    I’m a 72 year old woman and I listened to this beautiful, talented woman when I was in my twenties. I’m listening to her again tonight. She’s magnificent. Thank you beautiful girl.

      I'm here listening to meet me on the moon and I tell you you most CERTAINLY can feel her pain. Her loneliness. She KNEW she couldn't CONTROL the world n those in it. Yet she could DO something bout NOT feeling that PAIN anymore.This sister is very VERY DEEP. On a level MANY can not relate or can but don't want to confess their truth. Bout vulnerabilities bout NOT being understood and many claim they can relate and do Nothing except make u feel invisible. & yet once again ALONE.

      Unfortunately there was no "fame" because "crossover" queens became the rage across the country, even with black people. And there was no $$$ either. Trust me, I know this and knew Phyllis personally. I remember asking after a show "Where's your sax player and back-up singers?". Her reply? "I can't afford them". What was left out of the snippet of her suicide note was "and the IRS can kiss my a**". I know this too.

    I discovered Phyllis in 1987 when I was attending Robert Morris College. I remember watching BET as a young white Pittsburgh suburban gay male, and saw this video on Video Soul with Donnie Simpson. My love for 80's & 90's R & B/Soul started then. All those great songs kept my morning bus ride into the city for class a time I fondly remember. I fell in love with her voice. Little did I know years later that Phyllis grew up Pittsburgh. So sad that she had so much pain. A voice like that spoke to so many people. RIP beautiful Phyllis! Thank you for helping my young gay white soul to emerge and learn about such wonderful music.
