  • I don’t want to compare great artists, because they all have their different styles and talents, but I’ve been listening to Phyllis since the mid to late 70’s and I must admit she probably has/had the greatest vocal tone, warmth, control, stylist and range all in one package than anyone I’ve ever heard from her era to the present. A tremendously, underrated, underappreciated and unknown extraordinary vocal talent the world over.

  • I LOVE THIS WOMAN AN HER MUZIC..SO SOULFUL AN TRUE...MISS YOU LOVE..RIP...BOBBY HYMAN..NOT RELATED TO HER,BUT MUSICALLY WE ARE CONNECTED AN UNDER GOD THAT IS MY SISTER....YES

  • I can't say that I have any one favorite song by Phyllis cuz I Love All her music..

  • 1 of my favs by her!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. Ms.Hyman

  • PLEASE post more of this particular album...I would be so grateful. Peace.

  • This woman is such a delight

  • This song says it all people just didn't know

  • All the breakups to makeups and this was always the song in the background....

  • I love how her music is so smooth, and pleasant but so strong and it's almost undescribable cause it's so great!

  • I'm not putting her up against not one she can sing period and has an awarded spot for it. There will not ever be another Phyllis Hyman and I miss what she surrounded in her to share from her enclosed life with us ...all the other women artist are doing their best as well and God Bless them.

  • We miss you Phyllis Human where ever you are. What a great solist she was.

  • RIP Phyllis Hyman, great voice gone, the irony is ,if you listen to her songs in my opinion, she was reaching out to be noticed, hate she was depressed enough to end her beautiful life so soon and sudden; mos def glad we were/are blessed with a true talent.

  • Hyman was a far superior vocalist compared to the mumbling Anita Baker.

  • My all time FAVORITE song from Ms. Phyllis Hyman!!! Simply the best at being able to sing from the heart--there will never be another Ms. Hyman!! You just don't know!! "I aint had no lovin' since you've been gone!!! I love it!!! Planning all my evenings by the TV

    Guide and wishing you were here with me to love the night away!!! Wow!! Been there, done that, hundreds of times!! RIP Ms. Hyman--your music will last for generations!!!

  • YOU just don't know Phyllis...how much we love and miss you. like a momma bear missing her cubs

  • Hey you reading that book come here let me read to you. i got some missing pages to discover.

  • Even though she was crying out for help, she was one of the most classy, soul-stirring ladies of all time. Rest In Peace Baby Girl.......Much love to you and those soothing songs that you blessed us with.........

  • Im not surprised at all that she committed suicide... If you really listen to her music, its like every song was a cry for help...Phyliis is by far one of my favorite artists & we share the same birthday, on the days Im feeling low, I listen to her music & remember how bad I was feeling but it always gets better. So unfortunate she wasnt able to realize that

  • @Ms79Precious She wasn't one of the cases where people didn't know she was depressed. Her family had a history of depression and I believe she was diagnosed as bipolar. The Unsung episode explained it all very well. I feel like, even though it's great so many people love her music and cared about her, that all the "it was a sign, she was crying out for help, it was underrated" talk takes away from her music. That's just me though, I still enjoy reading about her and hearing it.

  • To this day I feel she is underrated.I always loved Phyllis even as a very young boy.Something about her voice and style catches me every time,but to listen to her pain is very saddening that she is no longer is here.I really wished someone could have help her in time so she could still be here.Thanks Phyllis 4 giving us songs like these,we will never 4get You!...True Fan!

  • nyc bx^^^ im a 90s baby but wen i saw dis sexy ass tall ass talented ass women i fell in luv. RIP

  • I Agree i am 28 and i been listening to phyllis since i was about 7-8 years i have all her music truly gone way to soon

  • This is truly one of my favorite Phyllis Hyman songs! She will forever live through her music.

  • One of my favorites! She sings with so much passion; sadly "passion" doesnt exist among today's so-called singers. I LOVE ME SOME PHYLLIS, yes I do!

  • One of my favorites by her. 

  • Good point about Mary J. I remember when she put out her first album, I call it the "obsessed" album. All I could do was compare her to Phyllis Hyman. I was afraid that she would be as depressed as Phyllis was. Phyllis once said "I sing sad songs because I'm a sad person". I believe her and I was hoping Mary J wouldn't end up like that...

