Very rare Phyllis Hyman Unseen on youtube before now!!

Everything I have of Phyllis on VHS seems to available on youtube nowadays. I remember a time before the invention of youtube that my PH video collection used to impress fans to a point where they would beg me for copies! Those days are long gone. This is one of the last items I have that has not yet been posted by anyone (at least that's the impression I got when I tried searching for it).

Filmed around the time she started doing Sophisticated Ladies on Broadway,
this was Phyllis' contribution to some charity telethon. The clip reinforces the fact that she was an amazing Jazz singer. She does "It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) accompanied only by a pianist.
