She was gorgeous and her eyes tell her story. Bi-polar depression is no joke. I know. I suffer with it myself and two high school classmates of mine took their own lives as a result of living with this illness. Another famous example of someone losing their life to bi-polar depression is Lee Thompson Young. This is a very difficult, misunderstood disorder to live with. The depressive states are very painful and paralyzing. Rest in peace beautiful ❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience. So many people suffer in silence thinking they’re alone. Praying for your healing. God bless.
Pls did you see her medical records say bi polar was cause of death.
Bless you ♥️
@@DBanks921 thank you 🙏🏽
@@mkedee824 thank you 🙏🏽
Clive’s Davis seems to be responsible for a lot of our beautiful song birds deaths. Just a thought….🤔
I agree. He’s been a sinister character for a long time.
Clive seemed only interested in what they could do for him! He did not really have any interest in their well-being. Black women, “the industry” is really not the place for you! 💯
He is a demon
I had no idea. He was always portrayed as a mentor especially to Whitney Houston often providing her financial assistance. Man there's so many powerful evil men in the music industry. Blood suckers contributing to the early demise of our Angels.. rest in power Phyllis Hyman and Whitney Houston 🙏
He didn't force coke up her nose or hold her down while he poured booze down her.... Give her some credit for being a grown woman who made her own choices. Her childhood situation was much more harmful than Davis. RIP, Phyllis
A woman not wanting to have children has nothing to do with childhood issues. Some women just don't want kids, and we're allowed to not want kid's.
You are absolutely right.
In Phyllis's specific case, I think it did relate to her childhood. I think she feared she might repeat patterns as a possible parent because she was primarily focused on her personal career.
👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
You are absolutely correct.... I had a perfect childhood❤
that’s right. I love kids and I am an awesome teacher but never had a strong maternal desire for my own
Stop trying put your lackward approach on others
Phyllis Hyman forever will be one of the worlds best singers EVER!
Don't forget Whitney!
nope her best song was the heavy weight soul track baby im gone love you 1976 to 1977
a real soul tune better than all the crap pop stuff
Ever! So beautiful
The Tigress!@@biggmonie
Umm I disagree
A definite sacrifice‼️
“They sacrifice lives at the drop of a dime.” - Chaka Khan CNN quote
Clive Davis is like the Musical GOAT or Satan .
@@Rodney-fx8jf Yes. One in the same. The goat is Baphomet. He’s not the only one. Everyone in the industry is RUTHLESS. Hollywood and the upper echelons. Celebrities already gave us the playbook. Someone or ppl must lay down for you to come up. Jesuit Order‼️
I don't believe Phyllis was murdered. I saw Phyllis in the streets of New York drunk and high. I knew her demise was evident. Phyllis left Clive Davis years before she died. Now the death of Whitney Houston is a different story. That was a murder with the assistance of her own family....Pat and Gary Garland.
Unfortunately not all.
And. Ur. Not. Afraid. Too. Expose. Them.
She was a pretty lady. Had a great soulful voice
There are always predators who prey on people who are in distress. Lord help us all
I totally agree
Until you show them your sword.
Amen 🙏
Phyllis Hyman, Minnie Ripperton, Vesta Williams, Phoebe Snow and Marlena Shaw will always be the true R&B divas of the world. I loved them all. They each had their own sophisticated sounds, beauty and brains. They are truly missed. That's what true entertainer's look like. Rest well divas.
Arguably some of the Truest. The list is very long…. Not short on great talent. Ie Natalie, Angela, Chaka, Regina, Melissa Morgan……,,..,,.
And Angelà Bofill
Wow You Name The Badist of them all OMG I'm so happy to know Someone that really knows the true sophisticated sounds you just made my day 🌟🎉🍀💯
: Add Natalie Cole to that list of beautiful, soulful, and very talented ladies!
@@selennamarie9254 : As well as Stephanie Mills
A Phyllis Hyman biopic would be great
Jasmine Sullivan should play her!
Keke Wyatt could play her as well.
Keri Hilson or Jordan Sparks with their height Phyllis was tall
IVE BEEN Waiting..for it since she passed almost 40years Ago ‼️
Yes!! DEFINITELY JASMINE SULLIVAN
Soooo crazy how Whitney replaced her and literally followed her path yrs later
Yeah, it's crazy, and take a look at whose record label they both were on!!!!
FACTS ‼️
@@cynthiajones7608 Facts! That is what I have been saying for a long time. That she didn't kill herself. Anyone that goes against that devil Clive Davis will end up dead. Phyllis Hyman came out during the early "90's and was dead not long after that. Then here comes Whitney Houston, coincidence I think not.
Clive being the common denominator still.
