Ralph V. Gilles is an automobile designer born in New York City to Haitian immigrants and raised in Montreal, Quebec.

Ralph Gilles - Chrysler Group Design V.P. Jeep and Truck

No stranger to success, Ralph has penned some of the more dramatic and eye-catching designs to come out of Chrysler in many years. It's no small accident that the new Dodge Ram has a new front grille evocative of the front grille on the Dodge Chargerâ€"familiar crosshairs, forward tilt, large Ram's head. But Ralph will be the first to tell you a unique design was only half the strategy. The other half needed to include segment leading technology and clever solutions to common problems truck guys have with their truck. This melding of style with function, we're guessing, will help keep Ralph a strong player in truck design.

Here is some info about Beyonce, her Creole heritage, and her link to Haiti from Answers.com

Beyonce's parents decided on her first name as a tribute to her mother's maiden name.

Beyonce's maternal grandparents, Lumis Albert Beyince and Agnez Dereon, were French-speaking Louisiana Creoles who are also from Haiti.

Her mother born here did not learn creole and did not teach it to Beyonce, a lot of people do that to their kids.

In the 60s Beyonce's grandmother did not think it was cool to teach her daughter creole since it was not cool to be associated with Haitian back then.

Beyonce explains it herself in the video, watch it now:

Jean-Michel Basquiat was a famous Haitian-American artist and ex-boyfriend of Famous American singer Madonna.

Madonna had a three- month affair with Jean-Michel Basquiat

Madonna and Jean-Michel Basquiat met in New York's Lucky Strike nightclub in the autumn of 1982. They were introduced by video-maker Ed Steinberg, who was working with Madonna on her debut single, Everybody.

Soon after meeting Jean-Michel Basquiat, Madonna moved into his Crosby Street loft and the pair were photographed there by Jean-Michel Basquiat's friend Steve Torton.

It was at this time that Madonna was featured in a fashion spread in The Village Voice, the article that started her obsession with keeping all her press clippings. Picking up the paper, Jean-Michel Basquiat's former girlfriend Suzanne Mallouk recognised the coat the singer was wearing as one she had left behind in Jean-Michel Basquiat's loft.

Of all Madonna's relationships, this is the oddest because it never seemed to be about power. On the face of it, there was little to connect the pair. Basquiat painted all night and slept all day, keeping what Madonna called "vampire hours". She, on the other hand, rose early, ate health food and never stopped hustling during daylight hours, keen to capitalise on the success of Everybody, which had just crashed into the dance charts.

In 1996, American singer Madonna wrote a short essay on Jean-Michel Basquiat for The Guardian prior to a show of his work at London's Serpentine Gallery.

"He was one of the few people I was truly envious of," she wrote. "But he didn't know how good he was and he was plagued with insecurities. He used to say he was jealous of me because music is more accessible and it reached more people. He loathed the idea that art was appreciated by an elite group When I heard that Jean-Michel had died, I was not surprised. He was too fragile for this world."
