This interview aired on Dec 30, 1986. It was the Living All Alone era, and a new beginning for Phyllis. Although she had been dealt some career blows, she pressed forward and found a way to make a living. If only that one-woman show had come to fruition. Video credit: K. Ford | Phyllis Hyman

This story has been twisted to fit a false narrative. Thank you Gordon Chambers for always spreading the truth about Phyllis. There was no ongoing beef between Phyllis and Whitney. Phyllis was a mentor and big sister to many in the industry including Whitney. That is who she was. I wish more people would speak up about that side of her. And it should not go unspoken: Alyson Williams always gives Phyllis her flowers. She loved her! And God bless you, Clay Cane, for always shining a light on Phyll

Phyllis, on a swing, having a carefree yet honest moment about not having a husband. There has been some debate about whether she says "women in control" or "living in control." It doesn't matter really. Points were made. 1st video credit: Lee Epps, Phyllis's cousin. | Phyllis Hyman

Pittsburgh's Finest! George Benson is one of the most influential jazz guitarists and singers of our time. It was quite an honor for Phyllis to have his support. "It's been really beautiful having people like Natalie Cole and George Benson - who's another Pittsburgh-born performer - come up to me and tell me I'm next in line...People like George are great. They're a real inspiration to me because there are times when I feel insecure about what I'm doing..." - Phyllis Hyman, Black Music & Jazz Re

The Sounds Of Ebony was a singing group Phyllis joined after high school. They sang what Phyllis described as “message songs”. “The Sounds of Ebony expressed their views on what color is - Black, through singing. They put together exceptional singing ability to develop a sound of awareness that inspired people to respect and perfect that which belongs to Afro-Americans and that which has been earned through struggle.” - The Clarion Call, Sept 11, 1970-May 7, 1971 🎤Sing A Song - sung by Phyllis,
