Happy Heavenly Birthday to Magoo (born Melvin Barcliff on July 12, 1973 in Norfolk, Virginia).

“ I remember one time she {Aaliyah} called my hotel room back in LA, she called the phone and she was singing “All Good” by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. She did it six times, and I was going off. I didn’t know it was Aaliyah, and I was cussing that person out. Then Aaliyah actually called, and she was like “You want to go hang out?” and I was like “I’m a little upset right now. Somebody keeps calling my phone singing that Bone Thugs song” and she was like “Like this?” and she started singing it the same way. I never forgot that. ” – Magoo sharing a funny memory he had of Aaliyah.

Magoo once mentioned in an interview that he never got over Aaliyah’s death. 🥺
