Some people say Phyllis Hyman died not knowing how much she was loved. It is said she fought hard to overcome her demons. I don't think Phyllis Hyman was just fighting her demons if she had any demons at all. I think she was fighting demons coming from elsewhere. When the music business is hard, sometimes you can't be yourself. You can't show the world the self you want the world to see.
I think it's time that we start recognizing Phyllis Hyman more. She was trying to tell us things that were very important. If you have heard and seen Phyllis Hyman speak, you know that she had very good knowledge about things.
Hyman is best known for her music during the late 1970s through the early 1990s. Some of her most notable songs were "You Know How to Love Me" (1979), "Living All Alone" (1986) and "Don't Wanna Change the World" (1991).
Phyllis Harmon was a very talented singer. She suffered from bipolar disorder and depression for years. She died by suicide. So many talented people in the music business died like that. It's always something with the mental health or they get killed.
Phyllis Hyman is a singer we want to remember; we need to remember. She had great music like her fourth album “You Know How to Love Me” and her single with the same name. Phyllis was a great soul singer and her fourth album was released in 1979. It was her most successful album, but she made other albums too.
