They do ... you’re just not listening to the right stuff. Rather than going based on mainstream music, it’s not that hard to download Spotify or Apple Music and you’ll easily find new artists playlists. Also, there’s sub genres and categories to R&B...
@@Das644 it doesn’t have to be mainstream … it was limited in the 2000s and they basically pushed the sound anyway. But does that mean they don’t do stuff like this anymore? No. It just means that the radios/labels are shutting these songs/voices out. And the consumers aren’t making it any better by feeding into the narrative that the music isn’t there

Whitney was a great singer, but she wasn't really a live performer. I think of her more of a studio singer. Luther and Phyllis could do, and did, lots of concerts. @@kevinodonkor4123
Whoever dislikes her, you are crazy and should be ashamed of yourself. Clearly this woman is a wonderful singer and she is super talented. R.I.P. Phyllis Hyman
Whitney isn’t “good” she is GREAT… Phyllis is boring that’s why she had hardly any success in sales and songs. She has passion but no vocal presence. Whitney tells a story when she sings and never does the same version twice. That’s a true artist there. Phyllis was a emotionally filled singer with lack of vocal clarity and substance. She is good for one genre and one genre only and that’s Jazz. Whitney could do it all
No one sings or dresses like this anymore. Her style, singing, whistling & stage presence is impeccable! Come on, we're still waiting for a biopic. Keke Wyatt are you available? Love from New York ❤️
This lady was simply unbeatable when it comes to emotions, hard to believe that a human being had such highlevel talent. Arguably one of the ultimate musical performance ever.
This makes me cry every time I hear it and it makes me think of the night I heard of her passing. The news reporter at the time Larry Kane, who was also a friend of hers was almost in tears when he reported it.😢. When I think of all the times I saw her on the street on South St. and down town Philly, I wish I could go back and just hug her. Rest in Paradise beautiful lady. You're singing with the angels now.😔
Phyllis Hyman! There is only 1 Phyllis Hyman! No one in my personal opinion could ever compare to her singing ability, her beauty, her display of fabulous outfits she wears, and I could never leave this part out, my girl Phyllis, I have never seen anyone who could wear hats the way this lady does. She will always be #1 in my book, always. Her voice is just so soothing and so hypnotizng, in a very good and special way. After anyone listens to her the very first time, hey you are automatically hooked to this beautiful and talented woman. Phyllis, I really do miss you so very much and I really wish you were still around today. There was one artist,but I shall not call the name, that stole one of your poses off of one of your album covers, but it didn't work though, they did not have the effect, charisma charm, beauty, or grace that you have. All your fans miss you very dearly. You may not physically be here with us, but in my heart and in my mind, your beauty, your voice, your charm, and those beautiful eyes, I shall never forget. Rest in Peace beautiful woman, and get the well deserved rest you need!
You right about that getting hooked on her - I just heard her name for the very first time yesterday. I haven't been able to stop listening to her since then.
RIP pittsburgh's own Ms Hyman, god she was in alot of inner pain she put her soul in this clip I didn't know she was whistling on here, and Billy Preston is killing that Church organ.
How could an absolutely beautiful talented artist like Phyllis Hyman be gone nearly 26 years . We where so lucky to have sophisticated artists like Jean Carne , Angela Bofill, Anita Baker etc. And in 1995 this wonderful women felt the need to take her own life. When you watch this mesmerising performance you can see the pain and unhappiness, you see the facade fall, that whistle along made the hairs on my back rise , she was a one of a kind , depression is a deeply destructive illness and we was robbed of this talent. I watch this and feel sad , but I remember her performance in London and the power and emotional of her voice , it was a privilege to see her….. RIP Phyllis Hyman , your music will be forever remembered and never forgotten 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
She said "yesterday! Was somebody's baby, now today I'm a woman on my own"She clearly was lonely and depressed.She had problems with her weight and with people stealing her money.All she wanted was to have the love of her life and touch us with good music,she did the latter part.depression is real and we should take it more serious. I am currently winning my battle with depression.
