Phyllis Hyman : Why Not Me

Hey all,this is Mr.Musik ....

I added this song to my videos because the way that Phyllis is able to convey a message to your heart
is a talent all in it's self ....this is not "BUBBLE GUM POP" or average contemp. R&B,this is a "Down right in your
face ,listen to what im sayin" type of soul voice Phyllis Hyman possed..

Another thing is that Phyllis was not scared to confront problems that she faced in her music,the song "Why Not Me"
is completely self explanitory in every sense of the word...and I believe we all have problems similar to this in life....but I will not be a critic on her suicide.....
only SHE truly knows what she was going through.....and we are not God...to judge her....no matter what circumstances or beliefs you come from....
she was and still is a legend by all means....she stated she was tired of the struggles of life......and refused to continue to live like she did....where she
chose to make her spiritual transition and leave the physical plain......shes quite alive on the otherside ....

Phyllis Hyman,you are dearly missed,loved,and honored for your contributions in this life and as long as planet Earth rotates on its axis,your gorgeous voice will as well.....

Always remembered and never,ever forgotten....we love you Phyllis ....your TRUE FANS!

First time I hear this song and is now one of my favorite songs of her because I can relate and as well other people who ask the question "Am I not enough?"

Absouletly love this song. I've been listening to Phyllis all day today!!

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE MET PHYLLIS IN NEW YORK AROUND 1979 OR 80. WE SEEMED TO SHARE A COMMON INTEREST IN LIFES UNPREDICTABILITY. WE TALKED FOR HOURS THAT FIRST EVENING. I HAPPEN TO SEE HER MONTHS LATER PERFORM IN HOUSTON TX. WHEN SHE SAW ME AFTER HER SET ENDED, SHE ACTED AS THOUGH I WERE A LONG LOST FAMILY MEMBER. SHE REMEMBERED EVERY WORD WE HAD SPOKEN.I LAST SAW HER IN L.A. A FEW MONTHS BEFORE SHE PASSED.SHE SEEMED SAD, BUT WAS SWEET AND CARING AS ALWAYS. A CLASSY PRETTY LADY TILL THE END

Phyllis Hyman, wow what can I say, those that know me, know how much I loved this lady! I'd seen her perform around NYC and NJ, with performance being different from the next, her every note reflected on her emotions and what or who was happening in her life at the time. For those who never saw her sing live, you missed greatness!...ds

This Lady was the class of all Female vocalists during her reign. Her voice was provacative and sensual, there is not one Female entertainer that is out there today that can compare. I felt so privileged to see her perform just before she passed away, she put on one hell of a show. May she rest in Peace, she was one beautiful Lady.

@DJSupertel94 Wow! Her voice was perfect? Live? Very glad to know that!

[DJSupertel94]

Thank you for posting this beautiful track. I was very fortunate to have seen Phyllis Hyman in concert in London in the 80s. I can say with all honesty it was the best concert I have been to because it may not have been the longest performance, but her voice was just so perfect, you would have thought she was in a recording studio. My favourite singer of all time and it's very sad she died so young.

[free2bpoppie]

Still a strong presence!

She should be remembered always, for her beautiful contributions to the music world!
