Phyllis Hyman Interview on 'Attitudes'

[@mysky]

Phyllis Hyman is so captivating. The voice is so sultry and seductive yet calming and soothing. She commands attention and you want to give it to her!! She leaves you spellbound.

[@adroutt1985]

Well said

[@adroutt1985]

Every interveiw is so consistent. Her personality is amazing. So pure. You would never know the demons she battled with her sense of humor. So big in our culture we laugh to keep from crying.

[@shannonstewart4792]

Omg Man can you imagine if she had stuck around. She was just way ahead of her time AND the game. All her demons you speak of would've been addressed today and wouldn't seem foreign to her. No one spoke about mental illness back then and STILL don't in the black community. But all she wished for back THEN would've been laid at her feet today had she stuck it out. I miss her so much as a fan. Btw just realized this a year late since your comment. I so hope and pray you are happy and well and still enjoying hearing great artist like Phyllis.

Shut up, stupid!! Those men (whoever they are) are just as entitled to THEIR preferences, as you are to yours......without having to be insulted for it! None of them had any obligation to her.....just as she had no obligation to those she had no interest in.

[@carolinenoble1321]

this was such an interesting interview, its a shame she did not find happiness and recognition for her music

[@Thebraids]

Phyllis was hilarious, and yet it seems she had a lot of pain and sadness inside.

@Angel Johnson What makes her eyes mentally ill?

[@kimberlyjade4094]

Angel Johnson I don’t understand how that 1 second of eye bugging concludes mental illness.

@@Reawer Facts

[@longbeachmaumba7059]

Intimidated by a strong woman? No men are attracted to femininity. Why would any straight heterosexual man be attracted to anything "strong" 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@shannonstewart4792]

QUEEN just in case no man shared this with you it's not that we are intimidated by you. It's that a lot of women come off as COMPETITION towards men. And men want COMPANIONSHIP not COMPETITION. Men gotta go out and fight the world to exist and make a living last thing men want to do is come home and compete with you too. Home is where we are supposed to chill and have a partner. Not be constantly reminded that you don't need us and you can do it all on your own.Men need to feel needed and Women want to feel wanted. Some of this is the Governments fault too tho. Btw hope you are happy, healthy and getting ready to enjoy our first summer of freedom.

[@Lockeditin]

@@shannonstewart4792 Men don’t have to go out and fight the world by themselevs and women don’t have to stay at home. Why do u think women fought to not to be in those conditions? Women are simply voicing their Voice on earth that belongs to them too. Women wanting her own stuff isn’t a competition to anything else but your ego. Guys like u see it as compwtition,the rest of the world see it as women living their lives how they wish.

Phyllis was married twice, she was involved in a love triangle with R&B star Christopher Williams, and she had a gay relationship with one of her assistants. Truth is she never wanted a relationship, marriage, or children. Relationships meant relinquishing control, she always wanted to be in control. RIP Ms. Hyman

Not sure what the comment of "she was gay and very troubled" meant below however I am sure you meant well. Phyllis had bipolar disorder and it was never diagnosed that is where the trouble came from and gave her the ups and downs and unfortunately it got the best of her and she took her own life. Having this problem and drinking led her to start using cocaine at times and it simply became a recipe for disaster. I am not denying the "she was gay" comment below but I am responding as to why this wonderful talent and bright light took her life the troubles came from an undiagnosed bipolar disorder. .
