Alicia Keys first arrived on the scene in the early 2000s, rocking braids with beads and classic fedora hats. Keys got on everyone’s radar with her debut single “Fallin’” in 2001, showcasing that she not only had soulful vocals with incredible range but that her range extended into her musical abilities.

Not only did it spend several weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, “Fallin’” was nominated for four Grammy Awards in 2002 and ended up winning Song of the Year, Best R&B Song, as well as Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
