The Tragic and Trival, yet Triumphant and True Tale of Phyllis Hyman (2/3) 

@Stormy D. Wow, how did you get that?!!

She really did...

Yes she did

Every thing about her was beautiful Ms. Phyllis Hyman A.K.A. The G.O.A.T. Rest In Paradise Queen.

Who does that right....in the middle of the song to improvise as such...

Well said, Michael. Perhaps she was simply TOO good, TOO honest, TOO talented, TOO loyal to her art, simply TOO BEAUTIFUL for this filthy, crappy, backstabbing business. Rest in Paradise, Beautiful Angel Phyllis.

Wow you really captured some of what I see in her.

Very good observation. And we know artist who do the same but like you pointed out they work through there's to heal. But I wonder if her disorder just wouldn't allow HER for whatever reason. I say this because everyone that spoke about talked about how matter of fact she was about doing it. It's so sad.

Yes, Michael --- incisively, lovingly, and respectfully said. We miss her.

Daniel Robinson It's so disheartening when people around you don't understand depression at all..They expect you just to snap out of it, I wish it was that easy, but it's not..I've suffered from depression my entire life I know this now, and it's getting worse the older I get..God please help me..My daughter doesn't understand my depression, but my son does because he has it too..He can take one look at me and tell when I'm suffering real bad..

@@sweetazzpiew8490 Dear God I come to you on behalf of my sister in Christ SweetAzzPie W. I asked that you please give her and her son complete deliverance from their depression, give them nothing but happiness oh God. Surround them with an good support system and use them for your glory. Let their deliverance of depression be used as their testimony to help others that are dealing with this horrible disease also please send them also the professional help that you have for them. I decree and declare it is so in Jesus name,amen. God bless you!!!

Wow

You're absolutely correct. People don't understand this. Thank you, it's very serious..

xaniiu True she haven't never stop singing even though she had went through. I had went to her concert before so I seen her actual real emotional during the song I didn't understand at the time until my mother explain to me .

Missy Rogers yes she is

Missy Rogers you are absolutely right!! I was devastated when she died. Love Phyllis and Angela Bofill. It's almost painful to hear her sing.😭

Renee Taylor 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Ditto...😊😊

Totally agree with you sista. Her and Angela B Angela Winbush Minnie Ripperton Mary Davis sos band Deniece williams teena marie sade... These r my girls

Glenda Fitzpatrick but there is no one that talented too bee Credible

Agree. She was the one that got away - the industry took her for granted, and didn't give her the support she needed. Tragic.

@@keithgilliard9191 I concur

write2ap This is and was a great lost to the music industry u speak of mariah beyonce and linda jones there great female vocalist but this one phyllis hymanwas unordinary and extremely exceptional certainly one of the best of all times wow i am atlost for words what more can i say about this pretty woman from Philly such a lovely voice RIP Phyllis i will never forget you i will play your music to i meet you in HEAVEN bye Jerome mcpherson

So much hurt inside❤️

probably didnt like the way meds made her feel takes time but u can find which one works its possible what a voice

Who had designed her clothes.

Mo'net LaSha u matter. Jesus loves you

If you need love, real love let God minister His love. I did not feel suicidal, but was very alone in this world, weary worn and sad. But I had a private talk with the God who cares. He said come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me (Matthew 11 28-30). So I did and then accepted the finished work of Jesus and told Him to come in my life and help me. He did, showed me His Word and the walked with me through John chapter 15, 16, and 17. After that I know a love greater than mom, dad or any man. I love God, I love me and that was over 30 years ago that we have walked together. He was with thru the good and bad, hard times, all of it. He’s Good.

Mo'net LaSha I feel your pain. Nobody can understand

Stay strong 💪🏾 you are love it hurts though.

Give your worries the the MOST HIGH

It does it ages like wine wisely

If you hear me try to whistle, you dial the feds. What a stunning whistle she had done

Peaches Montana Yes she was

I agree beyonce can't touch or come close to Phyllis Hyman

+Barbie Skinner ditto. absolute truth.

Not at all. She's one of a kind!

Audrey Thomas 💯💯💯

Beyonce is overrated.

+Michael Garel Well like Chaka Khan said about todays artist Less talented

You got that right rip real soul ,artists rip soul music.

Phyllis Hyman is a natural singer . She can sing on the chair where she sits and sound like she was playing her own CD that's hard .This lady didn't get any credit for her talents when she was alive.Thank you God for giving us Phillis Hyman 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤

The two ladies SHOULD never be spoken in the same sentence!

She wouldn't have, as those with refined minds dont indulge into slaying others UNGRACE fully

+michael morgan WHAT KIND OF PERSON WAS SHE?

+larry brown She was quite but she could be mean.She was very tall I am 511 she was much taller than I .

I envy your experience.

Well 80s artist just hung out like that

michael morgan, she was mean to those who came at her the wrong way. She was not to be played with.

Flynn Taylor She was real and also I like that she said she don't have a husband and no kids. I was glade to met her when I was a teenager at the age of 16 and 19 years old in the mid 80s and early 90s before death.

Damien Hargrove she does! I say the same thing to myself

Yes she most definitely favors her within her eyes and face a lot

BROTHER DEE TV I was thinking Kiki Wyatt

It is YOU

Remember Michael, Beyonce did it with her family there backing her.while Phyills done it with no one there to stand beside her.That's really sad.

@@anderadunkley7179 LIKE ME AN ISLAND ON MY OWN

My God the price a person give for success. Death my Lord, its so true that what is it for a man / woman to give up there life and lose your Soul. She said it best when she wanted to do it her way .Where your word is your bond. Its a different world. Sad to say. We are living in it.

virgolady850 Phyllis Hyman been singing way before Beyonce and yes Phyllis Hyman had went through a lot and she sing through her emotions she also sing even though she went through a lot

virgolady850 AAAMEN TRUTH!!! PHYLLIS SO SO BEAUTIFUL AND HER PASSION. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭👸🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭

@@lifeofneacy3891 Amen sister Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

+Dionne who U telling same here. It's weird and she looks like my aunt and a combination of my personally.

Dionne L my dear sister and sisters there are two many that hurt from what they feel that they love, and they sometimes miss the ones that do really love them. The love that most are looking for is right there inside of them, know that and you will know the man that has that same love for you. Just saying mean no harm.

Dionne L Everyone says the same thing that my younger sister looks just like her and I wish that they can play her biolography movie play as her.

monsieur305 Yes she touched me with that also

monsieur305 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
