Released just over a year after Aaliyah’s death, I Care 4 U is not only a “greatest hits” compilation, but a comprehensive representation of the singer??s life and personality as well...
...their amazing technical proficiency. The three of them are widely heralded as some of the most talented rock musicians of their time and the remainder of the band are nearly, if not as, talented as the other members.

One in which an opera singer??s wretched performance was greeted by a barrage of wine flasks or “fiasci” at the offending artist. Hence the fiasco. But I digress. The supertuscan promiscuously blends a veritable smorgasbord of internationally known grape varieties. The veneer of its glamor has faded...
