Aaliyah Dana Haughton (/ɑːˈliːə/; January 16, 1979 - August 25, 2001), known mononymously as Aaliyah, was an American singer, actress, dancer, and model. She has been credited for helping to redefine contemporary R&B, pop and hip hop, earning her the nicknames the "Princess of R&B" and "Queen of Urban Pop".
Born in Brooklyn and raised in Detroit, she first gained recognition at the age of 10, when she appeared on the television show Star Search and performed in concert alongside Gladys Knight. At the age of 12, Aaliyah signed with Jive Records and her uncle Barry Hankerson's Blackground Records. Hankerson introduced her to R. Kelly, who became her mentor, as well as lead songwriter and producer of her debut album, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number. The album sold three million copies in the United States and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). After facing allegations of an illegal marriage with Kelly, Aaliyah ended her contract with Jive and signed with Atlantic Records.
Aaliyah worked with record producers Timbaland and Missy Elliott for her second album, One in a Million, which sold three million copies in the United States and more than eight million copies worldwide. In 2000, Aaliyah appeared in her first film, Romeo Must Die. She contributed to the film's soundtrack, which spawned the single "Try Again". The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 solely on airplay, making Aaliyah the first artist in Billboard history to achieve this goal. After completing Romeo Must Die, Aaliyah filmed her role in Queen of the Damned, and released, in 2001, her self-titled third and final studio album, which topped the Billboard 200.
On August 25, 2001, Aaliyah died at the age of 22 in an airplane accident in the Bahamas, when the badly overloaded aircraft she was traveling in crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all nine on board. The pilot was later found to have traces of cocaine and alcohol in his body and was not qualified to fly the aircraft designated for the flight. Aaliyah's family later filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the aircraft's operator, Blackhawk International Airways, which was settled out of court. In the decades since her death, Aaliyah's music has continued to achieve commercial success, aided by several posthumous releases, and she has sold an estimated 24 to 32 million albums worldwide. Her accolades include three American Music Awards and two MTV VMAs, along with five Grammy Award nominations. Billboard lists her as the tenth most successful female R&B artist of the past 25 years, and the 27th most successful in history.
Aaliyah was initially entombed in a crypt on the third floor of the expansion wing of Ferncliff Cemetery's main mausoleum in Hartsdale, New York. In April 2005, she was moved to a private room at the end of a corridor in the Rosewood Mausoleum. The inscription "BABY GIRL" appears on Aaliyah's crypt. Her father Michael, who died eleven years later in 2012 at age 61, is interred in the crypt directly above her.
Ferncliff Cemetery and Mausoleum is located at 280 Secor Road in the hamlet of Hartsdale, town of Greenburgh, Westchester County, New York, United States, about 25 miles (40 km) north of Midtown Manhattan. It was founded in 1902, and is non-sectarian. Ferncliff has three community mausoleums including columbariums, a crematory, a small chapel, and a main office located in the rear of the main building.
In this video I also visit the graves of Heavy D. , Jam Master Jay, Ed Sullivan , Judy Garland, and Malcom X.
Stunning Cemetery and Mausoleum. Nice vid 👍👏

@@SCOTTONTAPE I did
@@SCOTTONTAPE I still can't believe how much Scott looks like Vin Diesel
Aaliyah was amazing. Talk about being taken too soon. I can only imagine what else she would've created for us to listen too. So tragic. Sidenote: Scott, I like how you incorporated other famous people in this video. So versatile, yet it still flows. Also love the symbolism of a rock on a grave. I get why you didn't leave one this time though.
I totally agree also love the rock symbolism 🙏🏾
I remember hearing of Aaliyah's passing and I balled as if a member of my family died. She was my favorite and her music brought me through a lot. She'll forever be a icon and I still listen to her music as much now as I did then. Heavy D was another one of my favorites, we've lost so many good ones. 🥺 Thank you so much for bringing me here so I can pay my virtual respect, I'm so grateful you do what you do, thank you Scott. ❤️
Rip aailyah
What a beautiful mausoleum. It is hard to believe the beautiful Aaliyah has been gone for 20 years. It was surprising how many celebrities are in this cemetery. Thanks for sharing with us.
Aaliyah no words to describe how talented and amazing she was her sound was off the charts! Even today no one in my eyes can compare to her one and a million ❤️ RIP baby girl
Aaliyah’s dad is buried right on top of her. He passed away back in 2011 (I believe).
Yes he is, he passed in 2012 at age 61. I forgot to mention that thank you
Yes, I believe he had cancer.
@@aliciag946 from searching my google Michael died of Kidney Failure & Cancer.
