Keni Burke's bassline from "Risin' to the Top" inspired the bassline in "All Night Long" ( Keni Burke was part of the family groups Invisible Man Band "All Night Thing" & The Five Stair steps "Ooh Child" )
In My House is my favorite song from the Mary Jane Girls and they're my favorite group outta the three you mentioned. I wish there were a new,modern R& B girl group of black women. That would be nice.I still listen to the MJG music. Good video of a once GOOD female singing group.
❤❤❤❤ i grew up on both Rick James and The Mary Jane Girls .My father bought me the Rick James album STREET SONGSit was the very 1st album he ever got me .up until now I never was able to retrieve it my dad died of cancer in 2012 .1 day I was at the library on the computer and I found the album it was very emotional listening to that. When I was 7 I remember receiving the Mary Girls 1st album up until now I was never able to retrieve it but now through the internet I have both. This started my music collection SIEHP DADDY I LOVE U
Wild and Crazy Love and Shadow Lover were such beautiful gems..... Vanity 6 were my favorites but the Mary Jane Girls were legends and trailblazers too
Shadow Lover is a classic. I loved them from the first time I heard Candy Man. Had a serious crush on Jojo (and Candi lol). I'd be really impressed if you profile the girl groups: Parlet and the Brides of Funkenstein
No they couldn't I was listening to a Podcast the lead singer JoJo did & she said the Waters Sisters actually sang background on the records & Rick James backup band The Stone City Band did the background vocals at their concerts....the rest of the girls were just eye candy hired by Rick James
I LOVE the MJGs!!! Favorite song: All Night Long, Candyman, In My House in that order. Those three songs are better than the entire catalog of all those other girl groups put together. The only song that goes hard is "Nasty Girl" by V6. Thanks for this brother!
Rick James really had that touch, when it came to the Mary Jane Girls. My favorite songs by MJG are "Candy Man", "Boys", "All Night Long", and "In My House". I would say that Rick's Mary Jane Girls group were a more successful recording group than Prince's Vanity and Appolonia groups. However, in terms of overall popularity, on the strength of Prince's movie "Purple Rain", Prince's girl groups enjoyed more popularity in the mainstream. But I prefer listening to MJG!
The Lead Singer Jojo said the same thing ..she said she was tone deaf...the other girls couldn't sing either...the Waters Sisters actually sang background on the records...Jojo was the only one who actually sang on the records & live in concert
Mary jane girls were clearly the winners out of the girl bands! I was in elementary when "my house" dropped,I was HOOKED on maxi in her leather...MMM MMM MMMMMM 👀👀lol
The Mary Jane Girls was the best of three followed by Vanity 6. Never cared for Apollonia 6! Speaking of Yvette Marine on Paula Abdul's 1st album. Yvette is listed as a background singer in the liner notes. Personally, I believe that's HER voice towards the last two minutes of "Knocked Out". Clearly that isn't Paula singing like that! Lol
Candyman, Boys, Shadow Lover, All Night Long are truly my favorites from the Beautiful girl group Mary Jane Girls!!! Love them so much i wish they could do a Reunion 😃❤️❤️
Well "Rick" said during many interviews that the "Mary Jane Girls" was basically women "Rick" always fantasized about. He always had a thing for a dominatrix lady cop, a valley cheerleader, a hip uptown girl with a strong personality & street whitty. Then last is the model girl thats all about her business...."Jo Jo".did most of the lead vocals....But these ladies are rock n roll funk Legends like "Rick"..... 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
In My House and All Night Long are my definitive Mary Jane Girls songs but I also dig Candyman, Wild and Crazy Love, Musical Love, Walk Like A Man and On The Inside. Love the footage from the '84 AMAS; Rick was poking fun at Michael Jackson in the audience and Irene Cara who had just performed and she did the Moonwalk in heels! Maxi stole that moment on stage from everybody if memory serves me😍✌🏿
Awesome sounding songs by MJG but my favorite,I’ll say ‘Shadow Lover’ . They performed (lip synced) it on American Bandstand. When music started and hearing Danny’s(Stone City Band member) sax over the smooth melody even before I heard Jo Jo’s vocals I knew I would like that song. Also, yes, I prefer MJG over Vanity 6/Appolona(?)6.
I love Rick/Stone City Band, JoJo /Water Sisters & Mary Jane Girls regardless of their specific roles they performed. I love the single PROVE IT & it is the most funkiest track I have ever heard from a female lead vocal JoJo. It is underrated
The Mary Jane Girls “smoked” vanity 6/appolonia 6 hands down!😹my favorite gems are All night Long, candyman, & In My House among many, many more!💐💐💐👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💖💖
In My House & All Night Long are my favorite... but to be honest... It's a Rick James group and I am here for anything Rick James... he's the MF MAN!!!!
😂😂😂Y'all, I got my butt whooped - me my sister and cousin, up on the roof (cause that's what the song said, duh) with our undershirts tied up on the side, body rolling to: ALLL NIGHT LONG ... I'm talking side ponys, lip stick, "ACTING GROWN" 😅 we found a case of beer and all 😂😂 (we was 4,8,10) Imagine walking in on this!? 😂😂😂 My grandma grabbed her cane on us😂😂😂😂
I loved all of their hits, the one that stands out for me is "All Night Long". It reminds me of being young and care free! I would say out of the girl groups you named I would have to go with the Mary Jane Girls, the reason is, at lease one of them could actually sing, lol, no shade but Vanity 6 and Appolonia 6 had zero talent, NONE!
Without even going through this video, basically, if Rick James didn’t give them the name he gave them, we would have otherwise known them as the casting couch cuties. There was nothing highly significant about these ladies. Teena Marie could sing circles around these four hacks. She also had more music knowledge in her tiny pinky than these chicks had in their entire bodies. Thumbs down all day.
In My House, Candyman, and All Night Long will always be jams 😊
They sure will they still bang up to this date
Yaaasssss!!!👌🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
👍
Still jamming to those songs in 2024. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 👩🏽 💫
JoJo was the only one who could sing. Thank you for letting the truth be told.
I love candy man I love how u can hear the girls vocals and how good JO JO ACTUALLY SOUNDS ❤
Keni Burke's bassline from "Risin' to the Top" inspired the bassline in "All Night Long" ( Keni Burke was part of the family groups Invisible Man Band "All Night Thing" & The Five Stair steps "Ooh Child" )
Keni Burke is a legend!!!
All Night Long, Boys, Candy Man, In My House, and many more are my favorites by The Mary Jane Girls, keep them coming man