  • PH was a singer in the purest form, how these current female artist could learn so much. I so agree with a former post she could make you feel things that you never knew you could feel. Simply raw talent, what a lost!

  • This was my favorite song freshman year at tennessee state university, and during the probate show one of the deltas sang this joint and i nearly lost my mind in the gentry center

  • @rh2designs That's awesome. How long ago?

  • Ahead of her time...untouchable ballads and spirit

  • @sweetdew316

    I agree totally. Phyllis knew how to deliver in a song....

  • . . . Awesome!

  • Ms Hyman's voice is so amazing I love it.

  • My mother turned me on to Phyllis Hyman when I was a little girl! This lady will make you feel things that you never knew you coud feel when you listen to her sing! Such a great artist!

  • i LIKE THE PART WHEN SHE BREAKS IT DOWN" U DONT KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE CRYIN'

  • This song touched my heart in so many ways.

  • One of my all-time favorites by Phyllis. Glad you posted this.

  • sing it girl!!!!

  • Happy Birthday beautiful! One of my all time favorites

  • Beautiful song by a beautiful soul...and what is with the schmuck who disliked it?

  • Beautiful talented Phyllis!!! Miss you!

  • For anyone who has loved someone and lost them this song is perfect. I can relate to this song so much. I waited all my life for that special someone and they where tragically taken away. This song really takes me to that place, being in love...you just don't know.

  • "You just don't know, you just don't know!"! Babydaddy..you just don't know!! *sigh*

  • one of the greatest female singers I've ever had the pleasure of listening too.

  • longtime

  • I love ALL the songs Phyllis Hyman sings, this is ONE my FAVORITES!

  • phyllis had silky smooth voice that was relaxing

  • K.W. you just don't know what u r doing to me!!

  • Man, classic album. My sister played this album to death. Gamble and Huff.

  • Classic Hyman. R.I.P

  • I love this song! So many memories, some good, some bad, you just don't know!

  • omg - this is one of my fav Phyllis Hyman songs. Thanks for posting this.

  • Hell yeah, the Valley Forge Music Fair was the shit. An excellent venue.

    As for Mary J. singing this, yes she would knock it off pretty well. But I think the old Mary J. would've done a better job on it. The new Mary J. wouldn't hit it from the soul, IMO

  • I agree about the whole Old Mary vs. New Mary thing, lol. Everybody had more soul in their voices back in the day

  • I remember going to see her outside of Philly at a place called Valley Forge music hall...wow!! It's not even there anymore. The stage was round and it turned and the artist performed. I remember this song because my X and I had reunited and he took me to see her sing. When she sung this song he whispered in my ear "I dedicate this song to us" And she tore it up!!!!

  • I prefer her Buddah/Arista stuff --- this was good but not as strong as previous tunes.

  • Before Mary J Blige sang about the joys and pians of love...there was Phyllis Hyman. And talk about sexy... OMG the woman was so sensual

  • I would love to hear Mary J sing this.

  • @stewartduane PHYLLIS WAS THE BEST AT IT!

  • omg!! she better sang dat shit!! yes i sed SANG, im only 18 and have fallin n love w ph

  • I just sent this to my sweetie. Song is awesome. I remember when this album came out.She sings everything a person would like to say to a returned lover. Sing on Phyllis...we miss you.

  • If you are a Phyllis fan check out the show about her on TV One call Unsung.

  • I saw it. It was good and the one about the Debarge family. Were there any others? I only caught those two

  • My favorite song!!!!

  • hands down her greatest song. she gets u right in the beginning with the oooo.especially at 2:54 til the end of the song.and that cry she does at 3:57. OMG i'm loosin my mind dat how good this is.

  • Hey Phyllis!! ... You just don't know how I've been missing you since you left us! - RIP*

    Your memory is cherished in your music!

  • Hey this mah fukkin shyt!!!

