Watch: maryjblige performs 'Family Affair' at the 2022 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.
As for the legacy she is creating? “Mary J Blige is a person that has given so much of her life and her time to the world and has struggled,” she said. “I just hope that my legacy is that I’ve given and that I’ve loved and that I’ve worked hard. All those things. And that I’ve inspired generation after generation.”
Blige performed “Good Morning Gorgeous” off of her latest album of the same name, riffing to appreciative applause. She then asked the audience to stand for her all-time hit “Family Affair,” a request the crowd was happy to oblige. “We’re all family here,” she said before she launched into the song. Guests like director Taika Waititi, activist Tarana Burke, and actor Andrew Garfield could be clearly seen enjoying the performance.
