...of Soul and Hip Hop Soul. Both Aretha Franklin and Mary J. Blige sang about the trials and triumphs of life and love.
Aretha Franklin--"Ain't No Way." Good God, this song gives me chills. Listen to the song HERE.
Mary J. Blige--"Be Happy" (1994). This song is from the My Life album, arguably the best album she ever recorded, imho. Her voice is so raw and emotional in every track. You can literally feel her pain and her joy in every note. I would say "Be Happy" is my life song. It's so universal. Who doesn't desire to be happy? "Life is too short to be trying to play some games." Well said, Mary.

That is the major reason I love MJB, her voice can be so powerful but that emotion behind it can not be masked. Nicee song, "Be Happy".
