#ONTHISDAY  “Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number” single is recorded in 1993 and released December 6, 1994.
The controversial song is about a young underage girl being interested in an older man. She notices him checking her out and gives him the green light to pursue their inner burning desires for each other; assuring him that their age difference shouldn't matter (being down for whatever). The song was written and produced by an older male (RKelly).
The music video was directed by Millicent Shelton ( @shelton9mil ) and filmed in Detroit, Michigan in late 1994 and has cameo appearance from her brother Rashad Haughton as well as appearances by rappers Proof and Bizarre from D12.
DID YOU KNOW: In May 1997, music publisher Windswept Pacific filed a lawsuit against Aaliyah with the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles citing that she illegally copied Bobby Caldwell's 1978 song "What You Won't Do for Love" and that "Age Ain't Nothing but a Number" bears a striking resemblance to Caldwell's song. There are little to no details about the settlement of that case.
Yes, you read that correctly. Not only was Aaliyah dealing with the backlash of the song lyrics, the marriage certificate scandal, and overcoming being blackballed in the industry, but she was also dealing with being sued a month before her high school graduation. That's a lot she had to deal with, but she pushed through!

Bobby Caldwell, R.I.P. I think every used record store in the country must have had a copy of this 1978 shaped record at some point. It’s enjoyably cheesy, which is totally appropriate for the top-10 hit, which remains a mainstay of supermarket music systems to this day. While he never had another hit himself, Caldwell went on to write an arguably even bigger slice of 80s cheese that went to number one—the Peter Cetera/Amy Grant duet, “Next Time I Fall In Love.”

Terminal Discharge took to the Caravan to drop some extreme metal, including a brief tribute interlude to #BobbyCaldwell. Openers Emergency Broadcast System werent shabby too.

Rest in peace to blue-eyed Bobby Caldwell a R&B Superstar that hid his white identity to be able to sing to a black audience. #bobbycaldwell #ripbobbycaldwell https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2iep9s6Rn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

RIP Bobby Caldwell. #Repost @questlove with @use.repost ・・・ Man. I have never played close but no cigar/near phone tag with any human on earth than this gentleman. On #thatsite I’ve told the story many a time that I told @Common that maybe we should lose the beat to “The Light” cause it wasn’t “Dilla enough” 😭——but Rash saw something in it man——he was like “naw man imma write to this” (later found he he wrote it already 🤣😂) —-I wasn’t mad at it but at that time as a sophomore at “Dilla U” I thought I had Dilla all figured out and NONE of his trademark characteristics were rhythmically there…where are the drunken drums? The odd patches….I mean he did a normal G Funk jawn cause Quik was one of his fav producers but iuuno this just sounds “normal” (I’m not even gonna get into the “whose on first” battle between Ohio Players & Detroit Emeralds thing that almost caused a minor rift in our brotherhood 🤣😂 #IYKYK) but man I’m so glad I was wrong about this. I got word Brother Bobby loved it like in 2001 & so many “we’ll be in town let’s meet” or later on w Fallon “let’s have you sit in!” opportunities missed. & now you’re gone and I never got a chance to kick it with you & hear your story. Caldwell was the closing chapter in a generation in which record exes wanted to hide faces on album covers so perhaps maybe their artist could have a chance (listen to De La Soul’s MASTERFUL “Patti Duke” on Balloone)——commonplace for black artists (see Smokey/Miracles “Mickeys Monkey” or the Isleys “This Old Heart Of Mine” covers….on on the other side NONE of us knew Gino Vanelli, Teena Marie, the literal named Average White Band——and yeah Bobby were NOT black) Man such a missed opportunity to meet a legend. Thank you for your voice and gift #BobbyCaldwell https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0O4WPsSuf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
