loosestudios Says:

Sep 7, 2009 - The song penned by Gil Scott-Heron, "Home Is Where the Hatred Is" -- a haunting account of drug use -- was lead track on "From a Whisper to a Scream" which went on to garner a Grammy nomination that year. When Phillips lost to the "Queen of Soul" Aretha Franklin, the soul diva presented the trophy to Phillips, saying she should have won it instead.[ Phillips' long-term heroin dependency, combined with heavy drinking, led to her death from liver and kidney failure in 1984, at the age of 48

Nov 20, 2009 - wow....thank you for the info. This Woman's voice and her presence on this song is Beautiful and Legendary...i was born in 1974, but the decade of the 70's holds so strong for me; i still remember alot, mostly in pictures of experiences and music just like this is it's first tenor that sparks the beauty of my Nostalgia...i wanna cry listening to this. it was rough back then. The struggle was in the music. thanks again and God Bless...Tish, NY RIP Miss Phillips, God Bless Gil Scott Heron.
