To be called "Brother" or "Sister" in the 70s was met with some resistance and fear. People felt it insulted their intelligence and was overly used. Some even believed it was a way to get them to lower their guard and be robbed or something worse. The quote in the photo is what Phyllis said when asked how she felt being called "Sister." It was all love and good vibes to her. Quote - NY Amsterdam News, Apr 10, 1976 🎶Deliver The Love | Phyllis Hyman

Pittsburgh's Finest! George Benson is one of the most influential jazz guitarists and singers of our time. It was quite an honor for Phyllis to have his support. "It's been really beautiful having people like Natalie Cole and George Benson - who's another Pittsburgh-born performer - come up to me and tell me I'm next in line...People like George are great. They're a real inspiration to me because there are times when I feel insecure about what I'm doing..." - Phyllis Hyman, Black Music & Jazz Re

The Sounds Of Ebony was a singing group Phyllis joined after high school. They sang what Phyllis described as “message songs”. “The Sounds of Ebony expressed their views on what color is - Black, through singing. They put together exceptional singing ability to develop a sound of awareness that inspired people to respect and perfect that which belongs to Afro-Americans and that which has been earned through struggle.” - The Clarion Call, Sept 11, 1970-May 7, 1971 🎤Sing A Song - sung by Phyllis,
