Mary J. Blige: "Family Affair" | Live at the 2022 TIME100 Gala

Description

Mary J. Blige knows how to get a party started, and how to end one with a bang. The singer, songwriter, and actor—and 2022 TIME100 honoree—closed out the TIME100 Gala on Wednesday night in New York City by bringing her fellow honorees and gala guests to their feet with an energetic performance of her classic hits over the ages.

For Blige, a Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated, multi-talented icon who has been a fixture of show business since her start in New York hip-hop in the 1990s, being on the TIME100 list—as a cover star—was no small honor. “I never dreamed in a million years I’d be on the cover of TIME Magazine,” she told TIME. Blige had a breakout moment at February’s Super Bowl LVI, where she joined fellow hip-hop icons Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent for their throwback performance, but her musical hits span decades, and her acting has earned accolades.
