place in my memory bank. I remember how in awe I was of her naturalness, her beauty, her flow, her Her!!!!!!!!!

It's a ashame that she is gone. She was so beautiful!

July 6: Happy birthday Singer Phyllis Hyman (1949-1995) Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, Rmasai. RIP, Songbird. Blessings

if only they had youtube when i was a kid i would bask in all this, she was so pretty and talented, she leaves parts off her soul on stage

A celebratory song, but she somehow makes it aching and pained toward the end. So real and arresting

When we lose the great ones, we are left with what we are left with....

This woman CAPTURES every intense emotion of love and passion as she sings...Phyllis (I call Lady Phyl affectionately) had it going on even with her own personal challenges...she would have turned 60 this year and she is GREATLY missed...thanks for sharing this clip.

I love ❤️ this song 🎵 that's what I'm talking about plyisis Hyman sang this song with every thing she had they don't sing like that nomore

MUSIC ROYALTY AND JUST TO PROVE HOW GOOD SHE REALLY IS. SHE DID IT LIVE .

Im In love with her voice

I wish that she would had done more musicals,I could had seen her doing a musical built around her.

Smoothe, beautiful, Ms.Hyman... nobody will ever do it like you did it.....chills down my spine.

love that trombone- finish- nice interpretation of that song.

A great talent!

Phyllis sang this the best. She sings with lots of feeling.

She was a real artist. No performer today, no white, no black, no nothing can compare or open themselves up the way she did.

Just stunning!

Her face at the end was heaven sent"

Phyllis was sooooooooooooooooo smooth....a superb talent,

@dtrim84 You are right "VERY FEW COULD GO WITH HER VOCALLY." Her voice is so dark, rich and smooth. She's one of those singers that you will never get tired of listening too. You can get you a cup of coffee (or wine) and put Phyllis on and just sit back, relax, breath, think happy thoughts. There are soulful singers out there but none compare. GONE TOO SOON.

YOU GO PHYLLIS!!!

I have been a fan of Phyllis Hyman's for most of my Adult life. Candles, A glass of wine, and Phyllis playing in the back ground, this Diva can set a mood like no one else. I was introduced to her by someone I hold very dear in my memories and I cherish them both.

Queen Phyllis 👑

A Real real singer!!!

Truly, one of a kind :(

As I watch Miss Hyman sing.. I am reminded of the time when "great singers" truly felt the words they sang. Go back and look at some of the best female singers and you will see just what TALENT! is. Billie,Sarah,Ella.. The look of pain and joy on their faces. They were will to open wounds and their hearts to give you a glimpse of themselves. I have everything this great lady sang.. and I will cherish her, for allowing us see who she was through her music.

Thank you so much for posting!!!! A passionate voice like no other.

LOVE HER MUSIC

Thank you so much I miss her so much. What a great loss.
