AALIYAH Aaliyah was stylish, beautiful and talented, and her tragic early demise deprived us of a superstar in the making. Death, however, did not bring anonymity but apotheosis, as she took her place alongside the soul stars who had inspired her and became an icon to the fans who had followed her. Aaliyah tells the story of this precocious talent, from her childhood in Detroit to her catastrophic plane crash. It gives details of her rumour-shrouded involvement with R&B producer R. Kelly, when only fifteen, as well as describing her platinum-selling, ground-breaking work of the nineties, which paved the way for performers such as Destiny’s Child and Alicia Keys. 96 pages / 50 colour & b+w photos / 280 x 210mm ISBN 0 85965 327 7 ISBN13 978 0 85965 327 5 Paperback / UK £9.99 / US $16.95 |
