Four minutes and ten seconds: “Soldiers dance for me” - this is Mary J Blige’s martial “Family Affair” - one of the great singles of one of pop’s great moments, the early-00s platinum age of R&B. Self-reliance was one of this music’s dominant themes - but the level of self-confidence and command of the material here is just fantastic.

What would your 4’10” track be?
