Mary J. Blige Songs That Made Her a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer [Video]

No matter what you’re dealing with, Mary J. Blige has a song that will get you through it. New romance, post-break up glow up, self-confidence pep talk and of course, heartbreak, Mary has you covered.

The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is the soundtrack to Black culture. If you’re at a cookout, “Family Affair” is absolutely getting played. Later in the evening, your tipsy aunts will definitely belt out “I’m Goin’ Down.” She spans generations, gender, race and religion.

To celebrate her class of 2024 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we’re highlighting some of our favorite Mary J. Blige songs. Also, shoutout to Kool & The Gang; A Tribe Called Quest; Big Mama Thornton; Dionne Warwick; and Suzanne de Passe, who are also set to be inducted.
