I knew but I really didn't understand what suicide was until her death. Because of her, I accepted my height and my not-so-girly voice. She is loved and missed my many.

I was so sad about her taking her life, yet fasinated that she had such a clear and precise view of her life, and she took command of the fact that she was going to be the one to determine when she would leave this world and how. From the articles I have read regarding her suicide, she was adamant and totally at peace with her decision to leave this world. I only wish she would have realized what a miracle she was and how much we all loved her. It's sad that she felt she couldn't turn to God when she needed Him the most. Even sadder that she didn't realize that through all that heartbreak, God was carrying her, trying to let her know that everything would be okay; that she would be okay, as long as she put her trust, faith and love in Him and not in humanity. She was taken for granted as an artist, performer, a vital, beautiful, black woman, and a deeply troubled human being. She is at rest now with her parents and Linda Creed. I can only hope that she is in heaven, happy and singing her heart out to God and all the loved ones we've lost. I'm sure she's getting a standing ovation.

What a great lost. If only she known how much people loved and admired her. This makes me think, we must always respect each other because looks can be deceiving; we don't ever know what some is going through unless we are in the person's shoe. We need to respect and be patient with each other. Phyillis Hyman was such a beautiful woman and a powerful singer. What a great lost. If only she known how much people loved and admired her.

This is my first time commenting, but it's ironic that you mention Phyllis Hyman. I was just looking at her video "I Can't Stand Living Alone." I loved her, as a little girl. She will be missed.

I'll never forget the first time I heard her voice. It was nearly a lifetime ago, and I was with a guy in his SUV having deep conversation (I swear that was it! :) ). The song "The Answer is You" came on and I stopped him dead in his tracks while he was spilling his heart out, and asked "Do you know who's singing?" I know I must have been rude -- but really, could anyone blame me? Thank you so much for this profile. I’ll never forget the first time I heard her voice.

If they didn't, I probably wouldn't have ever heard of her. I love that she's not afraid to make an ugly face to get the right sound out. Great voice. Too bad she's not around anymore. These kind of things make me wonder what Marvin Gaye would be doing now if he were still alive. My parents still talk about her all. the. time.

What a way to blow the "celebratory spirit". Wow, how said to be so...sad that you would end your own life. Favorite song? Hands down, "Betcha By Golly Wow". She dug deep, and did her best, with that one... Thanks for the memories. I remember exactly where I was, when I heard she was gone — I was in a taxi, with friends, on my way to a…party.

I agree with all of the above comments...she was simply astounding. I remember growing up listening to her and always being taken aback by her voice. The video of “In a Sentimental Mood” is priceless! She should honored in the beautifly way you have done! Peace and Blessings! WOW! I agree with all of the above comments…she was simply astounding.
