Actually, I think Klymaxx vs The Time would make a great Celebrity Death Match.

This is a tough one because I really love both groups.I'll have to think about it and give you my answer another time.But,here are my favorite songs by both groups...


Mary Jane Girls---
***"Candy Man"(1983)---this signaled a new sound from Rick James.His earlier productions relied heavily on horns but for this song,he used more synths than ever before (similiar to his own album that year 'Cold Blooded').

***"Boys"(1983)---You gotta love that little spoken interlude near the end,where the girls apparently walk into a club to check out all the guys..."Check out the one with the jeri curl...Uh uh,now wait a minute,you mean the "scary curl",look at that stuff drippin' all over his shirt!" smile

***"Jealousy"(1983)---Man,I LOVE this song!! This is almost total New Wave,and it should have been a huge pop hit.

***"All Night Long"(1983)---Although they play it a little too much on Old School R&B stations,it's still a kickass song.The bassline has been sampled on numerous rap hits.

***"Shadow Lover"(1985)---Why wasn't this gorgeous ballad released as a single?

***"In My House"(1985)---This is STILL da jam!!! Very sexy video too.

***"Girlfriend"(1985)---Another underrated single.




Klymaxx---
***"The Men All Pause"(1984)---A Jam and Lewis production that kicks ass!! This groove is fierce and the lyrics would make Morris Day proud...lol...

***"Meeting In The Lady's Room"(1984)---This is their finest moment!!! A classic Old School jam from the mid-80s,this song would STILL get everybody on the floor.

***"Lock And Key"(1984)---another funky jam

***"I Miss You"(1984)---This song proved that they could do ballads too.

***"Sexy"(1986)---Another song that would make Morris Day proud (it's obvious that drummer Bernadette Cooper was trying to be "the female Morris Day").

***"I'd Still Say Yes"(1986)---Along with "Meeting In The Ladies Room",this is my second favorite Klymaxx song.It's a great ballad with additional vocals by Howard Hewitt.

***"Man-Size Love"(1986)---Another winning Klymaxx song.

oOOH, I was wondering who sang that song. I remember "Just That Tye of Girl" just didn't know who sang it. It was funky. I was like 8 or 9. I love Klymaxx.

I have the Madame X album (1987) on vinyl.It's a great album with cool production by Bernadette Cooper (of Klymaxx).In addition to the hit "Just That Type Of Girl",the album also featured the follow-up single "I Want Your Body",which sounds just like a Prince production.There were plans for a second Madame X album with Teena Marie contributing some tracks,but it never materialized and the group broke up.

Well,I thought about it and I guess I would have to say The Mary Jane Girls win this prize!! They got some killer jams on both of their albums,as I listed above.Lead singer JoJo is a powerful vocalist too.

Btw,there is a third,unreleased Mary Jane Girls album that is sitting in the Motown vaults,collecting dust.Rick James was fighting with Motown for control of the group,and as a result,their third album never came out.It was produced by James in 1986 and was titled 'Conversation'.

Jam and Lewis produced "Lock and Key".



Yep.Jam and Lewis also produced a track for their 1982 debut album.The song is called "Wild Girls" I believe,but it didn't do so well on the charts.
