I know we talk about her frequently on here but it still bears mentioning that the gorgeous Phyllis Hyman would have turned 70 on Saturday if she were still with us. I have no doubt that her statuesque beauty would have held up well over the years if she had been able to take care of herself.

And to think of all the great music she might have graced us with during these last 25 years! One of the music world's great losses of all time.
