*The life and legacy of Aaliyah will be chronicled in the upcoming ABC News special “Superstar: Aaliyah.”
The hour-long special will follow the R&B sensation who carved out her own niche in the genre with unique Timbaland-crafted sounds and vocal stylings that would influence generations to come as both a culture and fashion pioneer.
