Yeah at 5:43 - Outro.....if you don't do it the way the EXecs want you to do it, problems arise and it always seem drastic for the artist ending in DEATH. I always thought alot was played into her self proclaimed loneness, etc. a bit toooo much, almost like setting the stage for something. I remember this like yesterday, Phyllis was one of my favorite singers and greatly missed.
@daTruChosen I see where you're coming from! But what I absolutely LOVE about Phyllis Hyman was that she never bit off more than she could chew, she always stayed where she was vocally and knew her limits and capabilities. What set her apart from all the other singers who try to show off with their vocal acrobatics, excessive runs/riffs was that she still could capture and mesmerize with just that pure, simple voice. I think that was really something special about her.
It is so sad to watch this because I don't need to hear the artist name or title to know there is a Phyllis Hyman song playing on the radio. I know that voice ever time they play her songs.
Unfortunately, I can't listen to the radio now adays because I can't tell who is singing what anymore. Most female artists sound alike...not all of them, but enough for me to stop listening to the radio for music unless the station plays oldies.
honestly after doing research and finding out how the music industry is run, i wouldn't be suprised if her being in the industry played a role in her depression. when u sign that record contract, ur signing ur soul over to the devil. i think she changed when arista records took over. she stated, ''i have demons'' over and over. today wat the industry makes obvious now when it comes to devil worship and secret socities and artist bullying wasn't in the publics face then.
I LOVE listening to "You Know How To Love Me" You know when you would have those get togethers at one of your relatives houses? They be in the back playing cards, bbq'ing, kids running around, music blasting? When this song would be played, we kids be dancing the hell off of it. And if one of her slower songs came on, you were just so laid back and relaxed, you would just be so lost in her voice. I miss those times.
love her and her music..'somewhere in my lifetime' is beautiful and holds a special place in my heart it reminds me of my first love who passed away 4 years ago . her story is so sad we miss you phyllis.
@phymanforever Hey did you notice Hyman has not had one pop hit to make it pass the top 100? She's only had R&B & Dance hits but she has not had one Pop song that peaked in the top 100. Isn't that pretty sad how not even her voice could get her the respect that she deserved? With a voice like hers, labels should've been fighting just to sign her but as usual, they go for quantity over quality.
@PopCulture20 that goes without saying! it still pains me that she was never quite revered in the way that she deserved to be. but still, there are tons of people who appreciate her :)
@phymanforever I feel like history is repeating itself because the same thing is happening with Christina Aguilera who was also inspired by artists like Hyman & Etta James and NO ONE seems interested in doing an album with Aguilera after her last two flopped, but instead, labels are pushing Britney's awful voice on us!!!!
@PopCulture20 I guess, like you said, quantity over quality. generally britney appeals to a wider audience and is able to churn out many albums with songs that are less than satisfactory and still have people interested in/buying her music. although christina is an excellent vocalist, she seems to be going down the same road with her 'upgraded' image and substanceless songs...
@PopCulture20 the pop charts are preserved for those who submit to their record labels hint why people like britney & lady gaga stay on the pop charts they sleep their way to the top.

I always makes me sad to see artist with real talent forced on the back burner, for singers who are considered to have more of a crossover appeal.
719kai719 7 months ago
@719kai719 That's why I don't put too many mainstream pop acts on my I-Pod because I get more inspiration from R&B, Rock, ,Hip-Hop, & Country.
