Pharoah Sanders ft Phyllis Hyman - Love Is Here

[alsdyall]

This is a real gem, no really -a gem. To me, spiritually, emotionally, it's worth more than any value a stone or a rock could ever bring.

[doc2skate]

This was THE song from a great album.  Phyllis Hyman, Norman Connors and Pharoah Sanders were remarkable. Phyllis never received the recognition she should have for such an emotional voice. Truly, the world overlooked a fantastic musician. Hope people today are enjoying their Lady Gaga. Fabulous post.

[TWTR4EVER]

Phyllis you are truly are missed!

You will always shine!

I'll never forget early 1980's / summertime Fire Island Pines N.Y. / you, arriving via helicopter, landing on the ocean side of The Pines in the sand, almost midnight between Harbor Walk & Atlantic Walk looking "MAGNIFICENT" in a white beaded gown after a Broadway performance of "Sophisticated Ladies" to do a benefit at our summer playground, "The Pavillion" :-)

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER!

GOD SPEED!

Saw her at the Park West in Chicago in 1979? Brought the house to tears .....She was great and the always fabulous Pharoah Sanders RIP Phyliss

[VirginUbiquity]

Justs gets BETTER and BETTER with these two jazz- funk geniuses eh? ;) xxxxxx



[suaveinblaque]

With songs like this.... one can with their imagination, build a temple to love and make a dwelling place out of it indeed! Thanks to Phyllis Hyman and Pharoah Saunders for making such beautiful music together.

[AleekahTV]

Can anyone tell me what the name of that subtle instrument is that plays softly in the back ground throughout the song? It can be heard at the 0:02 and 0:05 mark. I've been trying to figure it out fir the longest and I love its sound.

@2r0 Thanks. That's quite an interesting technique.

Love this with Pharoah's distinctive playing...."The Creator Has a Master Plan"...my favorite of his..and Phyliss is great

[DaxShaw]

I so miss her. Such a hugely underrated and underappreciated talent.

[secretsquriel]

First great sax and Diva- Lester Young & Billie Holiday

They are who Pharoah Sanders & Phyllis Hyman remind me of here

Thanks for the post

[mrhowardb]

I still simply can't believe that she died thinking for one minute that people did not appreciate both her and her work. It is too sad really.

[sekouche]

HEY Mrhoward it still bothers me....I still throw-up with young people try to play Lil Kim in the Cafe after work, so I don't go after work until they get a better music so now at this holiday time since Thanksgive the music after work has been more adult, so we all have have a sandwich and some good Black music that doesn't insult you as a Black person

[jaye501]

i still cry sometimes when i hear her voice.....what a loss....."meet me on the moon" makes me have to shake myself and dry my eyes....

[mdsmoothqt]

me too....that is my favorite.  i cry everytime.

[sekouche]

DAMN am still hurtng, I heard this song as a young man and I met the sister a few months latr back in 79-80, she was fine, but she was a cool and happy Cousin, she was always funny and giving....But she had alway a base player but we was always cool. DAMN this too many memories

[okz723]

Does anyone know what album this song is on?

[kittykittymewomeow2]

It's Pharoah Sanders song...

[chalitha02]

I tried finding this on I-Tunes, but I couldn't. Guess I will have to find the actual Pharoah Sanders album and get it. I love this song...it is so beautiful.

[alexanderdiaz1]

It's on Phyllis Hyman's One on One CD...A beautiful CD in it's entirety...Everytime I hear this song it just pulls at my heart...her voice is...well...just heavenly...I miss her so much...

[zedek49]

pharoah sanders has impact and QUALITY of the sound of that saxophone

[ShangoDC]

Yeah, Pharoah Sanders played with the extraordinary master of the tenor sax - John Coltrane. Pharoah's playing and music is so underrated and misunderstood to this day. He should be considered one of the greats.

[jaye501]

he is....

[ShangoDC]

Thanks, Pharoah took the direction of his music and note structuring toward African and the East. That's where Coltrane had and was going before his untimely death.

[MsMerising]

Her work with Pharoah Sanders is pure magesty. Just gorgeous...

[nataliesson]

As soon as Phyllis started singing all I could do was cry! We all need to be the formation of people that shoes love to people because we never know what people are going through.

MAY THE LORD ABOVE BLESS PHYLLIS HYMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[N22831]

I first heard this song back in 1977,a friend of mines introduce me this song. Thank you Tony I will never forget you. Love you much.

[alexanderdiaz1]

The Divine Ms. Phyllis Hyman...What can I say...She is truly missed. Everytime I hear a song from her sadness fills my heart, for I will never see her perform live. For many years after her suicide, I was angry. I am no longer angry and have come to love and appreciate the legacy she has left us. Timeless sound and beauty.

[kittykittymewomeow2]

I still remember when I found out I were sitting on the edge of the bed watching channel 9 news. They said the show at the Apollo had been cancelled because PH had committed suicide, my mouth dropped. I flung the door open and yelled it out to my mom who is the BIGGEST PH fan, she looked at me strange ran to the TV and damn near fainted. For whatever reason she ran out to the pay phone called my aunts whom all where at my grandmothers because they had just heard the news. TBC

[kittykittymewomeow2]

The first thing my great grandmother said to my mom was Brenda are you okay and my mom just broke down. My mom and aunts NEVER missed a PH or Whispers concert and for what ever reason they didn't attend that one. I have listened to this woman sing ALL my life, she's been making music longer than I've been alive and I'm 34. There will NEVER be another Phyllis Hyman.

The weird thing is, my sons last name is Hyman. There aren't many Blacks with the last name and I would find the one with it lol.

[wii6tomoki]

i agree

[yvetteblalock]

@alexanderdiaz1 i feel the SAME WAY!

[jayphill08]

Just beautiful. Lush and symphonic! Classy!
