Always loved her music, my moms used to keep her in rotation in the house. Random thing her cousin was the OG who played Bill Cosbys dad on the cosby show

Bobby Brown influenced by Rick James, it goes
Prince wanted Alexander O'Neal to be Morris Day or Jerome
But Alex was puttin' coke in his nose, n1gga wildin'
Could be a myth but I swear that the source was close
Phyllis Hyman killed herself, it was crazy
Mommy was bad they say
Donny Hathaway free-fall from a balcony

Fire track and Ron artist made the beat.

This song and whole album is timeless. The only celebrity i ever seen my mother cry for.

She was one of my moms favorites too. I remember riding in the car with her when they announced she died on the radio

I dont know much about her other than knowing of her name. This thread has sent me down a rabbit hole. Geez she was so beautiful. And her voice...man, amazing.

Sad that she was in so much pain and unhappiness that she killed herself.

She spoke so much truth about the music industry. How did we go from women like her, Sade, Anita Baker Chaka Khan, and Whitney Houston who all had amazing yet unique voices to these smuts who can't even sing and all sound the same? Like she said the industry substituted quality and longevity for a quick and fast buck. Shame she lost against her mental health issues.
