Smooth Sailing: Adult Rock & Autumn Gold

C-Heads Magazine

Enjoy the sundown during this smooth sailing trip on a beautiful autumn evening!

Although a magnificent singer and nominated for a Tony award, the career of Phyllis Hyman never blossomed. She had a troubled relationship with her record company Arista, because of artistic differences and a controversial nude photoshoot for Oui Magazine in 1982. She also had to deal with some mental problems. She suffered from bipolar disorder and depression for years, having been diagnosed in the 1980s. She also struggled with an alcohol and drugs addiction. The singer died by suicide on June 30, 1995. 

“While she never attained a pop hit or went gold, no list of the best soul ballads, quiet storm deep cuts, or disco singles is complete without Hyman's impeccably rich voice.” (Allmusic.com)
