@vardoegers I agree. It's not right, but it's okay. I sent this to my sister on 2/11. She said she was sick as a dog in bed but was LOL. I told her not to share it on FB as "it's not the time".

@MrKennylun She did remember everyword said, and YOU as well. I experienced the same. Nothing phony about this woman at all.

And she looks timeless even amongst that post 70's wicker & plants stuff.

After a show in Detroit once this jewelry artist, that made the oversized type that Phyllis wore, handed her a biz card and Ms. Hyman nearly ripped her apart. I felt so bad for her. "Look, if you're an artist and sell jewelry, have at least a sample on you. How I am I going to know what you do...

@SwingItLikeMoe He got married to CarrotTop and they lived happily ever after (in comedy).

@sukawhatwhat That's why I love Phyllis Hyman. She was absolutely beautiful.....and a singer.

She liked this Bobby Caldwell song (blue-eyed soul) and thought it was time to be "re-done". She opened for Gino Vanelli back in the 70's (he appreciated HER talent). Phyllis also liked Michael Franks.

TRUE beautiful - diversity - all the way around. Let's get back there.

@21madmethod Prince was a talent from another universe but he was known to be "black only when it's convenient".

@Cheenjoo She was tall. She told me that "Clive went diva shopping one day and came back with me and Phyllis". Always thought that was hilarious. I have a picture standing next to Angie. I'm 6'1". I'm sure she was wearing heels but she's taller than me in that pic. Funny but if you saw Angie on...

Love it. I sing this song in my head at least weekly in Chicago. They're sitting on stools all over here!

@KNJ3 Geez, now that you mentioned it.....I see it too!

@kmaur21 I'll be 47 soon and look "damn good for real too". Others have told me so.

Take a darn good look at what has happened to Chicago's gay district/community by coddling this "transient youth" gay movement and your attitudes would change. They've been given too much of a "voice". All I know is that, as a teen, I knew I was "different" but, luckily our single parent househo...

@akaziaj But in an interview, she also equated the drug addiction thing to love addiction (which was her purpose of the lyric) therefore justified it as being o.k. She also said she was "bombed" when making this video.

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.

The song is o.k. It says much. But I don't care if she sang about toilet paper, I'd still listen. However, 2:40 in this video. Nobody on earth could pull that off. NOBODY.

Great production. It digs, and digs and digs. Then it slows, breaks and digs even deeper. I didn't know he was until hearing this.

@Tonysings Phyllis even admitted herself the lonliness, depression thing was a gimmick. Shallow people fell into it and I can't believe that people like myself (and Nancy Wilson who adored her and commented in her liner notes that she didn't read Phyllis' "stories", just heard the voice) didn't ...

@ph1lanthrope Clive was too busy with crossover Whitney to bother with Phyllis Hyman or Gino.

1975 Detroit. I was 10 years old and caught this song and artist (thanks WJZZ). Storm At Sunup is the first vinyl LP I bought after bringing home my Aiwa direct drive turntable with strobe and a front loading mechanism. I still have it too.

Where am I going?

I'm the one that yelled "STFU" to the hoochie mama trying to p/u her next babay dad at the bar while Randy was singing this accapella at the Royal Oak Music Theater in '96. I got applause. I scared my date however.

@musiclover3928 Hence the .99 cent single purchases now available online.

I can't believe he said that about this masterpiece of a song. I listen to it at least weekly. It says everything.

"Luther died", she said. "I know!", echoed across the room and came back to slap me right in the face.

There was silence for at least 3 days. You could have yelled in my face ...

@AleekahTV It was a treasure experiencing Ms. Hyman as a "real" person. Not sure if it was this commercial but I remember her saying some agent called her while still in bed to sing some jingle, she ran down the block in her robe and made $40K. Honestly, I've met about 10 celebs in my life and P...

True story. Thanks to Detroit radio stations, I knew this womans voice since I was a kid. I just knew Himon (I spelled it wrong on my cassette). Then I saw a picture of her. OMG. Then I did the true research pre-1980's. What a talent, what a voice. She acknowledged my recognition of her and...

@iamjanan Agreed!

@Futureindiestar16 You weren't to mention that song around her. She tought it was a "gimmick" (listen to Johnny Gill's latest hit). I thought her voice and the bass line in that song were a perfect match though.

@Lanoelle I saw Phyllis backstage at least 8-10 times. I only saw make-up being put on about 3-4 times, by herself.
