Wavelength again! I thought the same,but couldnt find the words. Its a cute moment and you sense she knew she had the stuff to pull it off...and some!

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.

@BabyRuthCandy85 And she did. Including Burger King and Lysol commercials.

Absolutely agree with you. I wonder though if what she had was too much for one person; being ahead of the game,of everyone around you, in the end you are too much on your own because no one can keep up. Thats the impression I get of Phyllis performing and being interviewed. And of course, that forensic intelligence she invested in her songs. And what a great dramatic and comedic actress on film she could have been. I celebrate her genius, which is what it was.

@TheSolaris810 She couldn't be "categorized" which was the "problem". Arista didn't have an R&B or Jazz "department" when her contract was assumed by them. She didn't want to be a household name, a crossover Whitney, nor a disco queen. I applaud her to this day for that.

Phyllis Linda Hyman... wow. Thanks for the info @missmochashake. :)

She was/is as great as Mahala Jackson, and theres no greater compliment!
Every video I see of Phyllis, I am astounded by her versatility. She really had the lot and as I said regarding another of her videos, perhaps she had too much talent, and her charisma was too big to be pigeon-holed. In a nutshell, she remains the Greatest for me.

This song is ACTUALLY called, Help Me Jesus by the Staple Singers! Most recently done by the late Bishop Walter Hawkins on his last CD, A Song In My Heart.I am glad that I caught this rendition by the great Phyllis Hyman. Loved her voice, her presence and her live performances.

Magnificent!!!

She sure did lead me back into the temptation of watching this video another 5 times with that "lead" at 1:28. Just ridiculously talented. Two thumbs up for an amazing performance!
1st rate hands down she is among the top 5 female voices of all time!
