[ATLien333]

This song makes me so sad because I wish Phyllis Hyman thought about this song before she decided to take her own life.. :( . RIP Phyllis Hyman.

[musicmaze]

Such a Fragile Rose, Beauty and Promise all in One Voice. One Amazing Voice

that was able to capture All in Life, beauty, personality, strength, and character.

And yet, Love was illusive to her. Prayers to an Angel.

[alexanderdiaz1]

I cry everytime I hear this song, since the age of 14 I had to grow-up very quickly because I lost both of my parents. And, when times are hard I listen to this song to help me Remember who I am. Phyllis Hyman has always been my favorite artist of all time, she has the ability to make me feel and believe even when times are hard. Even in death, no one has ever come close to this Angel. I miss you something fierce, Ms. Hyman...

[molinmusic]

This is precious and brilliant in the same breath.

Phyllis Hyman was never given the props she truly deserved.

Sorry she gave up...wish thing were better today than then but things could improve.

Brothers and sisters, remember who you are, NEVER give up!

[oneindachamber]

This song from the begining tune absolutely touched my mind, heart, body, and soul.

[lush46]

There are times in our lives that you find something that makes you feel an emotion that you never thought you had, well I can say that Phyllis Hyman has always been that lady, singer special person who by singing makes you FEEL....Thank you Phyllis.. True Songstress..

[3TJACKSO]

SHE WAS  AWESOME!

[PopsTake3]

Beautiful woman forever !!!!! ☆☆☆☆☆

[LuLusQueen]

Every time I feel low...I listen to this song. Simply Tragically Beautiful!

[RODSKI357]

This song is incredible! I am a long time Phyllis Hyman fan and I heard this song for the first time today. awsome. really awsome

[BLKSMOKE12]

This is my first time hearing this,but it is just more proof that this woman was a remarkable singer and story teller. This kind of talent is not seen anymore.....period.

[killerjoebenson]

"....there's no one like you, no one quite as special....you've got all that you need.....take care of yourself".

[Msredhoney720]

THOSE LINES RIGHT THERE get me everytime! Tears drop and flow..... this song is genius.

[tinaloveseddie]

Wow! Was not ready for this....Stunning! Thank you Msredhoney720....Magical!

[edwardjames50]

This is THE song to remember Phyllis by, and for!

[wamcalif5]

hurts to see those photos...miss her

[SeptiaWoman]

Remember WHO you are...and I DO, Phyllis. I do. :)

[YNGdeacon]

This is a beautiful song that applies to all of us and speaks to everyone of our situations. No matter how bad things get we cannot lose sight of who we are

[passthemall]

Thanks so much for posting the magnificent Miss Hyman. I LOVE her beautiful, Sensual, Smoky, Sultry voice. I played her CD's constantly and her death shook me to the core... Drugs robbed us of another wonderfully gifted talent. When will people learn you CAN NOT-EVEN try it. RIP Miss Hyman, I sure do miss you.

[knickfan50]

I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Hyman and her warmth was felt in person the same way she sings her songs...I will always Remember Phyllis Hyman.. one of the greatest artist of our lifetime.

[ksun]

Red,

We'll always remember you!

[pyrocosis]

but this song is alot better

[taylorboi429]

i KEST TO THIS SONG EVERDAY ALONG WITH "LOVE IS HERE"

[MonieMusic]

This is an amazing song... I just wish Phyllis would have remembered the feeling tone and passion when she sung this, as well as the lyrics. Maybe she would still be here making amazing music!

[irvinbean123]

A song that is very well said and it needs no introduction at all. Very well put Phyllis, as usual.Remember who you are,there's no one like you.............irvinbean123

[Zona992006]

God, enjoy her up there.....we ldid down here.

[Muziclvr07]

Your words are brief but so beautiful.

Ok, I'm crying now.....

[msdynamic]

We must take care of God's Children...

[SassyVness]

BEAUTIFUL!!! GREAT JOB

[ladyjz]

Phyl I miss you girl, all of the laughter we had! back in the 70's. Rest my friend.

[gandhara496]

you listen to something so soulful like this, something this real and heartfelt, it simply outshines anything being produced or sung on the radio these days. Anyone thinking otherwise does not understand real music. "true" musicians like phyllis, angela bofill, jean carne, etc...they werent just singers. Their voices were works of art.

[killerjoebenson]

Try convincing Clear Channel Communications or America. It's a shame but money talks.

[kentrell1976]

Jazmine Sullivan looks like Phyllis Hyman........

