Aaliyah is a very well-respected name in Hip-hop and R&B. She was a star during her teens and got 5 Grammy nominations. Her shining career was dreadfully cut short by her death in a plane crash at age 22. She only released 3 albums, Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number (1994) went platinum and two of its singles went gold, “Back and forth” and “At Your B...

Her most popular songs are He Loves Me, The Way, and A Long Walk. She also wrote ...

Her most popular songs include “Neither One of Us Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye,” “Midnight Train to Georgia,” and “I’ve Got to Use My Imagination.” She also recorded “That’s What Friends Are For” with Stevie...
Another artist that refreshingly meted in R&B, Hip-hip, jazz, and Neo-soul was this baddie. Her debut album Baduizm was full of profound lyrics and languorous, delicate vocals with bass-heavy music. It included her hit On & On which won her a Grammy. She later dropped a live album which included “Next Lifetime” and “Tyrone.” Her 2008 album “New Ame...
Etta James fused the passion of R&B with the glam of jazz. If you’ve ever been to a wedding you’ve probably heard one of her hit singles “At Last”. Her gospel-based voice is gutsy, deep, and goosebumps-worthy. Her hit songs include “If I Can’t Have You,” “Tell Mama” “I’d Rather Go Blind”, and “All I Could Do Was Cry.” Her turbulent yet magnificent ...
It’s only right that we talk about Ms. Lauryn Hill after mentioning “Killing Me Softly With His Song”. She was a part of the iconic, multi-platinum-selling group The Fugees. She later released her solo debut album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill where she popularized melodic rap and integrated neo-soul, reggae, R&B, and hip-hop into one empowering ...
