"Going into that show (Sophisticated Ladies) wasn't a gamble. I knew immediately after I auditioned for it that I would not only get the part, but that I'd be a hit in that show, a major smash. Everything about the part was me: the look they wanted and the voice they needed." - Phyllis, Press Of Atlantic City, Jan 13, 1989. These Sophisticated Ladies cast photos were taken backstage at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philly. In the 1st pic are Michael Lichtefeld, Terri Klausner, Phyllis and Valarie

Michael Smuin "saved" Sophisticated Ladies when he took over as the director. He was the head of the San Francisco Ballet. Even though he cut some of her numbers, Phyllis thought he was a sweetheart. "'On his suggestion, I've decided to take dance classes.' Smuin got Phyllis to tap dance in the show. 'I've got two left feet. Make that two big left feet.'" - Phyllis Hyman, The San Francisco Examiner, Jul 26, 1981. | Phyllis Hyman

This powerful performance of Somewhere In My Lifetime is extra special. Phyllis ran over from the Lunt Fontanne Theater from performing in Sophisticated Ladies to lend her talents to this telethon. That is who Phyllis was—a humanitarian and advocate who cared about people. | Phyllis Hyman

A young Phyllis did not think she was that good. In her words, if you weren't singing like Nancy Wilson, why even try? Crazy! I'm glad her neighbors pushed her. | Phyllis Hyman

The late, award-winning, multi-talented phenom Hinton Battle used to stand in the wings to watch Phyllis's performance in Sophisticated Ladies. It's evident that many of today's and yesterday's artists studied her. If only they would acknowledge it out loud. RIP Hinton.💙 The audio is from a 2018 interview Hinton did with Big Meach, "It's Never Too Late: An Intimate Interview with Hinton Battle," which can be found on YouTube.
