On This Day in 2001: Remembering Aaliyah...

Remembering Aaliyah...the Princess of R&B.

Today marks 20 years since Aaliyah, the music artist once known as the Princess of R&B, tragically lost her life along with eight others to a plane crash in The Bahamas. She was 22.

Rest In Peace, Aaliyah... At Your Best (You Are Love)—which was released around the time I started my high school freshman year in August of 1994—and 2000's Try Again (which was featured in that year's Jet Li action film Romeo Must Die, with Aaliyah in the cast as well) are two of my favorite R&B and hip hop songs, ever.

You will be forever missed, Queen of Urban Pop... Another deserving nickname that was bestowed upon Aaliyah.
