    Ok everybody with this video it is time to do the signature MJB dance. If you call yourself a MJB fan, you know what I’m talking about 😂. 🕺🏾 Gotta throw them arms back and forth …get that hunch just right in your back…then toss in that unexpected kick 🦶🏽…BAM! Rinse and Repeat….

    Fun Facts:
    1. This album includes remakes of soul songs which earned her the nickname "Queen of Hip Hop/Soul". It was recorded when she was just 23 years old.
    2. She was dating another recording artist during this era (K-Ci of R&B group Jodeci).
    3. She stated in interviews in the past that she was so high the day she did the photoshoot for this album cover that she doesn't remember doing it.
    4. She cried while she was singing during the recording sessions for this album because of the abusive relationships, drug abuse, and other turmoil happening in her life. The pain comes through in the other songs on this album (like the track My Life). Be Happy is the last track on the album because that's what she wanted the most during this period in her life.

    This song speaks to the yearning for real love and the innate happiness that comes with it but being stuck feeling love for a man who ultimately keeps you unhappy. Mary was going through it during this period in her life and she poured her heart and soul into the songs on this sophomore album.

    When you say Sunset playlist, I think of crusin' music. Something smooth and groovy that you drive down a highway to as the sun is going down, so here's my playlist:
    5. Majid Jordan - Every Step, Every Way
    4. Tame Impala - The Less I Know, The Better
    3. Mette - Darling Drive
    2. Kaytranada ft Tinashe - The Worst in Me
    1. Victoria Monet ft Lucky Daye - Smoke

    This is one of my favorite Mary J. Blige songs. I concur with the other commenters that she definitely deserves a Week 2. So many other hits!
    Sunset Week suggestions below:
    - Ashanti - Baby
    - Mariah Carey - Say Something
    - Keith Sweat - Twisted
    - Bobby Valentino - Slow Down
    - Anthony Hamilton - Magnolia's Room
    - I15 - Lost In Love
    - Ledisi - In The Morning
    - Omarion - Speendin'
    I'm on the fence with some of these qualifying as a "sunset" song, but whatever.

    Everytime this song plays I cant help but do the Mary dance 💀 This is a timless classic. I’m obsessed with songs that are on the same album (My Life), like “Mary Jane (All Night Long)”. I hope y’all get to that song in another week dedicated to Mary. I hope the commenter also chose a song from her 1992 debut album, “What’s the 411”. She changed the sound of R&B with her classic hit “Real Love”. “Everything” from her 1997 album “Share My World” is also one of my favorite Mary J Blige songs. It’s actually my 2nd most played song on Spotify. I hope y’all get to that song. Mary has too many hits for only 1 week to do her justice.
    Toni Braxton Week 1!
    #5. He Wasn’t Man Enough
    #4. Breathe Again
    #3. You’re Makin’ Me High
    #2. Just Be A Man About It
    #1. Unbreak My Heart
    Please do Toni Braxton. She is one of the best selling female artists of all time, has several Grammys and other awards, was one of the leading acts of the 90s, and she is known for her numerous hits and her very distinct and unique voice, trust me you guys would love it. I couldn’t fit all of her hits in this list, but I think these may be some of her best and most important songs. A week dedicated to this legend would be amazing.

    @weeklytop5 hi Joe and Mike. Sooooo where to begin, I’m glad you like the song in it’s totality. I gave this particular video because I wanted suggest something from Mary’s earlier catalog. Unfortunately, most of the videos at that time visual quality is not very good. And as to your point to the repetitiveness in the video, most of Mary’s earlier videos are shot the same way, there’s really not a plot. Just great music and awesome dancing. Maybe during a MJB week 2, we can get the more cinematic ones. ( wink wink wink) I luv you guys. @peerlesskells9377 has a great list. 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
