  • "I'm so happy, you're the rhythm of my rhyme..."

  • Its too bad that artists like her don't get the recognition they deserve.

  • She is singing from the soul. 

  • I am so captivated by her voice. It's raw, smooth, raspy, deep and full altogether. And the belt at 4:56 is mind-blowing!

  • There is NO ONE that can compare to the real PHYLLIS HYMAN

  • now this is real music and not the shit rappers that think they singing music

  • class act!

  • Excellent track has a fablous early 1980,s vibe about it. Reminds me of the club scene in Preston!

  • Banging Classic!!!

  • this is my fav Phyliss song!

  • just listened to Tina marie and trhink its nothing like Phyllis.....and nowhere near as good!!!

  • if more people listened,then lived by these songs,everyone would be in a better place

  • THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HEARING YOU KNOW HOW TO LOVE ME I A NEW YORK OR NORTH JERSEY KLUB ON A RICHARD LONG & ASSOCIATES SOUND SYSTEM. THE SOUND OF EVERY INSTRUMENT COMES ALIVE AND THE VOCALS ARE DREAM LIKE INSTANT EUPHORIA!!!!!

  • hyman and marie are up there head and head with the vocals and the funtastic sound of i need your lovi'n

  • Red Lobster in Hammond or Munster Indiana on November 5th 2011

  • Such a talented and gifted artist who never achieved the level of stardom she deserved (like Whitney Houston in her heyday). It's so sad that she felt the need to take her own life. I hope in death she found the peace and love she couldn't find here on Earth while she was with us. RIP, beautiful lady!!!

  • AAAHHH YEEAAHH!!! I LIKE THIS... THANK YOU MS. HYMAN FOR THIS JAM

  • This song lifts me up to the sky. ^_^

  • There were a few voices comparable, Minnie Rippleton, Reginia Belle, Loleotta Holloway and numerous others Oh and of course Stephanie Mills & Patty

  • SO SO TALENTED! SHE DIED TOO SOON!

  • Thank you ashR66 for posting this feel good body song by the late Ms Phyllis Hyman. I was/am such a fan, she could hum the phone book and I would download that to my ipod, she is such an incredible loss, and is sorely missed. Great song, keep the toe-tapping going.

  • This is the definition of a "feel good" song... Everybody dance in ya seat!!!

  • This Hyman cut takes me back to my first exposure to her. I was in a nightclub in Miami (Pre South Beach era). The dj remixed this for about 20 minutes. The dance floor was JAMMED PACKED the entire time!!! Her untimely death left a void in the industry. Mad props for uploading this gem of an artist.

  • great song !!!!!!!!!

  • This song has everything, sumptuous arrangement, unforgettable chorus, spiritual vocal performance. Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time I hear it, even after 30 years. Just beautiful, brings a tear to my eye. 2 people also have no experience of life.

  • sHE JUST CAPTURES MI IMAGINATION! ... Thank you for posting this beautiful song!

  • The music is really great and she worked her voice in with the song as if it were to become one

  • I saw her perfom this song on stage in 1980. I thought this is the most sexy woman on the planet. She was singing and dancing through this song(shows how long ago this was) That is the image I hold to this day of that amazing beautiful woman.

  • This my alltime favourite song it was very popular b ack then in 1980 i remember hearing this i was 11 years old.Is very nolstalgic

  • Wow, this brings tears of joy to my eyes.

  • classic tune-thank you :-)

  • I loved this song!!! still do.awesome!!!

  • THERE ARE 2 PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT CRAZY! THIS IS A CLASSIC JAM FROM A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!

  • love this song

  • I listen to this and dream that Phyllis Hyman is still alive. And Teena, and Michael, that 911 never happened,AIDS never happened, and the world is like it was.This was my jam. Before the whole "disco sucks" attacks...

  • can't nobody light a candle to this woman!

  • Great Artist!!!

  • When I hear this record I see my mama struting down the hall way of the Frontier Hotel or at Cameo Coney Island with that I am that woman expression that women of the 70's had.Rest in Peace Willie Pearl Jones....I Love and Miss you Mama!!!

  • I FEEL LIKE DANCING!

  • Phyllis Hyman was a beautiful and talented woman that you do not see the likes of today. With her soft, sexy, smooth style of singing would make any man's heart flutter. I too grew up with this music and I miss it greatly but I also smile when I hear today because she takes me back to a better time musically.  Phyllis you are missed and you will always be apart of my life. Thank you for your music.

