A firm believer in the power of the Quiet Storm, Phyllis Hyman provided vocals throughout the 1970s and '80s to people as varied as Pharaoh Sanders and Grover Washington, Jr. She was a smooth, gifted singer who was able to add an air of silky sophistication to some mediocre material. If you like your Soul music served in a crystal goblet while lying back in a black leather couch, Hyman is the one for you.
