Mary J. Blige put out her first album, “What’s the 411,” in 1992, according to the Grammy Awards. But she didn’t win her first Grammy until three years later. Her collab track with Method Man, “I’ll Be There For You/ You’re All I Need To Get By,” earned the award for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group in 1995. It took another eight years for her to win a Grammy on her own with the 2003 number “He Think I Don’t Know,” a song from her fifth album (via the Grammy Awards). Plenty of other songs garnered nominations without managing to win, including her breakout hit “Family Affair” (per Discover Music)
Her most recent win was for the album “Growing Pains,” which netted her Best Contemporary Rhythm And Blues Album in 2009 (via Britannica). According to the Grammys’ website, Blige has performed at the awards ceremony as part of a medley with Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and other noteworthy female performers.