@@kerry-j4m A girl group in the 21st century will not work for a myriad of reasons.
People act like they forgot about the MJG. Thank you for taking me back down memory lane.💛💛💛

@@ebonyadams7060 Street Songs was the first album I bought with my money and a book of stamps from Turtles records and tapes
That last album has a few bangers on it like Shake Me, Can You Make It Feel Good, Hollywood, and Night Lover. Great video once again!
Shake Me is definitely a 🔥 track
Wild and Crazy Love and Shadow Lover were such beautiful gems..... Vanity 6 were my favorites but the Mary Jane Girls were legends and trailblazers too

Love Mary Jane Girls.❤
Please do Klymaxx and Vanity 6
As a Gen-X. Hands down," In My House".
Rick James used to be in a group The Mynah Birds with rocker Neil Young on Motown in the mid sixties- true fact
The Mary Jane Girls are the better group because they can actually sing.
Not according to this video - only the lead vocalist was actually singing. But she could sing circles around Vanity and Apollonia.
No they couldn't
I was listening to a Podcast the lead singer JoJo did & she said the Waters Sisters actually sang background on the records & Rick James backup band The Stone City Band did the background vocals at their concerts....the rest of the girls were just eye candy hired by Rick James
@@MykeFord950 Yeah but the point is , Jojo sing better than the other girl bands regardless and they have BETTER hits .
I LOVE the MJGs!!!

