Aaliyah: Rare Photo (Soul Train Awards, 1997)

🔁 via @sonyasspotlight: “Hard to believe it’s been 17 years since we lost #Aaliyah. I met her at the #SoulTrainAwards in #LosAngeles in the late 90s, and we took this photo together! 💗💗 I had followed her growth as an artist from the start of her singing career. She had such a #SweetVoice and a sweet spirit. After listening to an old tape just today of a past #StevieWonder interview, Stevie said he loved Aaliyah’s voice too. “I was in love with the voice of #Aaliyah,” he said. #🎶 #RestInHeaven #RIP#Aaliyah #ThrowbackThursday #Aaliyah#SonyaJenkins” | Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏🏽💚

Aaliyah: 40 år med P3 Soul (Swedish Radio Interview)

A huge shout out to my big sis @aaliyahalways for sharing this interview with myself. This was shared on Aaliyah's 17th Death Anniversary on the 25th. For anyone who hasn't checked this out, you can listen below, or go to the source link below and download for you own listening pleasure. I throughly enjoyed listening to this, and there are some parts which are so hilarious, but I'll try not to spoil it for you guys! 🙊 Let's just say that the audio quality is so crystal clear, that hearing Aaliyah's voice alone is very soothing to the ears! 😌💕 Here's a little synopsis of the interview from P3 Soul,which I translated into English for those who do not speak Swedish like myself. Happy listening! 😎 

"On August 25th, 2001, Aaliyah died in a crash in the Bahamas. Only 22 years old, she had already been involved in creating the framework for the future of high-tech soul.

Together with a young generation of R&B singers, she and the producer Timbaland made the music something more modern and electronic in the mid 90's.

In this week's podium special from 2001 you will hear one of Aaliyah's last interviews that was broadcast the day after her tragic passing away."

Aaliyah: Rare Photo

🔁 via @keeventdesigns: “So, I’ve been trying to figure out how to put into words how to share my feelings about the loss that was felt around the world. On August 25th, I came home from work and took a nap. I was awakened to have someone ask me if I’d heard the news. That she was gone. I was in disbelief. I denied that it was true. I thought the person was playing around, and I said that’s not funny. I was told to turn on the television and my stomach dropped. I had spoken to her a year prior about life and everyday stuff. On this day I lost a friend and the world lost a light. Aaliyah was one of those people you only meet once in a lifetime. She was my friend, she was a light to the world, and she was a beautiful soul. This image I took of her as we were playing around one day in school with no teacher supervision. She was silly, talented, thoughtful, and a true gem. It’s been 17 years and the hole in my heart has not healed. #Aaliyah #Morethanawoman” | Such a beautiful memory and picture to match. Thank you so much for sharing this gem with us all 🙏🏽💚