Just heard her name from some comment on another UA-cam video and thought I'd look her up. WoW!! She dropped me dead in my tracks - I couldn't stop listening to her - it seemed there was nothing more important in the whole wide world than to listen to Phyllis Hyman. I didn't care all of a sudden about the big old stack of bills I should be paying - forgot my lunch - forgot my afternoon medications - just fell through a hole and landed in the Phyllis Hyman universe!! I have to listen to this song every day.
I'm a screenwriter. Hyman was suffering from bi-polar personality. In a Jet magazine interview regarding her ex-husband she said "...I made him not want me..." RIH Legend Phyllis Hyman 🙏🏿❤️😢🌹
2023 I miss her still. This song (the whole album actually) got me through a really rough 11 years from 1986 to 1997. I cry when I listen to the effortless beauty that emanates from this gorgeous gorgeous woman. R.I.P. Phyllis Hyman Queen 💔
THE LIFE, THE LOVE, THE PAIN, OF TRULY FEELING ALONE. NOT HAVING THAT ONE PERSON YOU TRULY DEEPLY LOVED. THE ONLY PERSON THAT LOVED YOU AND YOU FELT IT, NEVER TO FEEL IT AGAIN. THE BUSINESS YOU NEVER REALLY WANTED TO GET INTO, BUT ONCE IN YOUR IN. SHE IS A CANCER SIGN AND CANCERS ARE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE CREATURES AND GET HURT VERY QUICKLY, AND THAT HURT AND PAIN STAYS. IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE. EVER! SHE SETTLED FOR SOMEONE TO BE WITH JUST BECAUSE SHE WAS TIRED OF BEING ALONE, BUT IT WASN'T TRUE LOVE. SHE SAYS COME BACK TO ME JHON IF YOU LISTEN CLOSELY. I LOVE YOU PHYLLIS HYMAN! I AM YOU IN SO MANY WAY'S, AND I AM AN AQUARIUS. So misunderstood and so lonely. No one ever see's the inside just the exterior, which usually is always together. Lord only knows what happened the day you were found dead. But I'm sure your happy now. 😢😘 I truly love you. You are greatly magnificent in your god given gift! Thank you for sharing it with the world. Those who know of you are truly blessed to be apart of your legacy. Thank you so much. May god keep you always. Amen.
I am still listening to this song, January 26, 2020. RAP is NOT music. It is people talking fast almost like poetry. Music is someone that can sing and sound good. I am a 1955 baby and growing up in the 60's & 70's, I listened to artists that could sing like the Delfonics, Moments, Black Ivory, Blue Magic, Spinners, Temptations, the Supremes, Jackson 5, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, War, Minnie Ripperton, Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Diana Ross, DIONNE WARWICK, NATALIE COLE, Roberta Flack, Phyllis Hyman, Donny Hathaway, The Chi-Lites, The O'Jays, The Miracles, The Stylistics, The Dramatics, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Heatwave, Luther Vandross, Melba Moore, Martha & the Vandellas, and Ray, Goodman, & Brown. These are just a few great black artists that truly can sing. RAP should NOT be included at the Grammy's. They should have a special awards show for RAP artists. As I write this, I am listening to Phyllis Hyman. This woman was underrated. RIP Ms. Hyman. Listen to this woman's voice on live television. What a voice! ua-cam.com/video/7rV_fI0Tmzs/v-deo.html
Gets me right here in the heart each && every time I see this vid! Whew...U felt every bit of her heartbreak && pain...loneliness! Gone way too soon! (Crushed) Rest In Eternal Peace!
She was giving us a message, in this song.Ms.Hyman is totally engrossed in this song, and the whistling added even more dynamics, to her performance!! Art imitating life....a prime example( just my humble opinion) Such a God- gifted vocalist, gone but truly not forgotten.Ms.Hyman and Brother Preston on the organ, what a combination....2 Legends, what a stellar performance✨✨✨✨
That woman had a beautiful powerful voice on her. She belts out my favorite song by her with the greatest of ease. True genius. God rest her soul. She really did leave here far too soon. I love you always. You will never be matched in beauty or song. I know heaven is gonna be jumpin with beautiful music.