  • that was a fine, tall ass woman...may she rest in peace but that being said, this bassline is amuthaf__ka : )

  • @2009Denisem This song really pushes the buttons for me, could honestly listen to this over and over again, what a voice, what a song, another song sprinkled with magic..There's no denying it!!!!! One brilliant song..Love Love Love it...thank you for posting THRILLAKILLA187 and thank you for sharing Denise......Magic.

  • @GRAHAM5020 give me your honest opinion! dosent this sond like teena marie a little bit? or does it seem like marie would sing this? but my real question is, dosent this seem simalir to teena mari's song "I Need Your Lovi'n"? my names jason respond man cause i swear this is like a teena marie song even though i know its hyman

  • @jman4208 Hi Jason....I had a wee listen to Teena Maria singing "I need your lovin" as i have to admit it does sound similar to Phyliss Hyman's "You know how to love me" i will say Phyliss has a slightly more powerful voice.....but to being honest...both crackin' songs....Graham

  • @2009Denisem Amen you said it and Thank you @ashR66 for posting this treasured GEM! Thanks again from The Doctor Detroit!

  • @THRILLAKILLA187 Superb song Dr Detroit...this song really is just something else.....Thanks for posting this....Now would you like more jokes UK style ??

  • @GRAHAM5020 yes this song is and i would like some more UK jokes But I can't take credit for this song because I didn't upload this song to share This Person did give them the credit n thanks to @ashR66!

  • @THRILLAKILLA187 Well spotted, guess i was getting a bit sleepy when i typed my comments..Thank you to ashR66 for posting.......This is a song that i really could listen to over and over.

  • @GRAHAM5020 Not A Problem anytime brother and yes its a great tune!

  • Phyllis, RIP

  • MEOW! :3

  • This song is one of my favorite songs of all ! Her voice was very unique and sultry !

  • When I Was In Film School Back In The Early 80'S, I Was Asked To Deliver A Video Tape To Ms. Hyman's Apartment On West 57th Street In New York City; I Never Got To Meet Her, One Of My Instructors, A Close Friend To Phyllis, Came To The Door And Took The Tape; To My Disappointment!!!!! I Loved Phyllis' Voice; I Had A Crush On That Gorgeous Tall And Beautiful Gift Of A Woman! It Was So Sad To Hear That She Committed Suicide, So Sad Indeed! R.I.P Phyllis.....

  • Comment removed

  • im only 17 and i know this is good music. lol thanks Mommy <3

  • I LOVE HER,FOREVER,HOWEVER SHE DO ESNT HERE,BUT I LOVE HER VOICE..VERY GOOD SINGER.

  • :-)

  • Man-Oh-Man, WHAT A VOICE AND THE SONG IS JUST AWESOME!!!!!!

  • her music...her legacy...her voice spreads throughout generations!! ahead of her time...a legend!!!! you are sorely missed, Miss P. MUAH

  • my song

  • @chixaladymusic my song

  • beautiful persin...r.i.p phyllis hyman

  • fabulous voice and love the song.

  • Looking so good on the outside, and suffering on the inside.

  • The first time I heard this song many years ago I never thought that it would be so apropos to my relationship with my beautiful daughter! It is so profoundly true of the love and respect we feel for one another. How wonderful to have this special being in my life that truly knows how to love me and celebrate US! This had nothing to do with a romantic love like I originally thought. Little did I know that it would describe the most amazing love of my life.....that of my daughter!

  • I don't like to use the word diva, but I must say Ms. Phyllis was a diva in so MANY WAYS ! luv you Phyllis, rip.

  • @2009Denisem Aw...It years since i heard this, id forgotten how good this is, i do not even have it on a CD.....but hearing it again bring all the good times back, wish i could turn back time, simply fantastic track and a great singer, what year was it 1984????

  • Somebody's being taken to the water, now!

  • No one does her justice--HANDS UP & DOWN TO OUR BELOVED MS. PHYLLIS HYMAN! I was often told in my 20's that I strongly resembled her. What a compliment then and now!!!!!! Sad to say that we as women still do not value our STRENGTH, COURAGE, AUTHORITY AND YES, POWER!!!!!!!!!! LET US LEARN FROM THE EXPERIENCES OF OUR PAST AND PAY HOMAGE TO OUR YOUNG

    GIRLS AND WOMEN!!!!!!! GOD BLESS US ALL!!!!!!!!!! july,1656

  • I love this song! I remeber it when I was a little girl. I saw her story on unsung had to buy the cd. So sad what happened.

