I don't think about my success. I'm happy that the work I've done in the past has been very successful. All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope my fans feel where I'm coming from. I took the time to give my all."

- Aaliyah

R&B vocalist Aaliyah (Swahili for "exalted one") was born Aaliyah Haughton in New York in 1979 but grew up in Detroit, where she sang at church and school. By the time she was 11, Aaliyah was backing Gladys Knight in Las Vegas; before finishing high school she released her solo debut, 1994's Age Ain't Nothing But a Number, which went platinum thanks to hits like "Back and Forth" and "At Your Best (You Are Love)." After marrying her producer, R. Kelly, Aaliyah returned in 1996 with One In a Million, which featured cameos by rappers Treach and Slick Rick.

In 2000, she contributed four tunes to the Romeo Must Die soundtrack. The following year, she came out with her latest album, simply titled Aaliyah.

On August 25, 2001, tragedy struck when Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas. The R&B world mourned the death of the gifted singer, who was only twenty two years old.
