Greg Nice - Mary's debut single, "You Remind Me," which featured her soaring, raspy vocal runs set to a hip hop beat, immediately established both her trademark sound and her powerful instrument, leading many to compare her to Chaka Khan straight off the bat. And don't forget the hard-hitting remix, which introduced MJB to rap fans via a well-placed Greg Nice cameo. (Photo: Courtesy Geffen Records)
