On the occasion of Phyllis' passing on 30 June 1995, BET put together this tribute to her and the other departed great ladies of song. (Probably one of the most tasteful things that televised talent ghetto has ever done.)

My Phyllis....I still can't believe you're gone my angel. I'm so honored to have shared the same time and space with you. You'll be with me until I'm with you again.