That's the only path that clive "satan" davis knows
She cried out but no one heard her...very tragic.....a stern and strong blackwoman in the industry
Was anyone, anyone at all paying attention to her, I'm sure there were signs...
The sad part is that no matter what anyone does or does not do, if someone is really determined to leave, you can't stop them. RIP Miss Phyllis.
I had the opportunity to meet her in Philly during a break in a concert. She was beautiful and statuesque. Gorgeous on the outside and a gentle soul on the inside. On a bathroom break and Ms Hyman was kind enough to hold a conversation with me and others in the bathroom. I was so sad to hear of her passing.RIP Queen!
It's that stereotype of being the strong black woman.... beautiful, statuesque and wealthy.
That’s the music/entertainment industry. Look at the late great Florence Ballard. People call her an alcoholic, not taking into consideration that she was raped as a teenager. With no help whatsoever back then, in a time where she would have been annihilated in a courtroom. I’m sure that brought on depression. Did Motown care? The industry only cares about one thing: money!
This hit hard. I became a fan of her work in 1975. She was our hometown girl who was loved, highly sensitive and extremely talented. She was bold and vibrant. She was pushed out the way for several reasons, mainly because she wouldn’t conform. She was the voice. ❤
Exactly! She was definitely ahead of her time with how much of an outspoken woman she was. She was a business woman to that employed alot of people too. I was a teenager when she passed and I was heartbroken. She know she was classy and beautiful. ❤❤
@@Atasham72 Yes indeed! She said things that most people would only think about but never say out loud
She’s never forgotten because she’ll always be remembered as a legend.
Phyllis was tough on the outside but not strong on the inside. She made her decisions to not conform to what Clive Davis wanted her to do so he chose someone else a young Whitney Houston who in later years had her issues with the grip of Clive Davis and the industry. Seems many don’t win going up against the system and end up losing their lives. Phyllis tried twice before to end her life but calculated and made sure she’d win this time. I don’t think anyone helped her take her life for looking at her interviews this woman had sadness and issues of being alone plus being bipolar. Not staying on top of your meds and instead self medicating with substance and alcohol leads to disaster. I was so saddened she left us but when others can’t reach her or her inner demons it’s a loss for everyone.
@@Vincent50 Yes. Unfortunately mental health issues weren’t addressed in the manner that they should have been handled. Substances were used to stop the pain abet temporarily. She was strong willed and sensitive. A special person indeed.
The moment I heard someone (who knew Whitney well) say, Whitney Houston would never use a hotel bathtub, I believed it.
So then who killed her ? Because wasn’t her daughter and the boy Whitney adopted that ended up killing her daughter and Ray jay in the room ?
@@prettywymnshelly2658no, the daughter had her own room
@@prettywymnshelly2658 The same guy who killed her daughter and then placed her in a bathtub the same way.
😮@@prettywymnshelly2658
People do things outside of their norm when plagued with drug addiction and negative thoughts/situations. It’s not uncommon.
Phyllis Hyman is a true classy and talented woman , a true icon , I love her ,
great video !
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
WAS. She died almost 30 years ago.
@@jazzbuff630 yes * WAS !!
@@back_to_the_60s 🤞🏾🤞🏾
When i heard that she had died,i called my sister and we both cried as though she was a relative. Every time she would come to town my husband and i would buy two different sets of tickets once wasn't enough. Her song you know how to love me. That song gets me going. I loved me some Phyllis Hyman
5:00 I in Chicago stopped got tickets to see her. I saw her and knew the importance of that encounter. She had just started out. She rocks. Her music lives on.
Same here. It was a Saturday. I would never forget. I grieved so much for her.
I loved her like that too❤
My favorite was meet me on the moon!
It's 2024 & I still be crying abt Phyllis like she's my Aunt. Wish I could've met her.
CLIVE DAVIS. has blood on his hands with many ARTIST😢
Yet, he's still here!
CD has been doing this sh*t for 100+ years! 😂
Stop spreading rumors. When you work in the recording industry, you will notice that the industry is plagued with criminal elements: drugs, alcohol, and prostitution. The record company pays its artists very well. What they do with their money is their business. That is where having a good manager comes in. I toured with the Temptations and several other recording artists, and I can attest that after the concert, the drug dealers are waiting right outside the front and the back door because they know you have made a lot of money. This is where management steps in to make sure you don't make contact with those people. However, Phyliss did not have that mode of protection. Clive tried to monitor it, but when Hyman chose to be here, there, and everywhere doing her own thing, that opened up several opportunities for dealers to catch up with her and establish a connection. I love Phyliss and talked with her brother, Michael, about forming a band. Clive Davis is a genius, but I don't think he is to blame. I don't believe Phylis was killed. She was depressed and sad, and drugs did not help the least.
