Aaliyah aka “Baby Girl” entered our world at age 15 with her hit single “Back And Forth” with then producer and alleged husband, R. Kelly. Even with all that scandal she never let it deter her career and hit the charts until her death in 2001, when she was only 22 years old. If she was still she would be 39 years old.
