This Is A Very Sad Phyllis Hyman Interview(About The Song "Old Friend")

I got teary eyed watching this. No matter how strong she pretended to be, she was a real emotional person:

I miss her SO much sigh touched

And I was just reading House on Fire, the story of Philly International....

"Old Friend" is one of the beautiful songs ever recorded.There's a real sadness to it.

Yes,I've tried to live my life without you
Knowing I had lost my closest friend
Though I fell in love from time to time
Knowing I would never find
the kind of love I had when you were mine

Everything about this song---the lyrics,the arrangement,the production,the vocals---is just PERFECT! Truly one of the most underrated R&B singles of the 80s.After Phyllis' death,it's sometimes hard for me to listen to it sad It's really emotional!

I rarely listen to that song anymore.
The love of my life is my ex and my best friend
and that song is just tooooo much most of the time.

Meanwhile, civic knowledge is enhanced by discussing public affairs, taking part in civic activities and reading about current events and history, the group said.


Which is why we have P & R!