  • This song here is a real tear jerker. I am a person who happens to be in tune with my emotions and have no problems in expressing them. This is one of those moments with this song. Phyllis you have a heaven sent voice, personalized by GOD himself. I hope you find the happiness that you are trull looking for. Thanks for all of your lovely music that you have shared with me . May you rest in peace,and god bless you. irvinbean123

  • I just joined youtube!!! When i hear this song from phyllis i listen to the words & i truly feel her on this song man if someone ever do a remake of this they sure as hell better not f it up because this song is serious, its nothing to play wit can ya'll feel me on this? you don't play with phyllis & aretha's music

  • Awesome song, great post. thanks!

  • I miss this woman sooooooooooo much.....i wish i could've given her a huge hug and let her know how much she and her music touched so many lives

  • I love her......

  • Im only 16 and love phyllis hyman. She among many others sang REAL music.

  • This tune and the entire album, remind of of some of the best times I had ever had, some very fond memeories of moving to ATL, GA, and of several (now past) guys that I became freinds with, Mike, Sol, G, and several others, listening to her and getting ready to go out to Lorettas on Peachtree, smoking trees, making sure the outfit was just right, ready for a night of hard partying, and doing it all again the next day. Also this was the top song for drag shows

  • I love this song

  • I love Phyllis!

  • Lord Have Mercy On Us All. Some time you run across a song that gives you chills and you try and put yourself in a position with the artist and try maybe to feel what they are expressing and wish you could lay it down like them. This is one of those tunes. You were blessed Miss Hyman.

  • I won my first record album, off "OK 100" a radio station that use to be in DC in 1980. With Phyllis Hyman's album featuring this song You Know How To Love Me on it.

    I miss her so much.

  • MY FAVORITE, still have this album (I remember when I heard this TAPE and this song in particular) Excellent post. Check the live version on here too - EVEN BETTER HEARING IT LIVE. L

  • we all wished there was something we could've done to help phyllis hyman during her times of loneliness. and that is a hard void to fill when you don't have somebody to share all your success and happiness with. i love and miss you, phyllis.

  • this is a great song about how you feel

  • I come back to this page now and the

    to get a fix. It's never enuff..

  • I do to lmao

  • this is one of my favorite songs. from a child i always loved her as a artist. this songs speaks a sittuation in my life right now!...miss u Phyllis!

  • TEARS!

  • This song an "No One Can Love You More" are my FAVORITES but I LOVE them all almost equally! It's something about the part when she says "You just don't know, You just don't know". DAMN you can FEEL it!

  • Luv hearing these songs by her.sing ms.phyllis

  • Phyllis would be Great today.....

  • I remember this front cover!

  • I love this song thanks for taking me back down memory lane!

  • Thanks so much for this post...do you happen to have "Be Careful How You Treat My Love"? Will you post it? Thanks again! :)

  • i miss her already i know she was loved by many.

  • You know I know that alot of you say you would have helped her and this and that....I know how she feels or felt....but heres the catch ,when your tired of being tired,and when you get tired of the pain,anguish,and loneliness then thats when you contemplate suicide and u just want to literally DIE,an u act on it from there

  • That's true, it's just tragic when you wish you could have done something. It just says you care. I grew up during the time she was at her peak and even then you wanted to, if it were possible, give her what she longed for because it was obvious she was more than lonely. It really hurt when I heard that she committed suicide. She was a sweet, stunning woman.

  • When she sings her songs you can hear that she had someone in her life and it didn't work out ,,, I can relate. beautiful voice makes me only wish I had my special someone!!

  • People don't understand that youcan only make good music when you sing about situstions that you have been through, that way you can put your all into.

  • I guess we didn't know. luv you Phyllis.

  • Pure Perfection...Nobody can touch this!

  • Teresita40, this song has so much meaning. I'm not in love but know what she's talking about on a first-hand basis. Everyone needs to be appreciated.

  • I just wish Phyllis had called me. I would've made her forget her problems. Love sucks but she just didn't know how to handle it. I can relate but there's no question she needed some good love.

  • Oh wow I hilltopboots, when she died I felt like if had been her friend, I could have helped her. I miss her so much.

  • i think a lot of her true fans felt that way too. if we could have spoken to her to let her know at that fateful moment how truly loved she was...maybe it would have made a difference..we still miss her

  • I used to date her cousin. I saw family pics with her in them and I almost cried. SO GORGEOUS!

  • KevyKev you were so close and yet so far... Wot happened ?

  • I just Love Her ...too bad she let love kill her.

  • sad
