Oh my gosh. Absolutely.

THAT PART‼️💯

Really?!! You got to meet a lot of great, talented people too!!

Do you remember meeting En Vogue ?

Great shows back then...

Ok explains why I can only hear out the left of my headphones🤷🏾‍♀️🤣

@@t33mccullough15 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rick Woosley You hit the nail on the head, Rick. Image over substance has taken over the music, at least the mainstream music, we get exposed to for a very long time now.

Rick Woosley You used to be able to have the best of both worlds back in the 80s and 90s though. Great singers who sold records e.g. Whitney, Mariah, Luther, etc. Its not like that now.

jammyjammer2015 That's a very good point!

@@jamstrings100 True...maybe because labels aren't pressured to present quality anymore...what matters now is streaming figers...no one buys records anymore...so, what's the point in presenting quality if what counts is KZfaq clicks...anyone can do it...

@@SmartRobot-wc2fb Quality is quality and the clicks will follow.

@Lisa crawford Hi👋🏼 I want to first thank you for sharing how you feel. It's important to me that I always respect the opinions of others. We are all entitled to our own opinion & I value that understanding. I understand that our perceptions create a different reality for each & every one of us. Our perceptions are a result of the totality of the experiences we've had throughout our lives, which is instrumental in molding our reality. We all live in a different realm of understanding based upon our perceptions of reality. I've typed all of these things to acknowledge both of our ideas, though they are different. It's important for all of us to be aware of the need to normalize being respectful to differences in points of view. I've personally observed all of the traits I've shared in my observation of this artist & I respect that you don't see the qualities I've written about with regard to this artist. I respect your opinion & your point of view. Thanks again for sharing your view point with me.

Yes. Absolutely.

renee xuereb amen she was incomparable!!!

Gordon Brock I agree

Gordon Brock yessuh, teen summit, screne scene, sherry cater would fill in for donnie too. that animated chic cita, good ol days

Definitely was one of the best EVER! Her voice was magical

b.e.t. are colorists

Bnizzofashizzo yes

Read her biography "Strength of a Woman" that has her relatives, lawyer, manager speak on how Phyllis was bi polar and ruined her opportunities with Clive Davis, Steven Spielberg, Bill Cosby and Mtume who wrote her biggest hit "You Know How to Love Me". She had many chances to make money but earned a reputation as being difficult and worse.

Abomb110285 why?

Wow i wasn't born until 90 and my brother 97 but wow god has you here for a reason!!!

***** Jill Scott is still young. She is only 42 and she have aged beautifully. Jill would make a great Phyllis Hyman.

I think Jazmine Sullivan would be better option to play Phyllis. Jackee Harry from Sister Sister and 227 would be a good actress choice.

Jsimm100 Yess Jazmine would be a perfect choice for Phyllis Hyman.

I think Chrisette Michelle should play her especially because of her voice.

I think KEKE Wyatt should play her. She can sing and really looks like her.

😂😢

Um,.... WHAT! Maybe if you tilt your head to the side and squint. If you do that then they could be second cousins 😉

Um,.... WHAT! She sure does!

Na Jazmine has almost all her mannerisms. Including voices that favor. They even interview the same.

The green-eyed bandit Donnie Simpson is 65 now

Avitas3000 yes

I’ll do it

based off not only talent but look and personality i would say jazmine sulivan. jazmine is a little darker but everything else about her including height is very similar to phyllis. i'm not sure if shes ever acted though. but thats the only person i can see.

@@KingAlone516 Phyllis was a very complex woman. I would prefer a regular actress opposed to a singer. Maybe an unknown Broadway actress. I think Tracee Ellis Ross could play her. Phyllis' voice also can't be duplicated. Having the actress lip sync to her original recordings would be the best choice.

I'd love to see the actress Paulette Braxton in the role as Phyllis. She has the beauty, height, and her complexion is similar to Phyllis. I hope Phyllis's estate will permit the use of Phyllis's actual recordings.

Keke Wyatt.

????

yup she came with the flowers for her

It just doesn"t make any sense! She was so beautiful!

When you're depressed you always try to hide it because you don't want people to worry about you yet at the same time you do, you just want them to really catch it without you saying anything. I tell you man beauty, money, fame, and having a lot of friends is great but at the same time you can still feel lonely as ever.

Well I wish I could've done something for her before it got to that point.

Creed Justice Tbh with you, I wish I could too...

Mental illness is just that , a simple man couldn't fill the void Ms Hyman had I believe salvation could of came in children adopted maybe or being a advisor for young African American talent getting into the industry she had a purpose beyond music it's a shame she took her life before she realized the magnitude of her importance to her community.

miss phyllis was not a bishh how dare you you better respect this classy lady or dont comment at all lol

She sure does

Espesially in the cheeks and eyes!

sware84 lol

+jammyjammer2015 i think so she didnt like Whitney houston.

I disagree with that I listened to the guy who wrote her biography and he said she had bitterness toward whitney. Yes I agree with her feelings for clive she didnt like him. She was so manipulated and used. Actually the interview is on youtbe you should give it a listen

Whitney and Mariah could actually sing. I think she was referring to people like Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul, who were both really hot at the time. They weren't very good singers but they had other things in place to help them sell huge amounts of records in spite of their limited vocal ability.

No. I think she probably meant the industry in general. Think Milli Vanilli. That kind of throw away garbage music was rampant back then. Lots of one hit wonders and videos were more important than the damn songs back then. And lip synching went buckwild.

None of those ladies you mention measure up to Phyllis... Except Jazmine Sullivan
