"I Got It Bad" & "Mood Indigo" - Phyllis Hyman and Terri Klausner

[@tianrichards]

They said it best when they said she sing like she has a “tear in her voice”. Each word dripping with feeling&emotion. Pain and euphoria wrapped into one. Forever our sophisticated lady.

[@butchiej404]

I heard Terri Klausner sing in Duke Ellington's 'Sophisticated Ladied' in Los Angeles at the Shubert Theatre in 1982. Her voice brought me out of my chair, a truly wonderful visceral experience!

[@cocolucky1988]

She was so beautiful, full figure, dress her ass off, and can belt out some ranges. She was hands down my favorite singer.

[@johncunningham1797]

AMEN!!

[@paulgrooms3911]

Ms. Phyllis Hyman always was a legend and always will be a legend. She will never be forgotten no matter how many years go by. MY MY MY what a Beautiful Classical Voice. I'm so glad that modern technology has her Voice today on CDS and DVDS.

[@way2real364]

It makes absolutely NO sense how beautiful this woman was... GEEZ! And her voice, STILL unmatched.

[@theronedawson3236]

U hope someone will do a life time movie on Phyllis Hyman. She was something else.

[@NixxSkii]

Phyllis Hyman put her foot and six others in that. WOW!!!!

[@jclark21218]

I wish Phyllis Hyman's version of I Got It Bad made its way to her catalogue. sigh.

[@thebookof2ndIsaiah]

I still have yet to find any other singer who has moved me quite as deeply. And her tone!! The greatest I've ever heard..It was silver, gold, platinum, diamonds, and pearls!!!!

[@darrenandbutterfly]

Both of their voices complemented the HELL outta this song!!!Wonderful duet; BEAUTIFUL HARMONY...NO ONE CAN BEAT PHYLLIS!!

[@neebaby3]

I wasn't the only one who teared up on Phyllis Hyman. She is such a powerful singer!

[@dorothythomas4363]

[@AbundantlyAnnie]

"The things I tell my pillow, no woman should"...those one on one conversations be heavy, to say the least.

[@lamaralusibrahim8099]

Happy Heavenly 76th Birthday Phyllis Hyman

[@obioraaa1]

That turn at 1:56 knocks me out

[@mr.campbell1584]

Obi Asiama me and you both

[@TheFlameking81]

Yes ma'am. On point.

[@stewartduane]

Be still my beating heart. I love the late great Phyllis Hyman. And Terri made this so perfectly complete. Now i want to see what else Terri has done.

[@Bl6ckWom6n]

Wow tears....litterally! That was phenonmenal!

[@Ettenyl56jioni]

Oh my gosh! That was just perfection. What else can be said?

[@reoscorpio]

Phyllis ... Lord have mercy Phyllis.. they don't make them like her anymore ..

[@stewartduane]

She is tall...!! Like a tree, sing tree sing! Lovely

[@BronxBob]

Goosebumps.

[@Anna-nc8de]

SHE is was Magnificent here..

[@aaronpatrickmusic]

Amazing! 4:30 on gave me chills!

[@keepthemusicplaying0]

Stunning performances !!!

[@axeboardwilliesbassessoasis.]

So Beautiful.

[@sfbull39]

So talented. And so beautiful.

[@Lo_renz_Davis_]

If you are a singer ,sing an F4 at 4:52 and it sound so good as a harmony

[@MaxcineRobinson-f2p]

Ol girl was aight but couldn't touch or come close to Ms. Hyman REST you're with the one who loves you😇💔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@terrellgrant1570]

The pain

[@halaluani]

@buddyjb5 You are mistaken. She sings throughout the world and has done 2 long-running Broadway shows in the past several years (remember, these performers do 8 shows a week often for years). She performs in concert regularly throughout the US and Europe, performs regularly at the top jazz clubs in NY and London, appeared in concert at Carnegie Hall, & won an Obie. This is the top in the genres of music she does. It's a different world from the one to which you appear accustomed.

[@Khismet1]

goosebumps! beyond words!

[@sheilakay4813]

I love Phyllis in this! The other lady shouldn't even be on the same stage.....ijs

[@anglejohnson3857]

for real

[@prophetchristophermouningm7364]

Sheila Blackwell Absolutely

[@1517528]

I totally agree,who’s not great idea was to pair this lady with Phyllis???????

