While this is a fine compilation of Phyllis' work, the 2-CD set "The Legacy Of Phyllis Hyman" offers a better value for your money as it includes the full-length LP versions of most of Phyllis' best songs- sadly, this collection includes only the single edit versions of "Loving You Losing You", "You Know How To Love Me","Betcha By Golly Wow", "Living In Confusion" and "Don't Wanna Change The World". Instead of issuing another compilation, Arista Records and BMG should (seriously!) reissue all of Phyllis' 1978-83 LPs on CD.

A truly definitive collection that covers her Buddha, Arista and Philadelphia International hits. Phyllis had a talent that is sorely missed today. Many of the reasons why are included here. Truly soul and jazz at it's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE ULTIMATE!!, October 2, 2004

This review is from: Ultimate Phyllis Hyman (Audio CD)

All of these songs are heartfelt,from "Betcha by Golly Wow" to "Meet me on the Moon". All of her lyrics are a cry for love,either a love not to end or refusing to be lonely as in the song "I Refuse To Be Lonely". This song should be an anthem for anyone who thinks their life can't go on after a relationship. Some of her upbeat disco songs are "You Know How To Love Me","Under Your Spell","Riding The Tiger". Anyone who is a fan of old school r@b will enjoy this, and of course the fans of Phyllis. She was such an incredible talent that was cut too short.
