Phyllis Hyman didn't know how special she was. Tragically, the Philadelphia-born jazz and soul singer had a history of depression and committed suicide in summer 1995. But fortunately for her fans, the pained beauty contained in Hyman's voice lives. Although diehard fans should also pick up the more comprehensive, two-disc Legacy of Phyllis Hyman, which contains extended versions of her classic rendition of the Stylistics' "Betcha By Golly, Wow" and the grown-folks club jam "You Know How to Love Me," Ultimate Phyllis Hyman features several songs not included on that earlier compilation. Among them are "Meet Me on the Moon," from 1991's sadly titled Prime of My Life, and "I Refuse to Be Lonely," from Hyman's posthumous album of the same name. The disc also offers a nicely condensed packaging of the statuesque, silky-voiced diva's greatest hits, such as the triumphant "Somewhere in My Lifetime" and the desperate "Living All Alone." Since Hyman's death, the music industry has regrettably veered toward rewarding female R&B singers more for their physical assets than their vocal presence. But alongside her dear friend Patti LaBelle, Phyllis Hyman is one of the preeminent vocalists of the past few decades and an old friend we'll never forget.