@@idontknow7738must be a real life vampire
@macmoney2043 👍🏾💯👍🏾
I'm glad you said it because I didn't want to. 😂
I have always loved Phyllis Hyman ever since I heard her vocals on the Norman Connors “You are my Starship” album. I was blessed to have met her and chatted for a few minutes when she performed at Fat Tuesdays in NYC around 1988. She was warm, gracious, down to earth and funny! I’ve always treasured that memory. I also recall when WBLS-FM radio paused everything to report that she had been found unresponsive. My heart dropped 😢 I couldn’t understand how someone so beautiful and talented would just give up on life. Thank you for helping me understand what she was going through. I pray that she’s found peace at last. 🙏🏽 Her legacy will live on in my heart.
I love that song❤
My mother had the honor of meeting Phyllis Hyman, backstage at her concert, when she came to town. She said that Ms. Hyman was very down to Earth & had a funny since of humor. They also had a stage play about her life and career, recently in Chicago, last month, entitled, "Living All Alone: The Phyllis Hyman Story". RIP to an R&B legend, Phyllis Hyman
As a Philly native, Phyllis was our Sophisticated Lady - timeless hits galore. Switch 2 letters of her name and it spells "Philly(s)". Broke our hearts when she passed and even today it still makes me tearful. Great coverage. #newsubff
I NEVER BELIEVE SHE ENDED HER LIFE, THAT INDUSTRY IS A BEAST OF DESTRUCTION
That's an interesting biography...Native American ancestry. Original name Lynch...had to adopt slave master's name Hyman...ironic...both have "y" as 2nd letter.
Philly Native Here.
Phyllis was one of our most cherished artists akin to Jean Carn, Three Degree, The Jones Sisters. This video doesn't give Phillys the honor she deserves. Phyllis was an immense talent, and she had the potential to achieve even greater heights, Clive Davis signed her; however, he wanted her to embrace a more mainstream, bubblegum pop style contrast to her soulful and jazz-inspired vocal style. Can you imagine that? His distain for her came from "Do as I say," and when she didn't, suddenly she's egotistical and difficult to work with emerged. The reality is that Clive sidelined her in favor of Whitney, which ultimately led to the label dropping her and impeding her career progress. Her legacy lives on through her music, but her untimely departure serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by artists behind the scenes. #Don'tSeekHere #SingFortheGloryofGod
Yes indeed! I loved Phyllis Hyman!!!
I just finished watching this video of Phyllis Hyman and reading a few of the post on her. I feel the same way because of her life and what happened to her from a small child what her parents went through is sad. But let us keep in mind a lot of us are like this because what white america has put us through Her parents didn't have a life the father working like there was no tomorrow and the poor mother having to deal with a husband who wanted a big family and didn't have the money for all those children. The mother started cracking up dealing with an abusive husband we can understand her situation it's sad. And even Phyllis who had big dreams just lost it when her dreams became a nightmare and involved with Davis. Yes this man me myself gets teary-eyed I'm man enough to tell the truth. I miss her so much never had the chance to see her concert but (LOVED) hearing her music on the radio here in Baltimore city. Her music just made all the other music right just set off all the other songs that was played before they played her songs. Phyllis Hyman will never be forgotten NEVER we (LOVED) her then and we still (LOVE) now our R&B queen 👑
An absent father and an ill mother a recipe for disaster hit way too hard. RIP prayers for all dealing with mental illness 🫶🏾
Bipolar depression.
This is Bipolar depression to a t. Take your medication and never be ashamed to ask for help
Many people don't understand how neglect to a child can cause havoc later on in life. Even when the person seems good and is successful don't mean they don't carry scars.
@@nicholegeorge947i understand that but some actlike it's someone else's fault that /that happened to them that's bad but that ain't no reason to take it out on someone's else it's not their problem that a person got bipolar what they should be doing is trying to get some help for themself and also take their medicine and stop blaming others for what is going on with them and if you want to get frank they alt to blame the one who is responsible for what's going on in their lives
and Stop nit picking at others cause they can get hurt cause some people aint going to be worried about what's their problem some people don't believe in biopar and some don't care cause the person that got it got to care and noone else its their problem only cause noone else has to care the one that need to care is the one that got the illness
I weep she impacted me as a young kid hearing her voice was angelic. I hate how greedy monsters use our gifts for their gluttony of money. Rest in forever peace Phyllis, Whitney🙌🏾all of our ancestors beautiful we love you eternally in our hearts forever ❤
She was so beautiful, so sad the way her life ended. I believe she was taken advantage of...mistreated in the industry.
True but I believe it started at home.
