Budding R&B superstar Aaliyah was tragically killed in a plane crash in 2001.
Aaliyah was discovered at age fifteen by R. Kelly, who mentored and (controversially) married her early in her career.
Aaliyah scored her first major hit, "Back & Forth," when she was only 15.
Aaliyah means, "highest, most exalted one" in Swahili.
Aaliyah held her own next to martial arts star Jet Li in the flick "Romeo Must Die." Find all your favorite Aaliyah ringtones and Aaliyah realtones below.
