She was R&B’s “Baby Girl” and musical muse of artists Timothy “Timbaland” Moseley and Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott. She rocked the airwaves with “Back and Forth,” “One in a Million,” and “If Your Girl Only Knew” all before age 18. She was the princess of 90s R&B and Hip Hop and was on her way to establishing an edgy, sexier sound in music when her life was cut drastically short on August 25, 2001. Her name was Aaliyah Dana Houghton, and her energy echoed across the entertainment industry for eight wonderful years. Her creativity and magnetic spirit should not soon be forgotten as her influence still resonates today.
