I remember 6-30-95 the day Phyllis Hyman passed. I was in Harlem & she was suppose to perform @ the Appollo theatre. I was 3 blocks away hanging with some friends infront of a friends brownstone talking. A radio was playing on 97.8 kiss fm. When adruptly an announcement came on. We're sorry to interupt this program. R&B soul singer Phyllis Hyman has died of an apparent suicide. In her down town New York apartment. Within a second the conversation went silenced. There was a moment of silence on the radio & between me & my group of friends. Young & old we all was touched by her angelic voice. That night I went home & listen to every recording I had of her. Watch every vhs recording of her. Ran out to purchase her last studio album. To this day Phyllis Hyman remains a legend in her on right & in my ❤. Her songs told the story my life, her own & so many others. Ever miss, never forgotten.

Why is everything SELF worth problem cure-all for every one? Not mad I just want us to think before we rereregirgitate this psyche lingo. Self esteem doesn't work or fix anything that's why the powers that be feed us that nonsense all day. Are us BLK wmn in disarray cause self esteem? Or is it set up that way before birth. Could it be our group is against i and holds is in a low esteem. Could it be we don't have race a culture or community to work it. At which point is a human communal being supposed to break?????? And self esteem be blamed. We are literally unlike anyone else on the planet told to function spiritual ly with no arms or legs The kind of help we need can't be found in self esteem, nor psychiatry or help. There is nothing innate about women that makes them predominantly inherantly damaged. Then problem is the outside it's more necessary that the inside.

She didn't kill herself I don't believe that. I believe her and Clive couldn't make it work because she had a mind of her own he couldn't control her, so he bumped her off for Whitney at that time Whitney was brand new 19 Phyllis just a tad older but still creme of the crop. That industry especially concerning blacks they want TOTAL control much like slavery. Don't believe the report first thing it's not true. I think she was having difficulty in her career choices but they always say these people are depressed, bipolar, schizophrenic it's a lie. I can't imagine the impossible monsters they all face, that's why most don't make it to the top they all have to compromise and dive into deep darkness.

@@serious7179 it's a legit question but for me no I usually don't believe because Hollywood is all smoke screen and mirrors our government too. Do some research and you'll see, as I have and have actually known someone in those societys. They have to compromise themselves in ways that to the "normal" human would seem unthinkable. They like to do everything by the numbers. Just as surely as Christ gave his life for others to be saved (sacrificed). The satanic Hollywood requires by way of Satan sacrifices for the wealth and prosperity of the celebrity. This is for a short period of time it's a contract and eventually Satan comes to collect. Check out James brown who literally did a commercial seeking Satan to renew his contract and get "more time". Bob Dylan interview was dead serious when he said he sold his soul to write and play like he did and get rich and said he's "holding up his end of the bargain with the El Capitan in this world and OTHER world's" meaning the unseen spiritual world. Is it possible people have killed themselves? Yes, however based upon the knowledge I've received in that world it's unlikely for most. Don't take my word for it seek it out yourself there's information everywhere.

I went over to her and I told her how much I admired her and loved her music, and how gorgeous she looked that night. I'm so glad I got that chance because they don't make real ladies with real talent like that anymore. Heaven got an angel with an angelic voice when she passed.

Like Late Supreme Florence Ballard she found herself against a powerful machine that devours the artists it uses. She was on Ebony/Jet showcase, Arsenio Hall and various shows openly sharing her depression and distaste for the music industry machine.

"Living all alone" "Do for love (tried everything but you don't give love)" and now this "I refuse to be lonely" the woman was terribly lonely on her own and these songs were a cry for help. I even saw her on an interview once saying how she thought she'd be married with kids by now but it hasn't happened and she looked really sad when saying it. Some people just can't handle being lonely and so maybe that's why she killed herself, that's just my theory.

If Phyllis Hyman was still alive today I would love to see her perform . Phyllis died when I just turn 3 years old my mom was already graduating from high school. I started to listen to Phyllis Hyman when I was 17 ; when Tvone did an Unsung episode of her. may Queen Phyllis forever Rest In Heaven🙏🙏

Weather it was drugs, depression or both mixed with a bit of something else to me at least (At Least) it seems by this time around she was very tired and not as happy, spunky, and more of a glow just a few years earlier like 91' and especially maybe 86' still beautiful woman and she still remains one of the most underrated vocalist of all time 💯💯💯💯💯

That's actually the opposite of how she felt. The thing that agitated her was her inability to remember her lines (a symptom of chronic depression) and she'd became jealous of her understudy bcuz she actually did break her foot on set. The show itself did poor in ratings and lacked proper funding to the point of cancellation. She'd even offered to help fund the project with her own money, but the production did not work. She'd actually looked forward to the production.

So hard to watch this because it was only 1 year later that Phyllis took her life. She was just so tired and would eat for comfort when depressed. In this video, this is a reflection (beautiful no matter what size) but just saying that she was an emotional eater. My heart breaks that she felt so alone and so tired of the same ‘ole, same ‘ole. 😔💔

Hmmmm I would have loved Phylis to have lived. She was such a diverse artist. She easily could play Aretha Franklin. Broadway experience plus her acting ability she says dialog is problem for her but I feel she would have conquered it. the actual looks she has resemble the Queen. She could have played the blues out of Etta James as well. Phylis is so so missed.
