Which is why I get tired of hearing, "if only he/she knew..." People sound like parrots about a lot of things in life. How many times have we heard of somebody seeming "normal" the night before taking their lives? People really think a person isn't aware of the love in their lives, before deciding to end it? It's clearly not enough. I would never promote suicide, but I understand. A lot of the worlds problems comes down to pure selfishness. Some people can't handle it and want out. After a person takes their own life, the fact people usually talk about what everybody else wanted, says a lot.

She was very friendly and outgoing with everyone in the bathroom. I was so sorry to hear she passed away and was suffering alone due to mental illness.

I never heard of her prior to seeing her Unsung episode and it's sad that she suffered from bipolar disorder and took her own life. I wish she woulda gotten the help she needed sooner.

“Old Friend” is one of the most gut-wrenching song of all time. I get into a very sentimental zone everytime i hear it. RIP Phyllis.

I miss you.. she was so precious..I love you Phyllis

I remember my mother pulling over the car to cry after hearing the radio broadcast Phyllis’s death. I didn’t understand it then because I was a kid but as an adult I completely understand it now! To hear how such a beautiful and talented person was clearly tormented and in so much pain to be willing to take their own life is truly upsetting. To this day, if my mother hears the song “You know how to love me”, she tears up!

This Queen sang at my college homecoming back in the late 80s.

I love her. It hurts my heart that she was so troubled.

I've always felt her best music came after she left Arista. The songs felt more real and organic. She wasn't just singing something that someone wrote she was living in it. It's a shame she always had a guard up when it came to people around her but I'm good on Clive Davis. She saw how snakey he was and didn't wanna boot lick for him. She stayed true to her roots and didn't sell out and I will always respect her for that.
