Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Aaliyah Dana Haughton was that music business rarity: a teen idol who transformed herself into a critically acclaimed hip-hop soul artist, a singer who successfully made the transition to actress, and a beautiful woman who never let the trappings of celebrity go to her head. Following her impressive debut at age 14 with the album Age Ain't Nothin' but a Number, Aaliyah raised the bar with her hugely influential and bestselling follow-up, One in a Million. She then took her talents to Hollywood, starring in the action thriller Romeo Must Die and the highly anticipated horror film The Queen of the Damned. But soon after the release of her third album in the summer of 2001, Aaliyah's life was cut short in a tragic plane crash.

Here is the inspirational story of the star The Washington Post dubbed "Hip-Hop's Lady Di" — a woman who, by the time of her death at age twenty-two, touched legions of fans around the world with her haunting voice and gentle spirit.

Synopsis:

This is the biography of R & B singer Aaliyah, whose single, "More Than a Woman" was released as a memorial after her tragic death in a plane crash last summer. Aaliyah made her debut at the age of 14, and transformed herself into a critically acclaimed hip-hop soul artist and actress.

Aaliyah was and always will be my idol. I love her talent, beauty, courage, strength & maturity, and I respect her work with the utmost sincerity. I still cry now & then when I watch videos of her death incident, this will never go away, but I hope that one day I will meet her after this life is done with me. Aaliyah, you "Rock my Boat", you are "More than a Woman" and "YOU are That Somebody". I love you. You are with God. Stay blessed my sister.