As a kid I never really understood the message that was in her songs, but I always felt as though there was something behind what she was conveying in the words. Now I fully can grasp what she was feeling and what she was saying. Legendary and an Unmistakable Talent that was raw and very real.
Well wow, I don't have the words, the gifts of the creator are wonderful to behold - Seems like we had most of the Generational talent in the 80s & 90s!!
Love me , some Phyllis Hyman, can't put Whitney Down at all, they both were my girls. Wonderful talent, both are so beautiful, and had the ability to make you feel, what their singing. Everybody don't sing like that. RIP Phyllis, miss, you and Whitney , tremendously. That was one of my favorites, living all alone. I live alone to, can be a lonely world, if you entertain the loneliness, Gotta stay busy on positive things, in order not to get depressed. We love you lady, wish you could come back to us, but God will take care of you.
I'm so hurt that at to this time I was into Janet Jackson , young Whitney Houston, and Karen White and here a mature lady discovering this beautiful Diva 🕊️🤍🕯️ Continued Rest Beautiful Legendary Phillis Hyman🦢
My baby! I have loved this woman since before I was old enough to understand. I was twelve when she passed and I'll never forget that day. Sleep easy my sweet Phyllis. You can finally get rid of those demons.
Sad that loneliness and depression robbed us of such a beautiful talent and truly beautiful voice.
Love Her
Wish I could've experienced her more when I was little coming up this song is what's really drew me to her a couple years ago just hearing her sing this song I could tell she wanted to be understood and loved on a very personal level fr fr
@@SB-pg6uf mmm
wat happened to her?
@@marquishalsell I actually got the privilege seeing her live in concert back in the day. She really put on a good performance.
She was LIVING those lyrics...Phyllis you are very much missed!!
YES SHE WAS !
My heart aches for her!!! You can hear the pain in these lyrics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is missed !!!
Ra-mel Milton 😢
Yes, that is all I can see and hear in this song is her pain!!! Like how did anyone miss it
The way she whistles! I've never seen anything like it!
It is an instrument, it's her voice.
Vishaal Dokras true
it's her voice
Vishaal Dokras right...that is amazing 😱😱😍
LORD!!!!!
they don't sing like this anymore . .....just a beast love it
Facts
Daphne L McBride agreed
They do ... you’re just not listening to the right stuff. Rather than going based on mainstream music, it’s not that hard to download Spotify or Apple Music and you’ll easily find new artists playlists. Also, there’s sub genres and categories to R&B...
@@MarquesTheProducer that lot be using auto tune as a pillar. Real good singing isn’t a thing anymore especially in mainstream
@@Das644 it doesn’t have to be mainstream … it was limited in the 2000s and they basically pushed the sound anyway. But does that mean they don’t do stuff like this anymore? No. It just means that the radios/labels are shutting these songs/voices out. And the consumers aren’t making it any better by feeding into the narrative that the music isn’t there
i always felt she was baring her very soul when she sang this. Moves me to tears. R.I.P gone too soon.
Maria Hardy So touching. Makes you want to cry. Beautiful singer
I remember watching this video, and thought man this is rough. She is missed
@@Ldydrmmer You should've heard it live. 😢
Her songs took her away from us. 🙏🏻
"There used to be a time in my life when we were lovers
And we shared this apartment together just us two
I think of how we planned to get married
Saying love how I used to know you well
Whoa whoa I can't stand this living all alone
Whoa whoa I can't stand this living all alone
Oh I don't want to be alone
Now I live a single life and I find it's another world
I'm not even the same I'm a different girl
Yesterday I was somebody's baby
Now today I'm a woman on my own
Whoa whoa I can't stand this living all alone
Whoa whoa I can't stand this living all alone
It feels good to have somebody hold you tight
It feels good to have somebody love you right
Who will end all my long and lonely nights?
