Marvin Winans Mentions Aaliyah Wanting to do Gospel Album


Starting at 17:44 of the documentary “Aaliyah, Life, and Legacy”, Marvin Winans mentions Aaliyah Wanting to do a gospel album.

Footage of Aaliyah Singing “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”

 


Written by Gail Nobles 3/27/26

Watch the rare footage of Aaliyah singing "Great is thy Faithfulness." I believe Aaliyah would have been a great gospel singer. After watching Aaliyah sing: The Christmas Song (Christmas In Washington, 1997) there’s no way she wouldn’t have became a great gospel singer.

We’ll See Aaliyah Again Sooner Than We Think

Written by: Gail Nobles 3/27/26

Aaliyah’s gone, but we’ll see her again one day—sooner than we think. Look around. We are in a time of war, facing disasters and all sorts of challenges, just as Matthew 24 told us would happen. I don’t think this world will be here much longer; time is running out. 

 If we want to see Aaliyah again, or any of our loved ones, we need to strive to do our best for God and enter His kingdom. One day soon, I hope we will look up and see Aaliyah once more.

 As 1 Thessalonians 4:14 reminds us: "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." 

 1 Thessalonians 4:16  "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout... and the dead in Christ shall rise first".

 I thought of these words as I heard Shirley Caesar singing Sunday’s on the Way. Despite present suffering, despair, or the "Friday" of crucifixion/hardship, resurrection and victory are certain to happen. It’s a song of hope, promising that God's power will turn defeat into victory, because "Sunday is coming".

Aaliyah’s Dream Was Not Taken

 Written by: Gail Nobles 3/27/26

Aaliyah's dream wasn’t taken from her if she was truly a part of God’s plan—and we choose to believe she was. Those who had the privilege of knowing her, and even those who felt her spirit through her music, carry this understanding in their hearts. She continues to inspire so many of us, reminding us to pursue our passions and shine brightly, just as she did. 

 Aaliyah wanted to sing gospel, and I feel her presence in this gospel song. To all Aaliyah fans, let’s lift our spirits and listen to this song by Kingdom called "Fully Committed." 

 In my own journey, with every desire and capability, I am completely devoted to Your will and Your path, Jesus. I am ready to make sacrifices to fulfill Your requests. My love for You is eternal; You are everything I need. Though I can never truly repay You for what You've done for me, I offer this tribute as a token of my devotion.

**CHORUS** I dedicate my life, fully devoted to You. I dedicate my life, fully devoted to You. 

 Let’s come together to honor Aaliyah, celebrating her life and the incredible impact she had on the world.

Missing You




I have been seeing in the news that Aaliyah’s Auntie has been having some bad days here and there. I think she’ll be alright but keep her in your prayers. Yes, we miss those that are not here with us, but don’t forget the ones that are still with us.

I enjoy the song featuring Gladys Knight: Missing You

Seeing More of Aaliyah’s Family on Local News

 

By Gail Nobles 3/9/2026

It was shortly after Aaliyah's passing that I spotted more of her family on a local news station. They might have been relatives from her mother's side, but I’m not certain. They appeared to be the kind of family that resided in the countryside. I realize that I will likely never see that news segment about her family broadcasted on TV again as a rerun, and I would love to watch it once more. Hearing them talk about Aaliyah was really touching, especially knowing she was no longer with us. Seeing Aaliyah’s family members reminds me of my family members. I often wonder if we are related.
