Aaliyah: A Career to Remember

In 22 short years, Aaliyah left an indelible mark.

Timeless - Hands down one of Aaliyah's most classic songs and music videos, "Rock the Boat," directed by Hype Williams and choreographed by Fatima Robinson, was set to take Aailyah's career into the stratosphere. On return from shooting the video on location in the Bahamas, Aaliyah and some members of her record label and glam squad died in a fatal plane crash.(Photo: Virgin Records)
