Album notes
The recording of I REFUSE TO BE LONELY was in progress at the time of Phyllis Hyman's death in 1995. Personnel includes: Phyllis Hyman (vocals); Lewis Taylor, Ronald Kerber (saxophone); Peter Kent (concertmaster); Barbra Porter, Dianna Halprin, Charlie Bisharat, Bira Kliger, Cynthia Moussas, Yi Hu, Yi Taui, Renita Koven, John Scanlon, Suzie Katayama, Larry Corbett, Timothy Landauer, Diane M. Barnett, Diane Monroe (strings); Amy Shulman (harp); Joe Wolfe, Eddie Montilla (keyboards); Barry J. Eastmond (keyboards, bass); Dexter Wansel, Steven Ford, Michael Aharon (keyboards, percussion); Jay Oliver, Scott Alspach (keyboards, programming); Dave Gardner, Ray Fuller, Paul Jackson, Jr. (guitar); Dave "Jam" Hall (guitar, keyboards, programming); Jeff Lee Johnson (guitar, bass); Jud Friedman, (programming); Alexandra Brown, Larry Jacobs, Jean McClain, Nadirah Ali, Kevin Dorsey, Jim Haas, James E. Gilstrap, Vatrena King, Denise King, Jerome Chaney, Sharon Bryant (background vocals). Producers: Nick Martinelli, Jud Friedman, Kenneth Gamble, Steven Ford, Dexter Wansel, Phyllis Hyman, Dave "Jam" Hall, Barry J. Eastmond. Engineers: Bruce Weeden, Jay Oliver, Scott Alspach, Ron A. Shaffer, Craig White, John Anthony, Rob Paustin, Dave "Jam" Hall, Mark Partis, Barry J. Eastmond, Arthur Stoppe. Includes liner notes by Nancy Wilson. Singer Phyllis Hyman cut an imposing figure on the concert stage--from swinging jazz interpretations, to funky R&B and sultry balladry, she was truly a diva for all seasons. Brought up in Pittsburgh, she came of age professionally on the Florida music scene, and was a popular figure among jazz cognoscenti in New York whe she made her breakthrough in the Broadway production of Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Ladies." That personal demons should afflict an artist who seemingly had it all is not an uncommon tale on the American scene. And so it comes to pass that Miss Phyllis Hyman reaches out to her fans one last time on I REFUSE TO BE LONELY, a selection of songs that offer poignant hints at the turbulent ebb and flow beneath her glamorous visage. It is a lush, powerful recital, meant to signal a comeback not a wistful backward glance. The title tune is an anthem for all women who've ever emerged from a deep relationship only to confront profound solitude, and this theme of loneliness resonates throughout the album. Growling, Hyman descends into her lower register to symbolize the search for closure and emotional distance on "Waiting For The Last Tear To Fall." On "This Too Shall Pass," her voice takes on the vulnerability of a little girl; over a pulsing backbeat, she attempts to reassure herself that she possesses the necessary strength to come through it all. On the remaining selections, a sultry Hyman delves headlong into romanticism. The concluding song is especially touching, as she moves confidently from the confessional through the dramatic, urging us, ironically enough, to "Give Me One More Reason To Stay."
Editorial reviews
The troubled, truculent R&B diva never sounded richer or more expressive than on this album, completed just before her suicide... - Rating: B Entertainment Weekly (12/22/1995)
