You probably already found out by now.  The singers name is Kamakawiwiwo'ole, Israel, I heard it on an old ER show when Mark Greene died so I did a search and the singer has died but he has a website that sells his music

The last time I saw her was in the wedding scene of the movie "Click". It was pretty sad the way she was milking a few more drops out of "Linger". I hope she stays around and puts out some tunes because her voice is beautiful.

I think it is possible she could have been deliberately killed. She was with her boyfriend Dodi at the time who was a Muslim and if they had got married it would bee seen a s threat to British Royal family. It could have just been a freak accident but I think there was more to it.

Died, Sadly, Yes. And do to Drugs, Yes, However, Not by her own Doing. I believe through continuing research, That she Was Delivered An Anal-Toxic Overdose, Hence, No tell-tale Signs In the Stomach. Hmmmm?

R&B singer Ashanti is being sued by her former manager for breach of contract. The singer was hit with legal papers filed in New York City's Manhattan Federal Court today by Linda Berk, who is seeking an undisclosed sum for allegedly having her contract terminated in 2003. Berk, who first met Ashanti in 1993, claims she transformed her client into a "music and entertainment superstar" after signing a deal in 1999 to co-manage Ashanti with her mother Tina Douglas. A spokesperson for Ashanti says, "The contract naturally expired and we didn't renew it."\n\nTheir are rumors going around that Ashanti is pregnant. All I'm going to say is who knows? Congratulations to her if she is.

I think he was a thoughtful person and a brilliant lyricist, but I wouldn't call him a prophet by any means.\n\nAnd no, I don't think he's still alive. That's just wishful thinking on the part of conspiracy theorists.

Queen Latifah (real name: Dana Elaine Owens, born March 18, 1970) is an American Grammy Award-winning rap artist and singer, and an Academy Award-nominated actress.\n\nEarly life\nLatifah was born in Newark, New Jersey to African-American parents Lancelot Owens (a police officer) and Rita (a high-school art teacher); they divorced when she was eight years old. Her first performance involved singing the number "Home" from the musical, The Wiz, in a high school play. Her stage name, Latifah, means "delicate" and "sensitive" in Arabic. It was given to her when she was eight by her cousin. While in high school, she was a power forward on her basketball team. Her father also gave her lessons in karate and firearms use.\n\nMusic career\nLatifah started her career beatboxing for the rap group Ladies Fresh. In 1988, local DJ Mark the 45 King heard a demo version of Latifah's single, "Princess of the Posse", and gave the demo to Fab Five Freddy (who at the time hosted Yo! MTV Raps). Freddy helped Latifah sign with Tommy Boy Records. They released Latifah's first album, All Hail the Queen, in (1989); at the time, she was 18. This debut managed to be both a critical and commercial success and was followed by the albums Nature of a Sista and Black Reign, which contained the hit single, U.N.I.T.Y.. After releasing four rap albums (the fourth being Order in the Court, released in 1998), she released a soul/jazz standards album in 2004 called The Dana Owens Album.\n\nActing career\nFrom 1993 to 1998, Latifah had a starring role on Living Single, a FOX sitcom; she also wrote and performed its theme music. She began her film career as a supporting actress in movies like House Party 2 (1991) and Set It Off (1996).\n\nHer first big role was in the film version of the musical Chicago; her performance as Matron "Mama" Morton received an Academy Award nomination for "Best Supporting Actress". Latifah did not win the Oscar in 2003; however, that year she co-starred with Steve Martin in the film Bringing Down the House, which was a big success at the box office. Since then, she has had both leading and supporting roles in a multitude of films that received varied critical and box office receptions, including Scary Movie 3, Barbershop 2: Back in Business, Taxi, and Beauty Shop.\n\nHer latest film, released in early 2006, is a romantic comedy/drama entitled Last Holiday. Latifah has received some notably positive reviews for the role, including a statement by film critic Richard Roeper that "this is the Queen Latifah performance I've been waiting for ever since she broke into movies" [1].\n\nOther work\nLatifah is a celebrity spokesperson for Cover Girl cosmetics; she has starred in several commercials for the line, as well as a commercial with fellow spokeswoman and singer, Faith Hill. She has also had her own talk show, The Queen Latifah Show, from 1999 to 2001.\n\nOn January 4, 2006, Latifah received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She is the first female hip hop artist to do so.\n\nPersonal life\nLatifah's older brother Lance was killed in 1992, in a biking accident involving the motorbike that Latifah had just bought him. She still wears the key to the motorbike around her neck and dedicated Black Reign to him. In 1993, she was the victim of a carjacking, in which a friend of hers was shot. In 1996, she was arrested due to possession of a small amount of marijuana and a hand gun; she was fined and sentenced to two years probation.\n\nIn her 1999 autobiography, Ladies First: Revelations of a Strong Woman, Latifah discussed how her brother's death lead to a bout of depression and drug abuse, which she later recovered from.\n\nBecause of her portrayal of a lesbian in Set It Off and her avoidance of discussing her romantic life, tabloid media sometimes speculate that she is a lesbian. Latifah responded to these rumors in her autobiography by saying: "I