  • There are no words to describe the pain that I feel when I think of Phyllis and her ending her life for whatever her reason. I have to say that I too suffer from the highs and lows that she spoke about and I do understand how you can feel useless, and beat down. However this woman was very beautiful, very talented and was well loved by her fans. She just didn't know it. Maybe no one ever reached her and touched her soul. All I can say is Rest In Peace Phyllis. You were thee best!

  • @HippieNiecey no truer words have been spoken....and you just know that when you have those days when you're feeling "useless and beat down", that you have worth in this world, otherwise you would not have been created. Above all, when it feels like no one cares for you, remember the tragic story of Ms. Hyman and come to the realization that, like Phyllis, you are cared for by more than you know...i wish the best for you, girl. :)

  • @yvetteblalock  Thanks so much for the post! You sound like an awesome person with a very good mind set. You are so right. I agree with everyword you wrote. Thanks for caring. It truly means alot. I think of Phyllis always. We all cared for her more than she knows. Always .................

    ~Hippie Niecey~

  • @HippieNiecey you're more than welcome. 

  • @HippieNiecey i'm just happy you saw it!i wasn't sure if you were considering you made that comment like 2 months ago. i'm glad it brought joy to your heart. it honestly made my day when i read it today. :)

  • @HippieNiecey I so get what you mean about how you feel about Phyllis. I love her songs and they bring me joy but also make me sad becauuse she should still be here being adored and praised. She should have had several Grammys,Tony's, and been as appreciated as Aretha,Patti,etc. Hopefully she has found peace

  • @2009Denisem..You got it baby!!!..now my computor chair just broke hehehehe..these were the days indeed..I come from a rural area like as i one shop the bush and sea..nuffin like NYC!!! but we did have the music and them discos..'thank god its friday" haha..love this thanx

  • just had too get up and have a dance around the front room, thank you phyllis x

  • love her voice soul singing great

  • Phyllis is one of my all time favorites...

    There will not be another... to compare.

  • Now Arista sees a dollar to be made of a woman they did wrong..

  • I luv this :)

  • Absolutely no one was capable of singing with this woman, Phyllis Hyman! This era of singers are nowhere close to the smooth, silky, sexy, and skills of this woman. she was pure! I grew up on this music and miss it dearly.

  • @MrEbonyman I truly agree. Her voice was a prime example of being gifted from GOD. Years ago I wondered why she was not getting the acclaim she so deserved. From reading her auto (Strength of a Woman) I suspect she was blackballed. I believe she became bitter and possibly felt overlooked over the years and could not embrace her as she needed. I thought she was great,.

  • @vmccarty1055

    Yeah, I think she was blackballed by Dive Clavis cause she wouldn't go along to get along

  • @MrEbonyman my soul mate

  • @MrEbonyman What about Minnie Ripperton but you are correct....no woman from our present era can come close to these two icons.

  • Simply... BRILLIANT!!

  • fierce with a capital f

  • what a beautifull, beautifull song...so many memories,..tears in my eyes...

  • It's her voice, not the list of people that make this song good. Don't be silly.

  • 01 Oct 2009....look who is on board here, Producers- James Mtume & Reggie Lucas, basically the core of the group Mtume, plus Keyboards- Hubert Eaves,

    Bass- Basil Fearington, Backing Vocals- Gwen Guthrie, J. Mtume, R. Lucas, Syndi Jordan, Tawatha, and String And Horn Arrangements by Wade Marcus. Is it any wonder that Phyllis turned in an outstanding performance on this song. I bought this album new in 1979, and have loved it since, especially, "Under Your Spell". God Bless You, Phyllis.

  • Correction..."you're."

  • That album cover leaves me speechless. Phyllis's eyes were so penetrating, like they were gazing into the depths of your'e soul! R.I.P. Angel you are truly missed.

  • a classic 70's r&b 12" inch must have for every DJ in his library.

  • One of my all time favourites!

  • ashr66  obrigado pelo som,video...thank you for the song,video !

  • phyllis is marvelous

  • When I read these comments I cringe. The misuse of the english language and the non-use of punctuations should make a dead english teacher turn over in his/her grave...Come on folks, find someone to proofread your stuff before posting. For the sake of literacy..

  • get over it

  • Everyone that comments is not from America. Hence, English may not be there first language.