She was also a victim of R Kelly
@@unicornprincess8896 maybe
Heavy D and Aaliyah were two and still are two of my absolute favourites. Pioneers in the industry that still influence artists. Toss in Run DMC (my first rap tape ever was Tougher than Leather), and you’ve just inspired another playlist for the phone…well done!
I remember watching MTV( when they actually showed/played music) and it going across the screen that she passed. So sad she was so gorgeous, so talented- it’s very tragic. Absolutely Beautiful where she is. Thank you for taking us🙏🏻
I love your soothing voice when you speak of loved ones passed . So respectful . 🙏♥️
I still remember when I learned she died, and I couldn't believe it. She was so extremely talented and beautiful.
Ferncliff is amazing. Just the entry doors to the main mausoleum are gorgeous. I was there over a 2 day period in 2004. I walked the halls and researched who was buried there before hand. Joan Crawford , the Revson family, Madame Chang Kai shek,Basil Rathbone and many more. They really rich have little private rooms. The ground burials are hard to find. Your vids are top notch! I look forward to all of them.
What a beautiful cemetery Scott. I can't believe it's been 20 years since Aaliyah died. I can only imagine what an impactful career she would have had. Rest in peace to everyone who left too soon. ❤️
Amen💞
She would've surely surpassed beyonces level of fame now if she was here still doing what she does best...🙏💯
Alot of amazing talented people gone way to soon ❤️... Wish they were all still here with us ❤️. We will see them all again after life
Aaliyah was a amazing singer and person and actress she is truly missed RIP Aaliyah .
What a varied group of people. I think I remember when they moved Judy Garland to Hollywood Forever since there would be more room for other family members to be laid to rest there near her. Malcom X lived in my town (Lansing, Michigan) for a time. I drive by the plaque in town quite often. I hope you are staying healthy and warm and are no where near the monster storm we are having here in the U.S. Thank you for this very interesting video Scott and have a great night. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵
I just love the way you place the stone and then brush the tombstone with your hand. So loving and respectful 😍😍😍😍
I love Aaliyah, I’m now 42 and can still sing every word lol. She was also the reason so many of us women wore the tops of our thongs out of the tops of our jeans.
This is where Judy Garland was interred at, until her children and grandchildren had her moved to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood behind Paramount Pictures Studios. Other famous interments there are Adolph Cesar who won the best supporting actor Oscar for the movie “A Soldiers Story”, plus was the voice on a cartoon show “Silver Hawks” where he voiced the character of “Hot Wing”and another is “Moms Mabley” who was on one of first stand up comedians and was in an HBO documentary drama that was hosted and produced by Whoopi Goldberg.
Plane was overloaded with too many people and equipment where it couldn’t take off easily and crashed. Don’t forget She also did a movie with Jet Li called “Cradle to the Grave” and also “Queen of the Dammed” off of one of the late Anne Rice’s books.
20 years.... I was away in canaries at the time, I was shocked... I was 19, think one of friends her sister rang or text saying that she had died and then 9/11, within two weeks 😳
Aaliyah was making an Anne Rice movie that had to finish without her. Her brother did her voice for the rest of the movie.
Malcolm X Wow Scott Yes could be a whole video YES SIR So many talented souls here. RIP to All
James Baldwin, Yul Brenner, Joan Crawford, Jim Henson, Alan Freed, Moms Mabley, Paul Robeson, Oscar Hammerstein.....Thank you Scott for another awesome video💟
Hi Scott! Her father is actually interred in the crypt directly above hers..I miss her so much..she was a beautiful soul! I think the other two spots is for her mother and brother… Malcom X has inspired a lot of men such as Judge Greg Mathis..
I miss Aaliyah so much, what a loss. I can't wait to watch this tonight. Much love! ❤
Ironically Scott, I’m from Hollis, Queens. I was slightly older. 👵🏻👵🏻. Your videos are amazing. Each one touches my heart in a special way. So proud to be a supporter. Keep up the great work thank you for Malcolm X and his wife Betty
What a beautiful video Scott. Baby girl was definitely taken way too soon. Her music will always live on through her fans new and old ❤️lots of love from Illinois ❤️
She was a beautiful lady and had beautiful voice I miss her so much
It's God who creates talent we are just vehicles. Always give thanks to God for everything. Peace bro.
Another great video wow i think u may be one of the first ones to ever go to Malcolm X's Grave u the man Scott I've never seen anyone else show Malcolm X and i follow a lot of ppl who do the cemetary videos your just on another level bro like i said u the man, Malcolm would be a good video on it's own now that we in Black history Month stay safe and alert out there a lot of crazies in this world ✌
Thank you so much I’ll definitely be going back to do a video just about Malcolm X. It was very humbling being there and to be honest I was in shock as I was not expecting to visit his grave that day
@@SCOTTONTAPE yea it shocked me too when u said Malcolm X i was like oh wow cause I'd never seen anyone document him b4 pretty cool stuff
@@SCOTTONTAPE if you ever come back, we also have the Gates of Heaven Cemetery which is literally 10 minutes from Ferncliff which has many celebrities as well from James Cagney, to Babe Ruth, John Gotti and many more. Westchester has been famous for many celebrities past and present.
