Some of you may have seen advertisements for a Phyllis Hyman CD entitled "Phyllis Hyman Remembered" which was released in Sept. 98. The Phyllis Hyman estate is making it clear that they do not approve of this release and have nothing to do with it. Phyllis recorded some of the songs as a favor to somebody. They were recorded purely as demos and were never intended for commercial release. Glenda Gracia, PH's manager, would like all the fans to know that this is NOT the "new" Phyllis CD and should NOT in any way be confused with the Forever With You project !
That's all for now! I hope everybody is as excited about the new CD as I am !! E-mail me your review of the CD so I can include it in the next issue of the PH Newsletter!