He broke them women down dam shame
Big Daddy Kane used "All night long" for his song "Smooth operator"
Redman also used it on one of his tracks
I forgot where I read it but Rick admitted that the white girl Maxi couldn't sing so he would have her lipsync to the other girls 😅
The Lead Singer Jojo said the same thing ..she said she was tone deaf...the other girls couldn't sing either...the Waters Sisters actually sang background on the records...Jojo was the only one who actually sang on the records & live in concert
@@MykeFord950 I never knew that...there should be a biopic about them for sure.
Candy man and all night long, my jams from the 1980's. From england ❤
Mary jane girls were clearly the winners out of the girl bands! I was in elementary when "my house" dropped,I was HOOKED on maxi in her leather...MMM MMM MMMMMM 👀👀lol
I'll never forget when the PMRC had issues with In My House back in 1985
All night long with my favorite. And I had a mad crush on Cheryl "Cheri Wells"Bailey.
Vanity dated Rick before her “Prince Era.” The night Prince met her at an awards show, she was with Rick.
Favorite song was All Night Long, but Boys was a close second.
I remember meeting to the Mary Jane girls when I was little
Rick James won the protege war against Prince.
Loved Boyz!!!!
My favorite songs in my house & All night long❤
Mary Jane Girls had better vocals, but I'm a Vanity fan. So for me Vanity 6.
The Mary Jane Girls was the best of three followed by Vanity 6. Never cared for Apollonia 6!
Speaking of Yvette Marine on Paula Abdul's 1st album. Yvette is listed as a background singer in the liner notes. Personally, I believe that's HER voice towards the last two minutes of "Knocked Out". Clearly that isn't Paula singing like that! Lol
Vanity 6 was the best period they changed the game❤❤
Vanity 6 was the group I liked the best, but JoJo definitely could sing
Candyman, Boys, Shadow Lover, All Night Long are truly my favorites from the Beautiful girl group Mary Jane Girls!!! Love them so much i wish they could do a Reunion 😃❤️❤️
@3:26 that "unh hunh" sounds like he doesn't believe her resume at all. 🤣😂
All Night long and My House
I love Prince. But Mary Jane Girls Were the best Female Group of The 80'S
Mary Jane girls. Shadow lover❤
The MJGs had more hits that we can remember. I love them all though!
There isn't one bad song on their album 🤎🤎🤎🤎loved the Mary Jane Girls!

We made a little group when i was little and made a dance to mjg song Boys😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤😘😘😘💯
Mary Jand Girls were the best group
NO funk female group tops the MJG.... NONE! PERIOD! 💛💛💛💛
The Brides of Frankenstein! A spinoff group of Parliament Funkadelic! Them chicks were dope!

All Night Long And My House!!!!!!!!!
I was waiting for Rick to say, " I'M RICK JAMES B****!"😂😂😂
Shadow Lover
The Mary Jane girls for sure. They had better music, that you can still enjoy today 💃🏿🕺🏿💃🏿🕺🏿💃🏿🕺🏿💃🏿
Mary Jane Girls was the better group. Vanity 6 could not sing at all just looks.
I remember after that intro Tick said, "Ok girls, chill out.." which was some real hip talk back then. You wouldn't hear that on TV.😂
Mary Jane girls was the best lady group.
MJG was the better group to me & they had more hits than Vanity 6 or Apollonia 6 too.
Mary Jane Girls was the better girl group
Mary Jane was better times 100
the mary jane girls, was that shot..candy man, shadow love, in my house, all night long...
Thanks….
If it wasn't for the mary jane girls there Would not be No vanity 6 prince took Rick james Idea
In my house was a big favorite of mine
Didn't Mary Jane Girls do a song called 'Wild and Crazy Love'
now what about Rick James
All Night Long
Vanity 6 Nasty Girls 💜💜💜
Candy man, Hurting on the inside, All night long ❤❤❤
Good video, I like In My House 😀
Shadow Lover, Candyman
All night long was the cut. They were better singers then Apolonia and Vanity 6 plus they had more hits.
I always liked All Night Long. But I loved Vanity 6 better back then.
My favorite girl group both of the albums are no SKIPS!!
The Story of The Mary Jane Girls ,is Pretty similar to the End Of the Pussycat Dolls /PCD
Where's "Corvette"...???
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@Notorious_G.O.D_76 she’s not an original MJG
@trulyamazing3857 Ahhhh Gotcha !!!!!
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
All night long in my house
they was done so wrong!!
🙏🏿🎤🎷🎹🪗🪈🪇🥁🪘🎻🪕🎸🎺🎙️
Fun Fact; Vanity 6 Appolonia 6 only Brenda could actually sing
I loved all of their hits, the one that stands out for me is "All Night Long". It reminds me of being young and care free! I would say out of the girl groups you named I would have to go with the Mary Jane Girls, the reason is, at lease one of them could actually sing, lol, no shade but Vanity 6 and Appolonia 6 had zero talent, NONE!
Mary Jane Girls were definitely better then Vanity 6, as for Appolonia 6 LOL😂😂😂 NOT!!!!
Vanity 6 made the better singles. The Mary Jane Girls made the better albums.
Vanity 6 only is a one hit wonder with Nasty girl
@@kinglord7707 Drive Me Wild was a hit as well.
Without even going through this video, basically, if Rick James didn’t give them the name he gave them, we would have otherwise known them as the casting couch cuties. There was nothing highly significant about these ladies. Teena Marie could sing circles around these four hacks. She also had more music knowledge in her tiny pinky than these chicks had in their entire bodies. Thumbs down all day.