  • Correction..."their" first language. :-)

  • More than anything, people who enjoy the music (a majority of the time) post the comments, I am sure the way most people type is very different from how they would write a letter

  • @ashR66 Amazingly, no. I've been a networking geek for 35 years, and typically, newbies write unintelligibly, especially poorly educated kids new to the net. My daughter is 17 and is almost anal about fully spelling out words in texts, and the thinking among her peers is that people who use words like "dat" "ur/yr" and misspelled obscenities are new to the technology and don't realize they look foolish. It's ok, they don't yet realize this stuff is permanent and in ten years they will cringe. B)

  • @ashR66 wno writes letters any more? i've been typing in all lower case since 92. punctualtion, of course, is important. -djQ

  • @flybetty69 since when was this a classroom? and who gives a dam about what a teacher on youtube thinks about punctuations? seriously, get a clue.

  • @flybetty69 As an articulate and eloquent speaker and writer, I have very serious issues with your judgemental and offensive comment. Folks have the right to express and voice their feelings, thoughts, ideas, and opinions as they feel. Kudos to all of you who no matter grammatical or political correctness expressed your feelings!

  • @flybetty69 ありがとう deeej420@yahoo.co.jp

  • @flybetty69 * English. :P

  • @flybetty69 I can relate to what you are saying...Even though you are online and commenting on an artist and their music , I think you should be articulate with your wording. This artist was a very special lady and she sung from the heart, as you can hear it in her voice. She's very much missed!!

  • @flybetty69 Indeed. Of course, you should remember to cap-up the E in English, while punctuation does not need an "s" on the end of it. And you're missing a comma after "comments" in the first sentence. But ho-hum - we can't all be perfect, eh?

  • @flybetty69 shut-up and just listen to the damn song.

  • @flybetty69 OK, if you're so "uppity" on the language, how come you don't capitalize "English"??? It is written with a capital E, you know!

  • @Dancer810 haha funny!!! i thought the same thing..ppl will bitch about ANYTHING on youtube?!lol..i guess this attack is bettr than the rest of the HATEFUL things i see on YT..i guess flybetty69 (hmmm? well...we know what SHE likes to do in the sack...lol..but oh ...NO, she was "born in 1969, that's her defense if questioned about that..lol) i guess that Ms FLYBETTY69 hasn't seen one of the MILLIONS of thug and rap videos or just stupid thug videos w/ ppl who REALLY cant read or write "English"

  • @flybetty69 GET OVER IT ITS THE INTERWEBZ

  • R.I.P. Phyllis Hyman. When I listen to this song." You Know How to Love Me" I think about her live. That she went througth. It was Bipolar and suffered bad depression. Most of her songs is depression that she sing. It's a lost. I will always miss her. Great songwriter and singer all times.

  • Sad thing is, many genius musicians led sad lives. I wonder if they had the choice of creating great music and being depressed or being okay but leading a normal life, can we automatically say they'd choose the former?

  • Phyllis was great

  • @jazzlady40 you aint tellin nothin but the truth! :D

  • one of the all time best r&b tunes...pure class!

  • And yes the Goldmine so nice them days this music this song seeing her live was just the best how can all this time pass yet still this song is full of happiness & Love Thank you Angel for the good times

  • i love this song.how did she die can any one tell me

  • She was bipolar and suffered from server depression. She commited suicide. Bipolar is a real disease. If you ever hear anyone in your life speak in depression, please take them serious and try to help them get help. Take care.

  • thanks for the info i loved her music and will always love it.lots of love to you

  • Fabulous slice of jazz funk from the class lady herself Ms Phyllis Hyman. God rest yours soul and god bless all who hear and loved your music.

  • what a great lost miss you RIP

  • Her voice was and is so damn beautiful, I have the cd of this record and when i get a bad day at work i come home and turn my 500 watt hi fi system up full tilt and just dance my troubles away to her soulful sexiness, i love her. and miss her so much. She was a great one taken before her time. Got damn record industry didn't know or didn't want to market her in the so-called markets for her gifted ass voice.

  • You left us too soon lovely lady.

  • What a beautiful face to stare at while listening to this wonderful song.

  • A Beauty to look at, an Angel to listen to. Gone too soon from our hearts and minds. RIP Beautiful One.

  • we love u phyllis.

  • what a voice a sad shame we've lost a great one

  • What a sad end! I'll always love you,BABY!
