Hi Jesus,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Aaliyah, born Aaliyah Dana Haughton on January 16, 1979, was an influential American singer, actress, and model. Known for her smooth vocals and innovative style, she helped redefine R&B music in the 1990s with hits like "One in a Million" and "Try Again." Her promising career was tragically cut short when she died in a plane crash on August 25, 2001.
"Steady Ground" was released posthumously, in 2012; the date on this reel suggests it was recorded in March 2001, a few months before her death.
