Phyllis Hyman
Forever With You

Album US 1998 on Philadelphia International Records label
Jazz and R&B/Soul (Soul-Jazz, Disco)

Liner Notes Working with Phyllis was an experience... to say the least.... such a beautiful voice beyond compare....so rich in it's tone and flavor; her voice was uniquely identifiable without a doubt. If you walked into a room with closed eyes and heard her sing one note, you knew that it was a voice of the great Phyllis Hyman. It was her unique voice resonating, as she sang from her soul...which captured my attention and attracted me to her as an artist. This album "Forever With You," is a special collection of songs, because they were among the last recorded by Phyllis. She was just beginning to establish herself as a songwriter with this album. Phyllis served as co-writer on songs such as "Strength Of A Woman," "Come Right Or Not At All," "How Long" and "Tell Me What You're Gonna Do." Songwriting was the greatest vehicle which Phyllis found to best express the depth of her innermost self. There was so much we wanted to explore with Phyllis, but unfortunately time did not permit....as destiny led to her path....her eternal stead. It saddens me to think of her passing so soon into the prime of her life; yet when I think of her, I think of her with feelings of great joy. Joy for having the opportunity to have worked with such an outstanding voice. She was one of the most loyal artists i have ever had the pleasure of working with. Phyllis Hyman was so statuesque....so regal ....so Phyllis!