Now I see that Phyllis seemed to be forever chasing the attention and validation from the world her father deprived her and her whole family of.
Not just the industry, not just the industry.
Phyllis Hyman, my favorite female vocalist! Love her music...there will never be another Phyllis! ❤

@@back_to_the_60s truth
I think that she was featured on the first episode of Unsung. They haven’t aired it in years

Yes Yes Yes for sure and won't need that much guiding because Jasmine herself already got it you are good 👍
You beautiful 😊
Phyllis Hyman died EXACTLY 3 months after Selena Quintanilla-Perez. Selena also died just before her birthday 😢 Hyman and Whitney Houston (Clive Davis's replacement for Hyman) both died before a big appearance; Apollo Theatre and Grammy Awards respectively. There's definitely something weird.
I heard Phyllis Hyman on the radio just before her death She was speaking in code about her life. I didn't think she was suicidal at all
She probably Knew she was on the way Out!
I wish these pictures and information would've been put in her Unsung episode. Great work!
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
@@back_to_the_60s you didi your Thang! 😊
I think they did do an Unsung episode on her, I could be mistaken but I think so
Did the narrator say..."Native" where in the hell did he get that from.....You mean Black man? 🤷🏾
Her dad's side have Tuscaroran roots
There should be a motion picture made about this talented icon!
It’s time
Right instead of another movie about Whitney Houston… we love Whitney but Now we are starting to see that these Whitney movies are just a Money Grab… Like how many times can u keep telling the same story 😢… but yet we don’t have 1 on Phyllis….We gotta STOP Allowing these non-Black Americans music executives telling US who Are Legends are-Black Americans know who are Legends Are
It would never be the truth only lies on Hyman
I agree
I vote Whittington Still for the lead role
I still remember the day my car radio broke the news of Phyllis Hymans passing. She was one of my favorite, if not thee favorite female singers.
It brought tears to my eyes, I couldn’t believe it!😔 To this day i still luv and play her songs. May she continue to R.I.P. 😔😇❤️
Me 2! I love her I’ve been listening to her since I was kid and still going strong! Her voice was amazing!
Fantastic documentary! There was no one I admired more than this woman as an early 80s baby. She was the physical embodiment of class and elegance. I adore her ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
I was sitting here thinking the same thing. I was young "83 baby, but I knew beauty and class and I loved her. Anita Baker was another one . They sang with so much grace ❤. My little feelings was hurt when I found out she passed. I didn't understand how someone so beautiful cld do this to herself. It was kinda traumatizing, it didn't make sense til I got older. At my age now, I really don't believe she did it. ❤❤❤
Houston, Hyman, Angela Bofill and Anita Baker - Powerhouses
And Clive Davis still walkin’ ‘round here! Make it make sense 😢
He's Satan incarnate.
This country is corrupt
The devil runs this world
Clive gave Phyliss an opportunity. When you are under contract, you have to conform to that contract. I think Clive was lenient with her by keeping her on contract while she strayed to do Broadway. Berry would have never allowed Diana or his artists to go outside their contract. That is the way the business is. So, Clive allowed her to stay, but Phyliss, and I love her to death, took advantage of that. She was the most talented in her class, but she was strong-willed. Just to note: Her brother Michael and I planned on forming a group. He came to hear me play piano at a restaurant in Harlem and proposed the idea.
The luck of the devil
There's a special place for Clive Davis!!!!!! Phyllis was too good and too smart for you.
I feel that she was compromised! I'm not mentioning any names!! RIP Phyllis 😢😢
Wym
Phyliss wasn't compromised. Her contract with Arista was based on her standards of life. Record companies don't just give a contract without scrutinizing the entire artist beyond just talent.
There’s one record evil company executive that has been responsible for a lot of the deaths of a lot of African American artists and everyone in the business knows exactly who he is, but he’s going to pay for his awful atrocities in the near future and it still won’t be soon enough.💩🤬 R.I.P. Ms. Hyman👑💯😇
Amen
Yes Real Talk!!!
She committed suicide because she was mentally ill how is that a record executives fault ? You fckn ppl will blame everyone for your shit but won’t take responsibility. She was bipolar and took alcohol and drugs to self medicate not a good combo with that condition and she took her own life nobody killed her, she killed herself … bunch of clowns 🤡
Praise Yah!
Don't forget Whitney Houston.
Sacrificed to get her catalog. Happens all the time. "Degrade, then destroy."
