Phyllis’s humanitarianism should always be revered. Giving back and helping others was very important to her. She had a big heart. This is her 1977 Live performance of “Was Yesterday Such A Long Time Ago” on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. Video credit: ShoutFactoryVEVO/YouTube | Phyllis Hyman

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
