Description:

Liner Note Author: Brian Chin .
Arrangers: Jerry Peters; McKinley Jackson.
The Phyllis Hyman entry in the Platinum & Gold Collection series concentrates on the singer`s most commercially successful years, from the late `70s through the early `80s (also her Buddah and Arista years), while including a stray pick from later recordings. As with most of the other discs in this midline series, it`s short and sweet, but it`s rather peculiar in that it sacrifices a few chart entries -- "Can`t We Fall in Love Again," "Riding the Tiger," and "No One Can Love You More" are absent -- for album cuts and a small clutch of obscurities. This approach doesn`t make the disc the best summation of Hyman`s career, especially if you want all the radio hits. However, the disc does help illustrate the depth of the Hyman`s discography. "Some Way," an album cut that`s also one of James Mtume and Reggie Lewis` finest productions, along with a pair of 1980 outtakes produced by Norman Connors and Chuck Jackson (neither of which have appeared on a U.S. release until now), has the right to be here. ~ Andy Kellman
