Phyllis had always held the first African-American Super Model, Naomi Sims, in high regard ever since their high school days in the All City Choir. And it's easy to understand why Phyllis continued her admiration for Naomi throughout the years. In the late 60s, Naomi was the first AA model to grace the covers of Ladies' Home Journal and Life Magazine. She never accepted a "no" from anyone, promoting herself when modeling agencies turned her down. She refused movie roles she felt were undermining

Phyllis's entree into the world of radio began with her long-standing friendship with Maye Hampton James-Holler, who took Phyllis's 1976 song, "Baby", to radio. Maye was the VP of promotions at Desert Moon/Roadshow Records - the first label to sign Phyllis. Sadly, Maye passed away earlier this month. Thank you, Maye, for all you did for Phyllis. Sweet rest. 💐 Phyllis's photo is a promotional picture from Roadshow Records. Maye's photo credit the Legacy website. | Phyllis Hyman

Pittsburgh's Finest! George Benson is one of the most influential jazz guitarists and singers of our time. It was quite an honor for Phyllis to have his support. "It's been really beautiful having people like Natalie Cole and George Benson - who's another Pittsburgh-born performer - come up to me and tell me I'm next in line...People like George are great. They're a real inspiration to me because there are times when I feel insecure about what I'm doing..." - Phyllis Hyman, Black Music & Jazz Re

Phyllis and Ernest Harden Jr. Ernest stays busy, but you may best remember him as Marcus in the hit TV show "The Jeffersons." He shared the stage with Phyllis in the 1994 play "Blues Bar." "On a dark night of our show, Phyllis took me to see a friend of hers who was also in town performing. It was Mrs. Nancy Wilson. Nancy was so happy to see Phyllis there at her show, she called her up on the stage and they sang a duet together. Nancy loved Phyllis; they were best of friends. After her set, Nanc

The late, award-winning, multi-talented phenom Hinton Battle used to stand in the wings to watch Phyllis's performance in Sophisticated Ladies. It's evident that many of today's and yesterday's artists studied her. If only they would acknowledge it out loud. RIP Hinton.💙 The audio is from a 2018 interview Hinton did with Big Meach, "It's Never Too Late: An Intimate Interview with Hinton Battle," which can be found on YouTube.

March is Women's History Month. "In the realm of social awareness and civic consciousness, Hyman spoke out on women-related causes, particularly battering and SA. 'The ultimate crime against a woman,' she stressed, 'is SA. SA is not a sex crime; it is a violent crime. I can't stand to see these injustices done to people who have nothing and no one to protect them,' Hyman said in one interview."
