Mary J. Blige joined Sam Smith on stage at The Apollo Theater the other night for a powerful rendition of his choir-driven ballad "Stay With Me." As Smith & Co warmed up the stage with the opening verse to the track, the crowd simply lost their heads when Blige hit the hardwood to belt out her own verse from the unexpected rework. It was as moving as you'd imagine, giving the soft spoken British balladeer a fitting counterweight in the queen of contemporary r&b's brawny vox. The song stems from Smith's top-spot contending full-length debut In The Lonely Hour and can be purchased via iTunes today. Watch Mary J. Blige and Sam Smith tear through "Stay With Me" at The Apollo below.