Phyllis's Music Got Me Through Some of Worst Times in My Life, "Living in Confusion" Was My DAM ANTHEM! I Was BLESSED to Actually Meet Her! R.I.P. Queen 👑, Gone BUT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN❤❤❤❤
That was one of my favorite as well. I related to that song so well in a relationship I was in at the time. It’s was like she new my pain!💔
I tried not to cry, but your brilliance in telling the story of one of my favorite icons had me in tears. Had Clive Davis been patient with her a little longer, it could have saved her life. Thank you for this exceptional, well-researched story. May Ms. Hyman continue to rest in peace forever.
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
Davis is not God.
I love Phyllis Hyman.
First time I heard " Betcha My Golly Wow" I knew she was a talented singer. R.I.P Phyllis Hyman🙏💜💜
This was so very well done. It contained stuff that wasn’t in her Unsung episode. I always thought it was a shame for those who struggled with metal illness back then because it was taboo, people didn’t seek treatment, get properly diagnosed or commit to medication. I always felt so bad for her and especially Donny Hathaway. Two talented people who struggled so but couldn’t commit to the meds, so sad to be that lonely to think taking your life is the best answer. I pray they found the peace they didn’t have on Earth. Living Al alone was my favorite song of hers and still is. RIP
I just wished she would have truly LOVED HERSELF FIRST!!!! Beauty, talent, and class personified. So sad 😢.😊
Yes
She had a depression problem she was depressed even if she loved her self she was still depressed......
She did love herself, but do you say that to all of people that might have some type of mental illness because that was her? Because Robin Williams must’ve really hated himself.
@annetteb2432 no I don't say that to everyone that has that problem. I'm dealing with that now.
How do you know she didn't?
Absolutely One of A kind breath taking beautiful and sung like The angel God made her to be. INCOMPARABLE PHYLLIS HYMAN❤
She was so beautiful.

Good Morning, Family. Thank you for taking the time to make a video on my favorite artist of all time, Phyllis Hyman. I have been following her for many years. Some things that should be included in this short documentary are essential to note. When Phyllis committed suicide that week, she was scheduled to perform at the BLUE NOTE. I knew because I had tickets. Two, Angela Bofill did an interview years ago describing Phyllis Hyman's erratic behavior as her label mate. Angela Bofill stated that Phyllis once took her shoes and pantyhose off to perform on stage with bare feet; she would have erratic outbursts and challenge Angela Bofill to a voice contest.
The erratic demise of Phyllis Hyman contributed to a cascading series of events that offer no parachute to safety, healing, warmth, or self-love. It displays the music industry's true nature, as long as you can give us what we want, "we will always be there for you." No authentic support, family support, or genuine sense of humility are lessons we can all learn from this.
Phyllis Hyman was a prodigy, for sure, with undeniable talent and infectious warmth in her many songs. She will truly be missed, cherished, and loved. Her day-one fans and those close to her will always miss her.
Dave Chapell, Katt Williams and Kanye
@@hebrewisraelitesmeet3842 meaning??
There was one, most important spiritual being that was missing in her life, and that was God. Depression and Suicide are oppressions of the enemy, that only God can deliver you from.
I can document at least 17 times I saw Phyllis Hyman, the majority of which occurred at The Blue Note, NYC's leading jazz venue, and of course on Broadway in " Sophisticated Ladies". Her shows were ALWAYS on-point and old out, with bar patrons three people deep. While performing, she even took french-fries off my brother's plate as we sat stage front. Her personality was mercurial, as before one show she came around to all the tables thanking us for coming, while before other shows reacted volatile to intrusions upon her privacy. And let's not forget her stage presence and wardrobe. The audience, we fellows particularly, was amazed and in awe of her, as she often spilled out of her garments, much to our delight, lol.
R.I.P. Phyllis. We still yearn for you aways.
@@slimdude2011 Amen!
WHITNEY HOUSTON FOUGHT BACK😢
Maybe because she was the next one after Phyllis and knew something about what she went through. She probably made up her mind over the years that she would not give in. That is very valiant, but the end is the same. It seems that the best way to fight is to fight from joining. As I listened, I imagined it would have been so much better for Phyllis, has she continued with General Electric 💡. Thinking that perhaps, it would have been a lot less stressful. However, you don't have to be in the industry, to commit suicide. Life.
@@rosajohnson5212 Most artists despise 9-5 jobs. They have a different calling and purpose. She accomplished her basic calling in life but the lack of a stable and loving rlshp along with her mental health and substance abuse issues contributed greatly to her decision to check out. Had she had a man capable of loving her despite her issues she would probably have another album out now but the video makes it clear why trusting a man would be an issue for her, esp. considering her father abandoned his wife and family. The good news is she made her mark despite a troubled upbringing. Most don't even get that far....
