Mary Jane Girls Remember back in the 80s Rick James pulled a Prince and created a lingerie clad girl group (a la Vanity 6) called the Mary Jane Girls?
They had a bit of a hit, can't remember exactly what it was called "my house" or something? I've been trying to remember how it goes - could someone hum it to me? Please? | |

The Mary Jane Girls were great.They released two albums,both of which went gold,and they had a handful of hit singles...
"Candy Man" (1983) "All Night Long" (1983) "Jealousy" (1983) "Boys"(1983) "In My House" (1985) "Wild And Crazy Love" (1985) "Girlfriend" (1985) "Walk Like A Man" (1986) Rick James has said that it was Prince who stole HIS idea for a sexy girl group.According to Rick,he came up with the idea back in 1979,mentioned it in a few interviews and then saw Prince create Vanity 6 in 1982.In 1986,at the height of their popularity,The Mary Jane Girls were involved in a tug-of-war situation with Motown and Rick.He was planning to leave the label and wanted to take the girls with him to a new label.Motown objected.Meanwhile,a third Mary Jane Girls album was recorded during this time---produced by James,it was tentatively titled 'Conversation'---but it remains in the Motown vaults.Motown really wanted the girls to stay with the label,promising to get Jam and Lewis (who were red-hot at the time) to produce their next album. These days,The Mary Jane Girls still tour.In fact,I'll be seeing them on February 6.But the last time I saw them live (in 2002),only one original member,lead singer JoJo,was in the group. | |

How cool! In My House must have been a hit in Australia, they played on our local AM radio station, in rural Victoria!!! | |

I just saw a bit of that "Candy Man" video yesterday, with one of the singers I think, running a red licorice rope over her lips.
Repulsive! | |

"In My House" is a classic,one of Rick Jame's best productions.It boasts a ferocious groove,sexy lyrics and a great chorus.The video was also fantastic.