[Mshoney720]

I LOVE the pic of her as a teenager with the short pixie haircut round 1:07. She was soooo beautiful. Gone to soon. I also like the pic of her at 2:33; she looks like a regal model.

[DADIVAH]

You're trying to make me cry...Such a inspirational song from such a talent, Phyliss Hyman..oooh!!! Thanks excennt pics!

Meisha Moore

[benlawash]

rip her songs brings back some memories 80's babies

[nucxd]

WE MISS YOU PHYLLIS.....

[CSVJOH]

She was such an awesome influence!What a loss.. Yet, some of us are still here with a voice and NOTHING to say...

[statesenator22]

She looks like Goldie From flavor of Love on 3:04

[MissBabyJoker]

hell no she doesn't!

[snrbaires]

The singer/actress who most closely resembles Phyllis in terms of features is Deborah Cox.

[nataliesson]

I have heard she is due to play Phyllis Hyman in a life story @ some point!

[pyrocosis]

I agree deborah cox looks more like her. Im sick of how people saying that jazmine suillvian is the rebirth of phyllis. people need to stop that crazy talking shit

[cammicty]

You are so right, this is because the average person today is musically challenged, they're so use to these main artists today! There was only one Phyllis. I remember going to her private concerts, she was better than even recorded, the emotions she would bring from within the Audience! Phyllis was amazing!

[monreaux123]

its not crazy talk, imo deborah looks NOTHING like phyllis

[RazzHyman]

Just always remember beauty is not only outside it shows inside as well.

[Muziclvr07]

She was such a Goddess! Hearing about her taking her life the day after my 35th birthday was the absolute worse. I'll never forget it as long as I have breath.

I really miss her. :(

[nataliesson]

BLESS YOUR HEART!!!!

[raylpeters]

WoW!!!

this brings back memories!!!

I enjoy her music!!!

[SunnyAttorney]

This song, just as every other song sung by Phyllis Hyman, is BEAUTIFUL!! Her beauty, talent and undeniable class make her unforgettable and irreplaceable! May you rest in peace angel!!

[startak14g3]

her songs are so sad and depressing,but she had an amazing vice.

[irvinbean123]

This song was really right on point as well as the message that she was trying to put out there. Phyllis is such a beautiful woman and one can become very easile mesmerized by her voice as well as her beauty. Thank you Phyllis for so many countless moments listening to your music, and if you can only know the kind od impact that it has on me still presently. God bless you Ms.Hyman and I really truly hope you have found just what you were looking for, and always Remember who YOU are. irvinbean

[Mshoney720]

I personally think they should jus get a look alike actress to play her and use her own voice or maybe Toni Braxton's voice to record the songs. I would want it to seem as real as possible and that's the best way to do it in my opinion.

[phatrabbit126]

Jazmine Sullivan should play her

[mZpEaChEs123]

im a 35 yrs old woman n i've grown up off PHYLLLIS LIKE THE OTHER PERSON COMMENTED I'VE NEVER HEAR DIS. I LUV EVERYHING ABOUT HER LOOK,SOUND,& STYLE. IM KIND UPSET WITH HER 4 WHAT SHE DID, EVEN THO U NEVER NO WHAT A PERSON GO'N THRU.GOD, BLESS HER BECAUSE WHEN IM DOWN HER VOICE BLESSES ME. IM NOT SURE IF U HEARD HER WITH THE LATE GREAT GROVER WASHINGTON "SACRED KIND OF LUV" I LUV THAT.THANK U MRMUSIK D'ANGELA BHAM.,AL.

[monreaux123]

i wonder what was going on in her mind cuz i know i have been there

[Blueskywatcher]

Your sound quality is amazing! Thank you. I've never heard this song. This is amazing! Love Phyllis.

[62Mitch]

I discovered Miss Hyman whan I was a young man in the Army, her voice just...really I cannot describe how she makes me feel, her depth of emotion in her songs was so real, unlike the crap today....

[AfroLady352]

I agree with you, 32Mitch. Her voice is so pure.

[gporgie]

I meant performing without her "shoes" ...

[gporgie]

My girl!! ... this song is so special and the message is so unmistakenly profound ... I went to see Phyllis at the NY Beacon Theatre and was so mesmerised I just sat there and absorbed every minute of her performance .. at one point she performed barefeet because, as she said, she was most comfortable performing without them.. I was totally blown away at how at ease she was with her audience.. we really miss her presence today! .. .. REST IN PEACE LADY!!