I truly believed Phylis was murdered bc that just don't sit well with me that she would take her life, yes she may have been depressed, but I believe that Clive had put a hit out on her, like with Whitney an Bobbi Kristina, only they will covered up to look like they killed themselves. So many deaths in the industry are being covered up, it's been going on for years. Hollywood has always been hard on Black Entertainment, as well as being dark. You got to give up something for the fame or you if you rebel an try to go your own way they will have you killed.
fought back? how?

She didn't have bipolar, Donny Hathaway was not schizophrenia. These are people who knew the truth and expressed. Was not going to do something stupid for fame. period
Everything is not a grand conspiracy. These artist are regular people just like all of us with a talent musically. That's all they are. Things happen in people's lives all the time.
Just because “everything is not a grand conspiracy “, doesn’t automatically mean nothing is.
@@omgblk23 it's a person who obviously suffered from a mental illness and subsequently took her life as a result of this. I don't see any conspiracy theory to follow here.🤔
FACTS ‼️
@omgblk23 she was diagnosed as bipolar. Her family has a history of mental illness. It's well documented and has been verified by her sister.
Clive Davis has a pattern…. HE ALWAYS PAYS ATTENTION TO HIS CURRENT STARLET BUT NEVER FULLY INVEST IN THEIR LIVES SO WHEN HE FINDS THE NEXT (in his opinion) BEST THING…. It’s easy for him to scrap or dispose of yesterday’s thrill ! My aunt Rena Scott was dumped for Phyllis Hyman just like Phyllis Hyman was dumped for Whitney Houston ! It’s a dirty business !
Interesting point.
This made me cry again. I was so into her and her music. Her duet with Grover Washington Jr. Sacred Kid of Love is a classic
This is absolutely the best video I have ever seen about Phyllis Hyman. She was one of the greatest singers of all time in my opinion. I spent hours as a little girl trying to sing like her. This video was so well made, the narration, the flow of the story and all the wonderful photos and videos, many which I've never seen before. Thank you for paying tribute to Phyllis, she more than deserves it.❤
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
A Beautiful And Amazing Lady!
Rest in peace Queen 👑💐🌟
To learn that Clive would put black female against one another it's the same as he was doing with Whitney Houston when he wanted to put Monica and Brandy against her . Clive was a very shady character I need to know exactly what he was doing with these young black female artists .
yes she didn't kill her self! she was sacrificed. so sad .. the industry is so evil. They do this all the time. god bless her beautiful soul
Phyllis .. a GORGEOUS woman with a soulful, POWERHOUSE voice! I watched her unsung episode and just felt such a deep wave of sadness .. I felt like she never actually seen the beauty of herself and what's more was coming into the industry having everything already naturally to her (the voice, the looks, the poise, the charisma) but being let down; she always felt lonely and sadly it seemed when it came to her passing, she left us most likely feeling that way. She should of been so much bigger than she received as far as her career. Rest peacefully, Phyllis. You are loved and never forgotten.
The sad thing is a lot of young people will never know of her or hear her awesome voice 😢
I enjoyed this biography very much! It was more in depth than the one that TV One's "Unsung" did of her several years ago.
I swear every time I see a picture of Phyllis Hyman I believe she is kin (related) to Jazmine Sullivan (R&B singer)
Something going on that’s right jazz
Yeah you right...she does look like Phyllis Hyman...😮😮😮
They both are from Philly so it can be some possibilities hey I love them both...beautiful voices and for me Phyllis was and forever is one of my favorite top 5 singers of all time❤❤❤❤❤
Genetic features never lie...... Lena Horn and Alicia Keys, just the names make you say 🤔hmm.
Yessss!! They do look alike! Maybe they can do a biopic on her life with Jazmine ❤
I loved this woman as though she was my sister. That's how much I grieved her death in June 1995. I went to about 4 of her concerts, brought every album and felt sad for her upbringing and lifestyle. Phyllis you are forever in my heart. RIP❤️
I mean you can literally hear her depression in the song “Living all alone” that song was EVERYTHING! But you could be thee happiest person & listen to that song & can feeel the depression rolling off that song & her voice
Clive Davis deleted many black songstress in the music industry and is still making money after their death with movies. Clive Davis is getting richer with the Whitney Houston movie and the Genius Aretha movies. 😢
Deleting songstresses isn't sustainable monetary wise
@@rahbeeuhwhy isn’t it when owns the masters? Artist make more money dead than alive
She was absolutely beautiful and had a voice, style, and presence that will never be duplicated. Rest in peace, eternal legend. 🙏🏽
Man..….it sounds like she struggled more with BPD than bipolar disorder.
I still remember where I was when I heard the news she died. Made me cry, she was SUCH a talent.
My late husband loved Ms. Hyman. We had the pleasure of seeing her. May they both RIP.
