Aaliyah passed away 17 1/2 years ago and today would have been her 40th birthday, which I learned because the radio was playing her songs in memory. I can't believe it's been that long.
Just watched the tribute music video for I Miss You and nearly started crying. Such a talent and so many good songs. Who knows how much more awesome music the Princess would have given us if she had not died.
I'm not a great thread maker but I thought she deserved something in her honor on a milestone birthday.
Post your favorite songs of hers and your thoughts/memories. I remember waking up on the day she died and my mom telling me that she had died in a plane accident. It was just a few weeks before 9/11. I was only 13. Fuck.
For those who don't know, she and eight others died in a plane crash after filming her music video "Rock the Boat" in the Bahamas. According to wiki, the pilot was unlicensed and had illicit drugs in his system. Fucking tragic and needless.
