After recording a memorably gloomy cover of The Stylistics' 1971 hit "Betcha By Golly Wow" that appeared on Norman Connors' 1976 "You Are My Starship" album, Hyman was signed to Buddah and began work on her debut. The album featured the hits "Loving You - Losing You," a mid-tempo disco groove and "I Don't Want to Lose You," an emotional heart-rending R&B ballad (originally recorded by The Spinners). Phyllis Hyman has since been re-issued on CD. This re-issue is out of print, 8 of the tracks are available on The Best of Phyllis Hyman - The Buddah Years issued by Sequel Records in 1990. In 1996 RCA records issued the CD Loving You, Losing You, The Classic Balladry of Phyllis Hyman that included a previously unreleased track from the 1977 recording session; "Sounds Like a Love Song".