Her album Prime of my life is my favorite. Still playing it on my turntable all these years later. I love Phyllis Hyman, it was a sad day when they announced her death.💔💞
WITH CLIVE DAVIS RECORD, I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT PHYLLIS WAS MURDERED😮😢
Yep!
She wouldn't be the only one 💯
💯
Her Mother, and Grandmother died a month apart, That for some reason doesn't set right!!!!
Killed, just like Whitney, and Aretha, and plenty others
Dam Gatekeeper’s used that bipolar lie n killed Phyllis too!!!!
FACTS❗️ EV3NTHO HER SISTER SAID SHE BATTLED DEPRESSION SHE WAS BROKEN HEARTED BUT SUICIDAL I DON'T THINK SO .
Yes, it’s all about the insurance money… especially if she was with Clyde Davis that jerk
AGREED!!!!
Smdh. She was depressed and took her own life. Y’all need help. And insurance Doesn’t pay out suicides
@@AnAdorableWombat1 well... The industry probably has their own insurance policies which may have special provisions because of the nature of said industry
Clive Davis, that's all I needed to hear. R.I.P. Beautiful soul. I remember when this happened, they played her songs, and these songs hit different for many when they heard the news.
Thank you for doing this and showing her the respect as a phenomenal Queen and legend. When I first came to know Ms Hyman I was 11 years old and I fell in love. She was absolutely amazing and absolutely beautiful. And such a force. I’ve always thought she deserved more recognition than she received. Your description of her is spot on. Undeniable beauty a vision of allegiance and power on stage. A true legend, royalty, beauty and strength.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Clive= Phyllis & Whitney, makes me wonder were they both unalived? I don't see Phyllis going along with the evils in the Music industry nor staying silent about it. Kanye woke people up
🤦🏼♂️ Whitney was a crackhead for ages. Phyllis was bipolar since the 80’s stop feeding into this conspiracy theory bullshit. These artists would of made more money alive than dead, it’s been proven, they ain’t MJ or Prince who’s catalogs will test the end of time or Elvis or the Beatles. You ppl with your conspiracy theories are funny. She killed herself … period. Whitney overdosed … end of story. It’s sad but it is what it is. Phyllis also dos drugs and alcohol not a good mix when you’re bipolar. Kanye ain’t woke nobody up, he’s a racist clown who’s also bipolar and off his meds most of time talking that crazy shit … y’all need to stop blaming the record labels for these artists fked up way of living their lives and ending tragically … so I assume by your logic … Sony Killed Michael and the labels Prince was against killed him too ? 😂😂😂😂
It's not impossible in the ugly industry.
I personally feel Whitney's version of resistence and boldness kicked in when she was already knee deep in the industry with her massive success.
No matter, she never overcame her drug addiction and Phyllis Hyman could not overcome her mental health struggles.
Additionally, they both were not accepted as their most authentic selves nor truly happy within from the moment they met Clive and signed contracts. Whitney called him her "industry father" but I felt like she spoke so endearing of him in public for show. Going along with the game, you know?
Clive is the devil
Kanye part of the problem
@@TheRetroWoman80 No, Clive is genuine. I recently saw him at a party in Beverly Hills where I was the pianist. We talked about New York and the friends we had in common. Clive gives opportunities, but what you do with your opportunity is your prerogative. Even if the opportunity is only working a regular 9-5, you must understand that a job allows you to make money. What you do with your money after work is your prerogative, not your boss's. Companies also give their employees medical and health insurance.
My cousin and Phyllis were best friends, and my cousin told me she was a manic depressive person. My cousin was also a psychologist. I asked her why she couldn't help her, and she told me she was fighting her inner demons and no one could help her.
Can't help someone who doesn't want or ask for it
She spoke how she wanted her life to go. Single, childless, famous and have money. All accomplished. She came and left us with her beautiful voice and her good music. RIP!
No empathy or discernment for those suffering from Bipolar, but yet, they collect all her royalties and catalogs.
This was fantastic. Thank you for your hard work.
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
Living all alone!
I was near Philadelphia in South Jersey on the day I heard of Phiyllis' passing. I was in my 🚘 I brought down & mourned 😢!! This GREAT TALENT NEEDS TO TOLD!! Not only to celebrate her legacy , but also recognize the dangers of bi- polar disorders. Ms. Philliis Hyman 🙏..We ❤ You!! May God Stayed With 🙏 you
One thing I appreciate about watching different docs about someone I already know about is how the information is attained.
This channel did their homework and then some!
Thanks for going the extra mile to discuss Phyllis's ancestors, not just her music career and personal battles.
Yass 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
I sincerely agree.