[rh10562]

Wow...I was privileged to see Phyllis several times in DC and NY. She sent chills down my spine every time, absolutely amazing. I have this cd but seeing this picture demonstration just dropped me to my knees; it reminded me of how much I miss her...thank you!

[black0870]

I found that to be so beautifully displayed. I was able to see where some of our divas today like Jill Scott, Toni Braxton, Queen Latifa and those sisters have acknowledged Ms.Phyllis Hyman as one of their icons. Thankyou This was very musically historical

[nippy22]

I wish she well R.I.P

[shestudios]

This is beautiful. The photos really take you on a journey. Thank you.

[Mshoney720]

OMG, I love this song sooooooo much. I listen to this EVERYDAY!!!!! This is life's motto! I just wish Phyllis could have believed these words!!!

[Mshoney720]

This has to be one of her greatest songs! The lyrics are soooo touching........and when the clouds of doubt catch you off your guard, just remember who you are......you're both the singer and the song, the painter and the painting, don't waste your time in waiting, make your mark and remember who you are.....profound!!!! Much love, RIP Diva!

[Grammy2Be]

I wish I was alive before her untimely passing. When I hear lyrics like these, it emphasizes the delicate sacredness of life; especially with the fact that the singer is no longer with us. She's amazing.

[Blueskywatcher]

Very nice tribute. I love that. We miss you P.H. I hope you are at peace now.

[MrMusikRnb]

yes she is a legend in her own right....but she is still a LEGEND period!!! shes one of the biggest inspirations to aspiring jazz/R&B artist....

[Mshoney720]

Yes MrMusik you are absolutely right! She is a Legend period!!! A voice that can not be copied, one that stands out clearly. And a delivery that everyone can FEEL! A true SONGSTRESS! Never to be forgotten!

[Mshoney720]

This song is sooooo beautiful!!!! The beginning reminds me of Let's wait a while by Janet Jackson but this song is soooo much more. I am now reading the book Strength of a Woman The Phyllis Hyman Story and it really sheds a bright light to the pain and struggles she had been dealing with ever since she was a child. She was a legend in her own right forever to be remembered and missed, I love you Phyllis!

[MrSexxxy20]

I KNOW!!! Do you think they sampled it?

[Mshoney720]

Maybe so, cuz it sounds identical! I'm gonna do some research on it and get back to you.

[MrSexxxy20]

The beginning of this song reminds me an ol' skool Janet Jackson joint I think its called "Let's Wait A While"

[enayb]

I will never forget the day I got the call from a dear friend that Phyllis Hyman had took her flight off this earth!!! I just didn't want to believe it then and still don't all these many years later its hard to except that she is really gone. Her VOICE was as beautiful as she was physical. Georgeous woman. RIP Phyllis!!!!!!!

[TIBBSY]

Earths loss Heavens gain.

[jo22338601]

I'm happy that so many people believe that

Phyllis got her Wings,she left too soon but she left us so very ,much,Royalty she was

the Real Queen of voice,stage Presence,elegant

fashion,trend setter,So Superior just plain

AWESOME.RIP DIVA

[soulsistah100]

Beautiful.

[TheSandMan1980]

i miss you baby, but heavan gained an angel. thank you so much for your light

[nurvrax]

Great posting.

[stanleyballard]

Phyllis had "the best voice of the last 30 years".....an incredible instrument to have the luxury of hearing. A gift from God.

[ojackojacko]

I agree. She was very incredible in her stage appearence, her voice, and the way she could make you feel how she song her songs. There wlll probably be no one else like her.

[Edster73]

Was this song ever officially released?

[MrMusikRnb]

yes it was....it was released on one of norman connors albums and it was also featured on an official P.Hyman Collection

[IndianQueen001]

@Edster73 No. I've been looking for this song and never found it.

[TheChakaKhanZone]

LUV THIS. The whole Norman Connos cd is great1

[Champana69]

I could absolutely kiss you for this! Do you have any idea how long I have looked to hear this song? It has special meaning because it was one of last songs before her death....

[a4ur8]

Thia is another beautiful masterpiece by "The Sophisticated Lady" herself.

[kimzlova2002]

it's weird hearing her sing this song with this powerful message,"remember who you are" and this, ironically, was the last song she ever recorded.

[a4ur8]

Actually after this was released in 1993, Phyllis went on record a few more songs and in 1995 just before her death she recorded an album entitled "I Refuse To Be Lonely". The album was released 5 months after her death.
