It has been almost 15 years since her death in a plane crash in the Bahamas in 2001 but R&B princess Aaliyah is still just as influential as she was during the late 1990s. The legendary singer would have celebrated her 37th Birthday today (16 January 2016) and while she is no longer with us, her talented vocals are still sought after by the new generation of musicians dominating the charts.
When she died in a plane crash on 25 August 2001 at the age of 22, Aaliyah Haughton was the pinnacle of mainstream R&B. With her winning combination of silky falsettos, slick choreography and fresh beats mostly created by producer Timbaland, Aaliyah was a force to be reckoned with. Songs such as One In A Million, We Need A Resolution, Try Again, At Your Best and Are You That Somebody? remain timeless.
