    I was devastated about how she left us. I wrote a song about her. Was going to submit it for a tribute special. Never did. Her greatest vocal performance in my opinion was "Meet me on the moon". She is arguably the greatest R&B female vocalist of the 20th century.

      In the words of the also late great Nancy Wilson who said she was driving on one of the freeways in California when she first heard Phyllis Hyman on the radio and she said " Here is a Young Woman with a Great Instrument". The very first time I heard Phyllis Hyman I was truly mesmerized... I kept on and on until I found out the woman who sang " Ain't You Had Enough Love".. ❤.. And, the rest is history😉..

      @@maryrobinson4131 In the liner notes of Phyllis' final album I Refuse To Be Lonely Nancy Wilson mentions "Phyllis had the greatest instrument, the greatest pipes". She also mentions an incomplete "project" with her and Phyllis that "hopefully can be finished and released" (or something to that effect). I called Phyllis' former manager who had her number listed in that CD or somewhere to inquire about that project. She essentially hung up the phone on me. If you see her in interviews, etc. she exudes this attitude everywhere and can't hide it. How Phyllis had a connection with her I'll never understand as I knew Phyllis personally and she was the most down to earth "real" person you'd ever know. Anyway, I guess we'll never know about that "project".

    I got hooked onto this album 30 years ago as a managment trainee in a retail store. At first I thought (that although Phyllis had a great voice) that the album was a lightweight. You have to study this album by listening to each lyric from the beginning to the end. Phyllis was screaming out on this album about the personal agony she was living through! There are not many singers that have the ability of translating raw emotion (pain) through their recordings. At this moment I can only think of a handful of female singers with this ability: Laura Lee, Aretha Franklin, Dianne Reeves, and Phyllis Hyman. Only if more heard her recordings and expressed their gratitude for her talent............
