3.0 out of 5 stars Phyllis' first-ever compilation album., February 22, 2005

This review is from: Under Her Spell: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

This was Phyllis' first-ever anthology and includes some of her biggest Arista hits. Unfortunately, much of the material Arista boss Clive Davis (and his cohorts) gave Phyllis did NOT do her talents justice as they tried to make her a commercial diva. The tragedy about artists like Phyllis, Jean Carne, Angela Bofill, Brenda Russell and Patti Austin is that their best songs were album-only tracks which had no commercial appeal (as such, the single releases had to be trendy to some degree). This IS a good CD but the "Legacy Of Phyllis Hyman" 2-CD set offers both better value for your money AND a much better selection of Phyllis' music.

5.0 out of 5 stars What talent!!, May 23, 2005

This review is from: Under Her Spell: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I always loved the song You Know How to Love Me but never new the artist that recorded it although I did hear of Phyllis. I bought this CD for that one song and the whole disk is great. My personal favorite is You Sure Look Good To Me. That song has so much energy I don't know why it wasn't a big hit. It had me hooked in the first minute of the song. She is a versataille artist who covers the likes of R&B, Jazz, Soul etc. Such a shame she had to leave the world with all that talent. As a previous reviewer mentioned this is only a sampler CD and I've already ordered her Legacy 2CD and also this same CD so I can keep one in the car. Can't leave home without Phyllis.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average compilation!, July 1, 2000

This CD contains great songs but if you want a BETTER collection of Phyllis Classics, invest in:
1.Arista's 2 CD set 'The Legacy of Phyllis Hyman'
2. and the new 'Phyillis Hyman:Arista Heritage' CD
Let's hope that a BOX SET will be released to honor Phyllis's Career.
