Blige's classic sophomore album, My Life, hit shelves 18 years ago today, Nov. 29. The days, weeks, months and years may have been all too fleeting, but the album—Mary's best—certainly wasn't. Though Mary's unforgettable voice and gut-wrenching songwriting carried the music, she was helped by a top-notch team of songwriters, producers and other collaborators. And like Mary, they've come a long way too—whether up or down. Here, we catch up with the creators of My Life 18 years later. —Alex Gale   (Photo: MCA Records)
