the Secret with this Angel is to listen to her voice..try block out everything else and hear her voice...angelic.
angelic but clear and powerful, gentle still... and feeling, emotion. she never sang anything but but what she felt and knew. this is her straight up. she had given us all of her and she was tired
what a magnificent person...6 feet 3 inches tall. absolutely beautiful, feminine and as talented as any human comes into this world

Quote:I used to have a toss up between she and Chaka. I dropped that! I did not have to choose between at all. they are both mine.
but Phyllis had a clarity, vocal diction that was crystal clear, stupendous, incredible, beyond words and so full of emotion. I don't believe Phyllis ever performed save she was doing it for real. she gave us all of her..there was no more to give I guess
Phyllis was so magnificent, tall and so beautiful, such a voice, unique. Phyllis was shaped by eternity simply too much for life, to last long in it. I am so glad my life coincided with hers and I could hear her..A VOICE OF LIFE
Phyllis is a one in an age factor of reality. she is an angel...they do not come by often..not that I know of anyway

A visitor who knows only a little about George Washington Carver's life before coming to this exhibition will have the experience of looking up from a single cotton boll to the white-flecked sea of a cotton field. Carver led a rich life, and this exhibition does justice to its drama and complexity. Over the course of an hour or so, visitors who thought of Carver as "the peanut man"—as did many of his contemporaries—discover he was a teacher and researcher whose natural curiosity and humanitarianism set an example that has inspired generations.
A two-minute video introduces the exhibition by sketching the highlights of Carver's extraordinary life, whetting the appetite for the material to come. Historic photographs and original artifacts capture the story of his dramatic infancy, telling how young George was born a slave in 1864, brought to death's door by whooping cough, kidnapped, orphaned, and emancipated before he was a year old. A diorama of the Missouri farm where Carver grew up and samples of his childhood hobbies of sketching and fossil-collecting help visitors imagine him running through the fields of the rural south, awakening to a love of nature that lasted his whole life. One of the most remarkable artifacts on display is a linen tablecloth embroidered with delicate tulips, a product of Carver's hands: Weakened by disease, he learned sewing, knitting, and embroidery to help around the house.
The exhibit also tells the story of Carver's 20-year struggle for higher education. Having outgrown several local and regional high schools, Carver sought education at three different colleges. The first college that accepted him turned him away when it discovered he was black. At the second, Simpson College in Indianola, Indiana, Carver's teachers encouraged him to pursue the arts. Examples of his sketches illustrate why their recommendations were so strong. However, Carver decided that he wanted to help poor black farmers and that a degree in agriculture would serve him best. He graduated from Iowa State College in 1896.
