Phyllis Hyman - Living All Alone (Official Video)

[@tomandbronwyncouden6114]

I’m a 72 year old woman and I listened to this beautiful, talented woman when I was in my twenties. I’m listening to her again tonight. She’s magnificent. Thank you beautiful girl.

She comes from an era when an artist sang a song you could feel the emotion being pulled from your soul.

[@nomtp8263]

That part

Because its actually what she was going through. She committed suicide as well.

I'm here listening to meet me on the moon and I tell you you most CERTAINLY can feel her pain. Her loneliness. She KNEW she couldn't CONTROL the world n those in it. Yet she could DO something bout NOT feeling that PAIN anymore.This sister is very VERY DEEP. On a level MANY can not relate or can but don't want to confess their truth. Bout vulnerabilities bout NOT being understood and many claim they can relate and do Nothing except make u feel invisible. & yet once again ALONE.

[@fannieholloway8503]

I have seen her in Philly, Now as I still listen to her music. She was asking for help but they were making so much money off of her no one cared. RIH sweet Phyllis

[@fannieholloway8503]

You can be Rich , Poor when pain hits you mind, you become a different person. The music is painful no what no one says or have been there you don't know what she was feeling I think she was asking for help. Why would her assistant leave her alone knowing she's sick and in pain. We will never no. Peace to all of her Listener's.

[@robk9685]

Unfortunately there was no "fame" because "crossover" queens became the rage across the country, even with black people. And there was no $$$ either. Trust me, I know this and knew Phyllis personally. I remember asking after a show "Where's your sax player and back-up singers?". Her reply? "I can't afford them". What was left out of the snippet of her suicide note was "and the IRS can kiss my a**". I know this too.

[@chocolatediva40]

So true you can hear her pain in her music. It's sad what an amazing talent. Rest well Phyllis you are loved.

I discovered Phyllis in 1987 when I was attending Robert Morris College. I remember watching BET as a young white Pittsburgh suburban gay male, and saw this video on Video Soul with Donnie Simpson. My love for 80's & 90's R & B/Soul started then. All those great songs kept my morning bus ride into the city for class a time I fondly remember. I fell in love with her voice. Little did I know years later that Phyllis grew up Pittsburgh. So sad that she had so much pain. A voice like that spoke to so many people. RIP beautiful Phyllis! Thank you for helping my young gay white soul to emerge and learn about such wonderful music.

still here 5/2021......WOWW, Phyllis was one of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL...POWERFUL, SULTRY voices during her time (including Angela Bofil) I can still listen to her today like its my first time ...she ALWAYS gently nudges me to feel what shes singing, feeling...not many artist do this for me nowadays I MISS HER immensely

[@ashantijackson4249]

People slept on her and Angela Bofill. They had some wonderful voices with a lot of emotion.

Trivia: I met Phyllis in 1991 and we "connected".....just like that. I can't explain it but she and her staff treated me like royalty from that day on. I met Angela Bofill in 1996 briefly backstage then we and others headed over to a Detroit restaurant afterward. Angela mentioned about Phyllis' death as "truly sad" then mentioned "Clive went out diva shopping and came back with me and Phyllis". Hilarious. Say what you want about Clive Davis but "the man with the golden ears" certainly had them. Then along came Whitney for the golden parachute and, well, the rest is history.