I’m 37 almost 38 my grandma introduced me to Ms Hyman years ago when I was about 18. Omg I love her and her music. You know how to love me is my absolute favorite. She was so gorgeous loved every thing about her and her music and style
Clive Davis will have his day in court. Mark my words.
He'll die before they bring forth his secrets, he will not pay for his multiple transgressions in his lifetime.
No he won't..
That day needs to hurry up
@@eugenedantzler4485 if it can happen to Diddy it can happen to Clive
@@TokyoCaliLove the difference is.... Clive has more power than Diddy.... Clive also has the complexion for protection unfortunately.
Such a beautiful lady great music rest in peace she never disappointed
I remember her and the whispers were scheduled to do a concert. It devastated them when they found her. I remember they made a stage play about it. It hit us all really hard because we loved her and couldn't understand why a powerhouse would kill herself! It never made any sense. I wish they would do a story on Donnie Hathaway also cause his death made no sense. He accidentally fell out a window? I don't think so😢
This was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. She was my idol, loved her.
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
Phyllis Hyman had an amazing voice. She was an beautiful woman.
What a voice she had. “In the Prime of My Life” is one of my favorite albums.There’s not a voice around today that can match hers.
Meet me on the moon
Does something beautiful to my soul every time I hear it !
That song made feel her in a whole other way
Thank you love Goddess for your beautiful voice your beautiful being snd always being your beautiful self
💚✨🦋😇
Such a beautiful & striking woman!
Yes indeed!
This Andrew, this industry is so wicked. It's a shame that they take in people a lot is because they don't do what they want them to do or I just don't know what to buy you. It's a shame and you know what? Something needs to be done about this industry. Because there's too many people. Great talent has gone away too soon. Because they say so, it's not right and it needs to be guessed along and it needs to be dealt with. This is going on for decades after decades and nothing has been done to these industry people.😢😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Sadly, the artist takes the oath for the fame.
So so Many..
Could that have been what happened to 😮 jimmy,Jim etc
KARMA !
That’s a bill that always has to be payed.
If that gives u any comfort. It does for me. So many do so much evil but knowing the day will come no matter who they r or how powerful they will have to settle up with someone much bigger than us. That Higher power can be whoever u choose 2 believe in.
That everyone’s right.
I’m no bible thumper but I can’t make the sun rise or set ,so I gotta believe someone much bigger s in charge of this show.
Much love ❤️
Especially when you have no one looking after you like Beyoncé had her parents
I met Phyllis Hyman backstage at AFRAAM FEST at Waterside Norfolk Virginia. I was astounded by her voice and the crowd's response to her performance! I was 22 years old and she made such an impact on my life. I loved her music "Old Friend " and her remake "What You Won't Do For Love" ❤This is an amazing documentary. As soon as I heard Clive Davis I already knew that her tragic death was not suicide. I'm sorry, that man has so much blood on his hands. SMH
.....❤ It's so nice to feel you hold me again 😢 I met her at the valley forge music center in PA I hated being tall. But this woman made me LOVE it. She sang without shoes on. Thank you mommy for showing me real music and talent. Rip mommy and Phyllis Hyman.❤
Those are 2 of my favorite songs from her as well. She was an amazing, beautiful talent. There will never be another like her. ❤
R.I.P. 🕊️ Phyllis Hyman ~ she had such a unique and beautiful voice .. Ohhhhh! my that Clive Davis name always coming up😳 💯
Make it make sense. Clive is the dam DEVIL.👹
It’s amazing how they always seem to diagnose women in music with drug addiction bipolar disorder or mental illness BUT YET. They don’t see where they’re at fault i always felt Clive had something to do with Whitney’s death
Clive Davis has been around a lot of greats and their untimely deaths… 🤔🤨😕
❤ I saw Phyllis at a club in Chicago. Tall stunning beautiful. I love her music. She made me happy to be tall. It was so sad to hear of her death.
She reminds me of Vesta.
I wish they would make a movie about her. She was gorgeous
Just makes me so sad. She was so talented and absolutely gorgeous. She did so much in her life-I just dont understand.
She was sick, she had been bipolar since the 80’s and she finally took her own life, back then I’m sure there wasn’t the type of treatment you can get now and most likely she wasn’t taking her meds the proper way and add the drugs and alcohol it’s not a good mix. It’s too bad these super talented artists have such a hard time dealing with their demons that their only available option is to take their own life. Probably nobody in her team was supportive enough to het her the help she needed … it truly is sad
Absolutely Clive Davis has more blood on his hands than a surgeon!
Thank you. Looking forward to seeing the stage production of "Living all Alone" this weekend at the Fox in Atlanta. May she R.I.P.
Clive Davis again.?!
Yep again. How much money do these MF need. Can't take it with you. God sees and hears All. In his time...in his time.