Beautiful Mausoleum & Cemetery. I absolutely loved Aaliyah, Heavy D, Jam Master Jay. If I'm not mistaken Heavy D was one of the first people to discover DMX. Ed Sullivan was a big influence on my mother growing up. There are a lot of famous people at the Mausoleum & Cemetery. May they all Rest In Peace 🙏🕊️. Thanks for doing this Scott. Great Video 👌👍
Wow. Amazing how many celebs are buried in a cemetary in upstate NY. I was such a huge fan of Aaliyah. Her music is still so amazing to listen to today. What a tragedy it was to lose her so young
Right outside of the Bronx, literally a 15 minute drive..
Scott got it wrong when he said Upstate NY. Ferncliff is literally a 5 minute walk for me and we are in Westchester County, NY which is just outside of New York City.
@@misshelena6930 u cute
I loved Aaliyah 's song "Rock the Boat also a great video . One of the cassette tapes I bought when I was a teenager was RUN DMC .Heavy D was one of my favorite rappers back in the day. Also Judy Garland and I share the same birthday June 10th . RiP Aaliyah , JMJ ,Heavy D and Judy Garland 🙏 ➕💝
Forever My Crush RIP Aaliyah🕊🕊🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great video. You've treated everyone with respect. Blessings to you.
Blessings indeed. So calm, sweet & respectful.
Thank you for including Malcolm & Dr. Betty Shabazz. Appreciate your channel. You're very respectful of the Dead.
No way I was literally listening to Cab Calloway less than an hour ago and even messaged a friend about him with the link to Minnie the Moocher hahaha!
Amazing video as per usual from you. Very respectful and you seem very sweet so it's always a pleasure watching your channel. Keep up the great vids 🎉

Aaliyah was beyond her time, she was an amazing artist & tragically taken far too soon. Ive noticed recently there are alot of remixes of her songs, nice that her music is kept alive. Thanks for another fab vid Scott. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

This is a very lovely tribute to all those in the public eye that we lost 🌹Thank you so much I appreciate this video because it represented most of my youth ... Love ❤
Aaliyah’s mausoleum is beautifully decorated and this mausoleum is beautiful. She had such a bright future.

You Deserve A Hall Of Fame Award In Honoring The Legacy Of Our Favorite Famous People Thankyou Scott Of Reminding Us Why We Love Them Before And After Becoming Famous. God Bless You
I used to watch the Ed Sullivan show. Malcolm X, Cab Callaway, Aaliyah, beautiful mausoleum and cemetery awesome video Scott. Thanks for sharing and take care ❤
Yessss I would love a full video on Malcolm X starting with Audubon Room where he was murdered
Your channel is better then any of the you tube explorers because you don't focus on your own life,you actually explore. You deserve more subscribers.
Hey Scott! Great video. So glad you went back and put that rock on Jam Master J. Whew! Have you ever heard of putting a quarter on the grave? I’ve heard you do that if you were at the funeral. We did that for my Daddy. He’s buried at the military cemetery in Pegram, TN. Absolutely beautiful place. Thanks for showing us around! ❤️
Love your videos- it’s like I get to pay my respects to such gifted talents, because of your channel. Thank you!!!!
Great video Scott as always.. your content is the best lately thank you for always entertaining us. Lots of love from UK ❤️❤️🇬🇧
You are so respectful of all the people in the different cemeteries, Thank you. Continued Blessings
Binge watching replays. Thanks for sharing your channel with us ❤
Very cool cemetary, you should see who else is there. I'm surprised by the people you already listed. 5hanks for taking us along Scott.
Scott coming thru with the videos during a snow storm YES 🙌🏾
Cab Callaway and heavy d are also linked by the Janet Jackson music video for her song alright.
Yes they were.. That's a great video
Such a talanted performer. 😍❤️
I love Aaliyah! Back when I was in high school I had always wore my hair like her. With one side of her bangs coving one of her eyes. I just was obsessed with her hair style and voice🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾
Aaliyah is one of the best singers of all time. Her song Rock the boat was the best song she ever did.
Thanks for posting this! I'm a huge Aaliyah fan as well. Hopefully one day I can go and visit Aaliyah resting place. RIP 🕊️💐👑❤️🕯️
R.I.P. Sullivan 🙏🌹🌹🌹
She was so beautiful and talented. Definitely taken way too soon. Beautiful video, Scott! 🕊️🙏❤️
