Aaliyah: More Than a Woman

Aaliyah: More Than a Woman Book Description

Aaliyah Dana Haughton was that music business rarity: a teen idol who transformed herself into a critically acclaimed hip-hop soul artist, a singer who successfully made the transition to actress, and a beautiful woman who never let the trappings of celebrity go to her head. Following her impressive debut at age 14 with the album "Age Ain't Nothin' but a Number," Aaliyah raised the bar with her hugely influential and bestselling follow-up, "One in a Million." She then took her talents to Hollywood, starring in the action thriller "Romeo Must Die" and the highly anticipated horror film "The Queen of the Damned." But soon after the release of her third album in the summer of 2001, Aaliyah's life was cut short in a tragic plane crash.

Here is the inspirational story of the star "The Washington Post" dubbed "Hip-Hop's Lady Di" -- a woman who, by the time of her death at age twenty-two, touched legions of fans around the world with her haunting voice and gentle spirit.

Christopher John Farley has contributed to Aaliyah: More Than a Woman as an author. Christopher John Farley, a graduate of Harvard University, is the music critic for "Time" magazine, and interviewed Aaliyah shortly before the accident that claimed her life. He is the author of the novel "My Favorite War" and is working on a new novel about the Caribbean titled T"he Chocolate Gale." He lives in New York City.
