To commemorate the 5th anniversary of Aaliyah’s death I thought it appropriate to look back at her style and her contribution to the music industry. Aaliyah self-anointed herself as the queen of ‘street but sweet’ – a term that fully encompassed her style and attitude. Since her death there has been a great void in the industry… I wish some of today’s young stars would take a leaf out of her book and fully appreciate the power of mystique and restraint. She would always disappear for a few years then come back stronger and more creative than ever… And her dancing and videos were so amazing! An open invite has been issued via her website for her fans to meet by Aaliyah's Weeping Willow Tree in Central Park, New York at 7pm tonight for a Candlelight Vigil honoring her memory. Visit www.aaliyah.com for more details and may she always Rest In Peace…Note: See previous Flashback: Pam Grier
