Phyllis Hyman ~ her very lonely life! Why she purposely sabotaged every relationship!

Phyllis Hyman isn’t a name familiar to many. Trawling through the internet one can find all kinds of testimonies. The overriding sense is that hers is a missed opportunity. She could have been as big as Whitney, a rival to Anita Baker, whilst Nancy Wilson said she had a voice which was comparable with Sarah Vaughn. Yet she languishes in the cult soul company of many black women of the late ‘70s through to the ‘90s who never quite had the success their talent deserved.