Whoa whoa I can't stand this living all alone

You can see the pain her eyes. So sad. Rip
Yes you can see the pain in her eyes every time she looked in the camera.
Right before she goes to whistle, it looks like she was ready to break down then. She resorted to whistling to keep from losing it.
Antoinet Lake Yeah I could tell because she was going through so much but I know she's don't have to suffer the pain no more
Antoinet Lake she’s amaaaaaazing
Lara O'neal I miss her sooo much,i regret not seeing her in concert 😢
Antoinet Lake no that’s the song. She whistles it wasn’t a last resort
Whistling is in the song.
At 2:29 she starts a whistle that no other woman I've heard has so beautifully blended into her own song. TALENT shows its virtue!
For real tho! I had that exact same thought. She had that something extra.
What makes that special is Billy Preston playing along with her notes on the organ, adding to it.
I can actually whistle like this… and I grew up listening to Phyllis. I was thinking of remaking this song, it would be such an honor.
@@ULoveJanie You actually took this comment about Phyllis and made it all about you. 🙄
Way to disrespect a legend. 🤦🏻♀️
Whew....Ms. Hyman YOU are missed and I wish YOU knew that you are NOT ALONE!!!!
He was ALWAYS near!!!!
The way her and whitney SANG it was like they were telling a story of how they really felt😭😭😪 its so sad to lose gifts like this
Note that she was dropped by her records to give way to Whitney.
@@paullacap9494 Yes cos Clive Davis could never handle a strong woman. We're all ear witnesses to what Whitney had to say about Clive Davis.
Her,and Whitney
Those two stand alone on the apex of the mountain(in my opinion).....with Luther,for sure.
Whitney was a great singer, but she wasn't really a live performer. I think of her more of a studio singer. Luther and Phyllis could do, and did, lots of concerts. @@kevinodonkor4123
damn, I feel her pain, sitting here crying looking at this
kevin davis isotope
herpaintoo
“I’m not even the same, I’m a different girl. Yesterday, I was somebody’s baby now today I’m a woman on my own” God, I break at this part
This is a masterpiece of a performance!
Kenneth Vidales - Definitely a MASTERPIECE
Well said.
Yes indeed
Whoever dislikes her, you are crazy and should be ashamed of yourself. Clearly this woman is a wonderful singer and she is super talented. R.I.P. Phyllis Hyman
Dionn Spriggs Absolutely!
33 people can handle living all alone.
SHE GIVES ME CHILLS OMG!! THE RICHNESS OF HER VOICE IS UNMATCHED, MIC TECHNIQUE IMPECCABLE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Still listening in 2024.
To the 43 ppl with a thumbs down yall got serious issues
Fuck ‘em!!
They don't know real music!!
The video freezes, so it's not actualliy live performance. You just hear the singing if you didn't notice.
Now that’s a real whistle, not just a high note, and she did it masterfully! Rest in Power
No one sings or dresses like this anymore. Her style, singing, whistling & stage presence is impeccable! Come on, we're still waiting for a biopic. Keke Wyatt are you available? Love from New York ❤️
Right!!! She would kill it
🧐 I’m team Jasmine Sullivan 😎
Shoulda been made i feel like Vanessa Williams would have done her justice similar vocal tones...but just let Phyllis sing while Vanessa acts
This lady was simply unbeatable when it comes to emotions, hard to believe that a human being had such highlevel talent.
Arguably one of the ultimate musical performance ever.
Tell Clive Davis that. He kicked Phyllis to the curve and and signed Whitney
@@patriciarose2672cause Whitney was pop and sellable bumble gum lacking depth at first

I love her singing

You right about that getting hooked on her - I just heard her name for the very first time yesterday. I haven't been able to stop listening to her since then.

I wish she could've found the peace of mind and the true love that she desired I love her beauty and talent
