Today We Honor Phyllis Hyman

Phyllis Linda Hyman was an American singer-songwriter and actress, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania July 6, 1949. She was best known for her singles from the late 1970s through the early 1990s including: You Know How to Love Me, Living All Alone, and Don’t Wanna Change the World.

She performed on a national tour with the group, New Direction. Later she joined All the People while working with another group, The Hondo Beat. She made her acting debut in 1974 in the film Lenny. Hyman also led a group called Phyllis Hyman and the P/H Factor.

Hyman’s debut solo album named Phyllis Hyman was released in 1977 on Buddah Records. When Arista Records bought Buddah Records, she transferred to the new label and released four albums: Somewhere in My Lifetime (1979), You Know How to Love Me (1979), Can’t We Fall in Love Again? (1981), and Goddess of Love (1983).

She also performed on Broadway in the musical, Sophisticated Ladies, the tribute play for Duke Ellington. For that work, she received a Tony Award, nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical, and won a Theatre World Award for Best Newcomer.

In 1983 Hyman recorded the song “Never Say Never Again” for the James Bond movie of the same name which starred Sean Connery but the song she recorded couldn’t be used for the movie soundtrack due to legal reasons. In 1986 Hyman released the album, Living All Alone, on the Philadelphia International label. She also appeared in the movies, Too Scared to Scream (1985), Spike Lee’s School Daze (1988), and The Kill Reflex (1989).

In 1991 Phyllis Hyman released the album, The Prime of My Life, on Philadelphia International, which was the biggest album of her career. It included her first number-one R&B hit as well her first Billboard Top 100 hit, Don’t Wanna Change the World. The album, her last released while she was alive, was certified gold by 1992.

Phyllis Hyman… One of the Greatest Artists of our Lifetime.

My reasoning for 6ft+ answer to height poll

Ah mhm I see. It’s the ghoul equivalent of wearing 7 inch platforms.

Can’t measure me if I’m 800ft off the ground doing sick loops as I stretch out into a cool as hell snake shape

ya, we saw them a few times. they were able to project a silhouette of themselves from the disk they were trapped in. seems like they were awake the whole length of their imprisonment.

This is going under a read more because it's longer than the color of the sky

The Cartologist: Hmm, okay! A lot of you have seen him-

The Coordinator: Someone woke them up and they're not even free yet?!

The Charmer: Please forgive us the interruption, starlet, but I am also curious to know how long they've been awake for?

Mac tricking Charlie into thinking his name is spelled “cat” in the self help book and then Charlie writing “cat <3 Mac 4evr” is something that can be so personal to me

when charlie teaches mac how to skate with patience and kindness, when mac canonically taught charlie how to read, when charlie promptly scratches out that cat <3s mac, when they fake their own deaths together and leave a video where they go out holding hands, when they have a literal death pact, when charlie calls mac’s mesh top “hot”, when they share a resume and interview together, when they choose each other for a partner dance during a competition, when they were a wrestling tag team as children, when mac wakes up cuddled against charlie’s chest, when charlie struggles to read a sign on a door and mac gently (‘nd proudly) encourages him for trying, when they catch eyes across a restaurant, when a bunch of asshole kids tease them for looking like boyfriends (and they promptly beat up the children together), when charlie drinks himself half into a coma when he worries that mac isn’t his best friend anymore, when they stumble off together holding one another after charlie makes the boggs challenge, when charlie is confidently and loudly aware of mac’s sexuality and being more worried about him living unhappily than anything else, when they burst in to the bar singing their favorite songs, when charlie’s left alone and consistently calls first for mac, when they choose to say their last words to one another as they think they’re about to drown, when they’re the same type of utterly unhinged, when they’ve been each other’s backbone through their worst moments, when they look to each other for comfort and security even through the insanity and arguments, when they’re childhood best friends with trauma that find joy in the simple but consistent companionship they give one another.
