I had the opportunity to meet Phyllis in 94 in Fort Worth,Tx at in concert at the Caravan of Dreams club. I sat alone holding this 1 red rose waiting to get the nerve to take it to her. I got the nerve while she was singing Living All Alone. As I went up to hand her the rose, I looked into those big beautiful brown eyes and could feel my knees going weak. She was so fine. I barely made it back to my table. She still makes my heart skip a beat when I hear her voice. I love you Phyllis.

This is a BEAUTIFUL woman. I was only one year old when she died, but I thank God that my family is so extremely cultural .. because I dont know many people that would have ever referred such a extraordinary singer to me. <3

I wonder why she had a problem with men because she seems so great to me! However, I think that if she had had a child by her ex-husband, Larry, then that child would have brought a lot of joy into her life. In addition, she would never need alcohol or drugs for that kind of joy because she would have had so much to live for. Was it that she was taking birth control, and that is why she never gotten pregnant by Larry? On the other hand, could she have a child?

I remember seeing Phyllis Hyman in concert in 1995 right before she died. What a treat and honor to be in the presence of this beautiful and talented woman. I miss her!

Phyllis appears very confident and successful in this video, which only makes me believe that she could have overcome her problems and become very, very successful! I was so...so...so deeply saddened by Phyllis committing suicide. I often play her music for many of my friends...both younger and older individuals...and they are blown away and captivated by the beauty of her voice. It's going to be a long time before we experience another voice beautiful voice as that of Phylis Hyman!!!

damn she was flawless

[Messylin]

To let yourself feel vulnerable takes a lot of strength. I don't think Phyllis ever truly knew how many people admired her honesty, and continue to admire her legacy.

@jd7779311 I would have loved to experience that

Hear Hear in ref to being well spoken and professional Pylis is well read and fascinating.. There is that realistic vibe from her. Today singers are not victims of their environment.. but there is that well shrouded sense that you only get to see such a small peice of me.. no wonder i can't remember their names.. or the music.genre their into

@Dontgupt208 You did make me laugh when I read your post, because ITS TRUE!! Young Artistes these days don't speak well. They present themselves in the way of the time I suppose. In the 80's there were so many artistes to choose to see, plus the tear between Disco and Soul was happening and we were just seeing more Black artistes in the UK. I loved the fact that everyone spoke well and polished and took more time to talk about there lives. I loved Phyllis Hyman. So beautiful! Such a shame!

I was 24 when she died. I loved the album. Especially the song, "You just don't know" Love you Phyllis.
