Aaliyah: Gone But Never Forgotten


Talented. Driven. Beautiful. Mysterious.

All these words can describe Aaliyah Dana Haughton. A noted dancer, singer and actress, Aaliyah was the proverbial triple threat. Born in Brooklyn but raised in Detroit, Aaliyah rose to superstardom in the mid-90's with the release of her debut album, Age Ain't Nothin' But A Number. She followed her debut with the even more popular sophomore release, One In A Million, which saw the singer align with the now mega-producer, Timbaland. Aaliyah went on to star in major motion picture films and release her self-titled third album before her untimely death in 2001. Today we celebrate Aaliyah's birthday. She would have been 31 years old.
