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
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.😔
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
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
Just heard her name from some comment on another RUclips 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.
Paul James I saw her ice in a club I Chgo. Zandt she sang Spanish to me it was the most beautiful moment just listening to her singing to me. She told me she didn't speak spanish but I told her you are so beautiful and a unique. May me very happy. She help any people with HIV. God bless her always I will.miss her always. Thank you miss PHYLLIS. RIP
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.
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.
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✨✨✨✨
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.
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 🙏🏿❤️😢🌹
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!
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 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
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.
"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 Whoa whoa I can't stand this living all alone Oh, I don't want to be 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?

Come back to me Ooh yeah Oh I, I don't want to be alone" 1986. Album: Living All Alone. Songwriters: Kenneth Gamble / Cynthia De Mari Biggs / Dexter Gilman Wansel
Flawless. No other words apply. That cry at 4:11 - she lived and felt every note. Some people feel very deeply and we usually lose them way too early. xoxo
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! ruclips.net/video/7rV_fI0Tmzs/видео.html
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.
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.
THE INCOMPARABLE PHYLLIS HYMAN!!!!!....Did she just whistle that song??????? OMG!!!. I'm still missing you girl!!!....There's NO ONE ELSE like her!....RIP QUEEN PHYLLIS 💔💔😢😢
Isn't she incredible? I just discovered her a couple weeks ago. Her name should be as well known as Whitney's. I actually think she's better because she's got more soul in her singing.
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 💔
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.
Phyllis Hyman was right up there with Whitney Houston. Had she had wanted to delve into other genres, her sheer and in-depth talent would have easily allowed her to cross over to a variety of arenas. Sadly, the Entertainment business is a sick and manipulating world. It can make or break just about anyone. Although Whitney Houston is my all time favorite female vocalist, if Phyllis would have been provided with just 1/10th of the support and resources that Clive Davis made available to Whitney, she too would have become a household name. In addition, when it comes to smooth jazz, It would be criminal if anyone says that Phyllis doesn’t shine supreme over Whitney in this specific area of music.
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🦢
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.
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!!!!!
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
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.
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
To the 43 ppl with a thumbs down yall got serious issues
Fuck ‘em!!
They don't know real music!!
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. 😢
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
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. 🤦🏻♀️
“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
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.
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
😂 My man on the bass in the back with the white jacket on is just groovin his ass off 😂😂😂😂
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
The 3:30 to the end mark was her REAL CRY of LONELINESS AND HURT 😢
This is a masterpiece of a performance!
Kenneth Vidales - Definitely a MASTERPIECE
Well said.
Yes indeed
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.😔
The pinnacle of performances. It does not get better than this.
Daphne L McBride True
Whitney houston is the ultimate performer sir
@@cranks24 Whitney was good. This is something different.
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.

damn, I feel her pain, sitting here crying looking at this
kevin davis isotope
herpaintoo
When she said “I love you and I need you (COME BACKKKKKKK TO MEEEEE)
2:18 "I don't want to be alone"😢😢I could feel it for her
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.
Now that’s a real whistle, not just a high note, and she did it masterfully! Rest in Power
I love!!! Mrs. Phyllis Hyman vocals. She can sing!! and that whistling was amazing!!!! RIP beautiful!! talented Mrs. Hyman. You are missed.
Just heard her name from some comment on another RUclips 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.
She put her foot in this song. I've never seen anything like this. She was incredible
I just love that part when she whistles. RIP Phyllis Hyman
You know it's good when the band are clapping.
She was bigger than life. Singers simply don't emote like this anymore.
that is how you sing a dam song she became the song got dammit
That whistle is crazy
RIP Aunti... Born: July 6, 1949,
Died: June 30, 1995
*I will always be just a little broken because of how she left this earth… I am one of her biggest fans. Rest now Queen* ❤
She has the late Billy Preston backing her.

SHE GIVES ME CHILLS OMG!! THE RICHNESS OF HER VOICE IS UNMATCHED, MIC TECHNIQUE IMPECCABLE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
She said "yesterday!

when she say "I can't stand this living all alone" my heart pound's
I wish she could've found the peace of mind and the true love that she desired I love her beauty and talent
Everybody was on fire this day!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥 Her! That band!❤❤❤
Now THIS is what music is all about! Such a powerful force!

The lady was a Beast🙈🙌
I never heard anyone Sing that perfect Live 🥰💯💤💤
I agree; outside of Luther VanDross and Whitney Houston. Phyllis just does it with such deep and powerful Soul.
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✨✨✨✨
Voice of an angel I wish somebody could of help her and love her she wanted to be loved.

sweet voice,strong singer
She was in a lot pain when she sung that song! 😞
women singers today cant do it like that...u KNEW she was lonesome 😞
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 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
That was greatness at its best
Songbird, you are greatly missed!!!
RIP Phyllis, u are not alone anymore....
All that talent and emotion has me on the edge of my seat! Gah dam!
A songbird indeed.
Her live performances are amazing 😉, they don’t make them like this anymore!
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.

Definitely my favorite part of the song. I heard this years ago and it's never left my memory. I always come back to this video to hear it
Phyllis in concert was an amazing experience, up close 1986 remember well this classic performance, incredibly great singer gone too soon...
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.

Very unique beautiful voice❤ I'm 46 and this is my first time ever hearing this woman sing
Isn't she incredible? I just discovered her a couple weeks ago. Her name should be as well known as Whitney's. I actually think she's better because she's got more soul in her singing.
Thank that Jerk, Clive Davis, for you not hearing of her. He ruined her career just as he has done so many others!
Awesome live vocals.
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 💔
Talent like hers was so rare. Always missed. Never forgotten 💟💔 [PS Eat your heart out Bey]
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.
A very big part of super talent like this is a double edged sword. She LIVED the life that ultimately TOOK her life ... Like Amy Winehouse etc
wait wait wait wait, wait ! did she whistle into the microphone like that!!? Damn 🔥
slayed...mic drop
THIS WAS ONE BAD CHICK!!! SAD SHE DIDNT REALIZE THE GREATEST LOVE IS TO LOVE YOURSELF. TRULY GIFTED AND MISSED!!!❤
Still in 2023 ❤
what a song full of emotions and feelings
One of the greatest vocalists of all time who never got the recognition that she deserved.R.I.P.Phyllis Hyman.
Phyllis Hyman was right up there with Whitney Houston. Had she had wanted to delve into other genres, her sheer and in-depth talent would have easily allowed her to cross over to a variety of arenas.
Sadly, the Entertainment business is a sick and manipulating world. It can make or break just about anyone.
Although Whitney Houston is my all time favorite female vocalist, if Phyllis would have been provided with just 1/10th of the support and resources that Clive Davis made available to Whitney, she too would have become a household name.
In addition, when it comes to smooth jazz, It would be criminal if anyone says that Phyllis doesn’t shine supreme over Whitney in this specific area of music.
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🦢
