Biography by Ron Wynn: Phyllis Hyman began her career as a silky voiced, jazz-influenced singer and gradually moved into slick, heavily produced urban contemporary ballads and light dance numbers. Hyman won a scholarship to music school and then began her professional career with the group New Direction in 1971. When they disbanded after a national tour, Hyman joined the Miami ensemble All the People. She also worked there with another local group, the Hondo Beat, and appeared in the film Lenny. That was followed by a two-year stint heading Phyllis Hyman & the P/H Factor, before relocating to New York. Hyman did background vocals on Jon Lucien's Premonition LP and built her reputation performing in New York clubs. Norman Connors made her his featured vocalist in the mid-'70s, and she was highlighted on a cover of the Stylistics' "Betcha By Golly Wow," which appeared on Connors' You Are My Starship LP. Hyman also sang withPharaoh Sanders & the Fatback Band while cutting two singles as a lead artist. Buddah released Phyllis Hyman in 1977, but she really began making an impression when she was signed by Arista the next year. The songs "Somewhere in My Lifetime" and "You Know How to Love Me" both made the R&B Top 20. Hyman got her lone Top Ten hit in 1981 with "Can't We Fall in Love Again," but her albums did consistently well through the '80s. The production teams ofMtume/Reggie Lucas and Narada Michael Walden/Thom Bell gave her material that showcased her skill with ...

Phyllis Hyman & Billy Preston Promote Blues Bar (September 1994) I've had this video in my possession for a few years now. This is its first "airing," so to speak, on youtube. Phyllis is my favorite vocalist. I know I'm not the only one that truly misses her musical presence, so that's the main reason why I'm posting this video. And of course I can't take anything away from the late great Billy Preston either. Blues Bar, a stage play starring Phyllis Hyman and Billy Preston, made its way to Dallas, TX in September 1994. This video includes Phyllis singing "I Refuse To Be Lonely," plus an impromptu performance of "Nothing From Nothing" by both Billy and Phyllis. DISCLAIMER: No copyright infringement intended.

Not sure about the details. Looks like some big charity variety show. Notice Patrick Duffy from Dallas introducing Phyllis. She sings it with sooo much feeling and soul. God bless PH.

Donnie Simpson talks further with the legendary Phyllis Hyman (1949-1995) about her career. This was filmed just before the release of her 'Prime of My Life' album. Rest in peace.
'Souvenirs' is a song featured on the late Phyllis Hyman's 1998 posthumous album 'Forever With You.' The making of this video is in no way meant to be political or even offensive. It simply connects the African American experience with the election of President Obama. There are many stories of struggle to be told in American history as it relates to women and also other minorities; the African American experience is certainly one of them. Listed below, I have included the lyrics to the song as well as dates for the historical timeline of images presented. As always, Thank You for watching. * A SPECIAL THANKS TO ERIC FOR PROVIDING THE SONG LYRICS * "Souvenirs" [Verse 1] Deep in the corners of my mind Are the treasures of my life Fresh and still brand new Times that I turned dark into light Every bout with wrong and right They're a part of me that'll never fade from view [Chorus] Souvenirs All the crazy things that happened through the years The laughter and the tears Souvenirs My collection of the triumphs and the fears They're all so very clear Souvenirs [Verse 2] Now as a new chapter unfolds My heart will always hold A memory chest of gold Few with every twist and turn The lessons I have learned Seems to keep us young instead of old [Chorus] Souvenirs All the crazy things that happened Through the years The laughter and the tears Souvenirs My collection of the triumphs and the fears They're all so very clear Souvenirs [Guitar Break] [Bridge] Souvenirs Remind us of the ...

The early 90's see a new success for Phyllis Hyman with the release of "Don't Want to Change the World" but things soon went downhill.
At the age of 16, "Living Inside Your Love" was my first introduction to Phyllis Hyman's fast paced musical sound. Usually known for signature love ballads, "Living Inside Your Love" is a quick tempo sexy song that leaves little to the imagination. This is my 3rd video tribute to the lovely Ms. Hyman. Please sit back and enjoy as Phyllis lives inside your love!
