Editorial Reviews

2 CD set from the Philadelphia Intl label years. As with many great artists, Hyman has become more appreciated posthumously. Though her popularity during her life was generally limited to soul and smooth jazz audiences, her influence on songstresses from Anita Baker to Tamia is evident, and her music has aged wonderfully. After leaving Arista, her first album for Philly Int'l and greatest album overall, 1987's Living All Alone was released, a wonderful collaboration with both Gamble & Huff and the great Thom Bell. The first single from that album was 'Old Friend', a Thom Bell/Linda Creed piano ballad that was perhaps the year's most beautiful soul recording. The album's other highlight was the moody title song, a haunting Gamble & Huff masterpiece. Four years passed before the release of her Nick Martinelli-produced Prime of My Life and her biggest hit, 'Don't Wanna Change the World'. Edsel. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phyllis' two best albums remastered and reissued on this special 2-CD set., January 12, 2008
By 
Justo Roteta (Los Angeles, California United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Living All Alone/Prime of My Life (Audio CD)
This is some of the finest and best romantic music ever made. The late Phyllis Hyman was one of the greatest songstresses of the v20th century and the two albums reissued on this package were her greatest works. "Walk Away", "Living All Alone", "First Time Together", "I Found Love", "Living In Confusion", "Old Friend" and "You Just Don't Know" are timeless ballads which were tailor-made for Phyllis' emotive, wistful and melancholic singing style. She left us much too soon but her music stands the test of time.

This collection is wonderful. My family had the album, "Living All Alone," when I was little. I loved it then and I love it now.