[@jclark21218]

Terri blowing up there tho! :)

[@deeknits]

@@jclark21218 Right!!! She was hella good too. And can we take a min to appreciate their two completely different voice types blending so seamlessly at the end?

[@WarriorSmurf]

I totally agree. No question.

[@flubsey70]

Wow

[@DADIVAH]

How LOVELY!!! Meisha

[@handsomebig2000]

you can find this play on amazon

[@zsoltbajusz4479]

BRAVOOOO

[@emakulat]

yes!!Yes!!Yeeesss!!

[@SereneTing]

Love Phyllis already, but I think Terri just got a new fan

[@princessmeisha94]

She really should’ve pursued theatre more. She was a natural. Especially, after reading Strength of a Woman: the Phyllis Hyman Story. It explains that she had no prior experience and was sort of the odd ball amongst her cast mates. She didn’t even know what stage left meant at first. But watch her perform, you can’t even tell.

[@DeeLow04]

EVER!

[@kingpleasure]

Excuse my being technical but even though an indigo moon would be wild to see, Ellington titled the song Mood Indigo. Beautiful song and fantastic interpretation of it here. They are both great so thanks for uploading it. What a voice Phyllis had, wow!! (Maybe you could fix the typo sometime).

[@ricardojazo2519]

ES INNEGABLE, QUÉ EN EL JAZZ Y EL BLUES, SE ENCUENTRAN CONSAGRADAS INTÉRPRETES COMO: SARA VAUGHN, ELLA FITZGERALD, BILLIE HOLYDAY. SIN EMBARGO ESTA SEÑORA, CREO QUE YA ESTA JUNTO CON ELLAS EN EL OLYMPO MUSICAL, ME REFIERO A PHYLLIS HYMAN

[@Rmasai]

Thanks for the spell check....

[@Rmasai]

Thanks for the spell check, correction done.

[@bsbanks]

Phyllis blew away poor Terri in the performance

[@halaluani]

@buddyjb5 Oh Buddy, pay attention.I didn't say Reuben outsold Clay.The point is these guys were big finishers on AI and still sell today despite their looks. The majority of today's stars who are there because of their looks, will not even be thought about as soon as their looks are gone.But people with talent are still singing even after 60 to full capacity crowds (Streisand, Patti LaBelle, Tina Turner, etc). Susan Boyle finished 2009 as No1 on Billboard 100 despite her looks.

[@thecidneyg]

white girl has a strong voice too.unique

[@awwyeahme2]

@neebaby3 me 2... she looks in the camera at one point....

[@halaluani]

The last name is Klausner, not Kalausner.

[@crazyoldbastard]

how about correcting the spelling of Terri Klausner's name GREAT VIDEO two wonderful voices

[@Pretty_Mess]

I’m sorry but as someone who has never heard these songs before, I could barely make out what the second lady was saying. She has a beautiful voice though.

[@yvetteblalock]

@getmegot18 i feel u on both comments! :)

[@khamikins]

lol GIh dem!!!

[@halaluani]

@buddyjb5 It's not about fairness, it's about relevance. Comments like this are why producers keep giving us "artists" who can't sing but are eye candy. Please don't insult artists and women with comments about looks and please don't contribute to bringing more terrible singers into the world because they're "hot".

[@nancynorth8218]

[@Jae-pe2xh]

Here is why I "HATE" this performance. For some reason, i was thinking about the song Mood Indigo, and then I was thinking about how I Phyllis Hymns voice would match that song perfectly, so i thought, out of all the jazz songs she must have sung it. I finally found this video with her name and that song but someone else is singing it😢

[@halaluani]

@buddyjb5 Hot singers don't sell for long. But good singers will sell for 40+ years. I'm a great singer -and I'm not hot or young. While I'm not a superstar, I've made a very good living from music. But you see, I sing for people who know music, not the general public. Jazz lovers would never choose a singer by her or his beauty. They know & appreciate music too much for that. I still disagree with you. Reuben Studdard won American Idol. Was he chosen because of his looks? Obviously not.

[@halaluani]

@buddyjb5 You're out of touch. Clay sells very well. But Reuben does, too, on the R&B charts. Bottom line -- yes, talent WILL prevail.

[@tianrichards]

The other lady just ruined it for me. She could have kept alllll that and just let it be Phyllis’. No need to even try and follow it.

[@halaluani]

@buddyjb5 BTW, the other singer here is highly successful both in jazz, on Broadway and as a cabaret singer. She is not attractive. Your theory seems to have some holes in it..
