Wavelength again! I thought the same,but couldnt find the words. Its a cute moment and you sense she knew she had the stuff to pull it off...and some!
She was/is as great as Mahala Jackson, and theres no greater compliment!
Every video I see of Phyllis, I am astounded by her versatility. She really had the lot and as I said regarding another of her videos, perhaps she had too much talent, and her charisma was too big to be pigeon-holed. In a nutshell, she remains the Greatest for me.
@TheSolaris810 She couldn't be "categorized" which was the "problem". Arista didn't have an R&B or Jazz "department" when her contract was assumed by them. She didn't want to be a household name, a crossover Whitney, nor a disco queen. I applaud her to this day for that.
Absolutely agree with you. I wonder though if what she had was too much for one person; being ahead of the game,of everyone around you, in the end you are too much on your own because no one can keep up. Thats the impression I get of Phyllis performing and being interviewed. And of course, that forensic intelligence she invested in her songs. And what a great dramatic and comedic actress on film she could have been. I celebrate her genius, which is what it was.
This song is ACTUALLY called, Help Me Jesus by the Staple Singers! Most recently done by the late Bishop Walter Hawkins on his last CD, A Song In My Heart.I am glad that I caught this rendition by the great Phyllis Hyman. Loved her voice, her presence and her live performances.
She sure did lead me back into the temptation of watching this video another 5 times with that "lead" at 1:28. Just ridiculously talented. Two thumbs up for an amazing performance!
Love the whole Outfit.....Phyllis.....the baddest Girl on the scene. I love you Phyllis!!!!..Sing It........all those improvisations in her lyrics. She is the Queen of Smooth Jazz.
Ruth, I betcha didn't learn it like Phyllis sang it. Yeah, she could sing anything if she could sing about a Whopper and Grape Welch's soda and have you feigning for it!!!
I always loved watching this but 2:10 just rips me up. It's like "where am I, OMG, continue, just continue". She plays it off well though.

Phenomenally stunning voice and so sad she couldn't hang in there long enough to really make a difference.
