Rick James was one of the greatest songwriters, musicians and producers to ever come out of the music industry. He was a genius. I'm separating the artist from the persona here.
Maybe I can remember this. Then I was drafted in the Hungarian Frontier Guards in the end of August 1985. Not “cool”. I’m typing this on 6/11/2023. I am in my 58th year…
Saw Rick James and Mary Jane girls in concert!!--NOBODY is a bigger fan than me!😂--He called it punk funk.His sound was so funk with r&b under tones with a touch of rock--there will NEVER be another !--everything he touched had his unique sound
Rick James doesn’t get enough recognition for the way he assembled these girls and for writing these songs like he did. He was one of the best songwriters ever step into the industry.
@@deejay5102 Think of the "Bank" he made when MC Hammer sampled Superfreak for You Can't Touch This. Also it was featured in a UK Music Special featuring The Girlgroup Girls Aloud.
Right with you at 51. I was 14 yo in 8th grade when this hit. Would sing it on the way to school. Couldn't get the groove out of my head! I was in love with Corvette too!
Well Rick's style as he notes it was punk funk. His drum rhythms and singing patterns is definitely punk influenced on street songs album especially. Super freak definitely a punk song with a slower tempo
I was OBSESSED with this song as a kid. Always waiting with a blank tape…. but catching it in the middle, ending, dj said coming up so I recorded beginning of 8 other songs before it & giving up 🤬🤯 Young people have no idea the struggle 🤦🏼♀️
You took me back with taping songs from the radio. Even though we had it harder than kids of today, our music was better and we knew how to have fun. 🤛🏾👍🏾😎
This comment isn't pertaining this song - (BiG ups to it though; you see I'm here) - but, I it relates to your comment. I had a pot'na - (RIP) NardSurpreme/MC Freeze - whom use to rap in the UnderGround (FM 98, New Orleans). 1ne night, he was rapping on the radio (FM98) he said, w a studdering voice, "Y'all better brake out y'all cassette tape, because I'm going to say this 1ne time and 1ne time only. I got an I got edge on'em, that's my man I know he can't talk w out fumbling his words. I set the tape up. He began running it, "In New Orleans we only have 2wo gangs. 1ne's the young black teen, the other's the crooked cops. The cops got ..." Yeeeeeah, I got'em!

I worked with candy of the Mary Jane Girls in an insurance office in the 90s. She was the sweetest person you never want to meet and she had some really wild Rick James stories and she said that she was really sad when how he ended up. I guess this was a period when he was out of jail because she talked about how he wanted to get together with him once again before he went back to jail. But she was a really sweet person and she treasured the rest of the Mary Jane Girls and Rick James very much
March, 2023, The Santa Monica Pier. I'm visiting from Florida with my wife and two young kids. A man about my age (59) is break dancing to this song. (Mostly pop and lock with some whole body spins around his right fist planted on the wooden platform on which he performed) I drop a $20 in his tip jar and tell him how much I love this music and his art form. Bless Rick James. 80s forever!
Everything about that synth heavy, electronic early-to-mid 80s groove (but you can still hear the real instruments) is hypnotic. Give me Mary Jane Girls, Klymaxx, Cherrelle, Angela Bofill any day of the week! Thank you Rick James, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, & so many others for that sound/that era!
I remember getting my first VCR in the mid 80’s and once I got it up snd running, this was the first video that recorded from Friday Night Videos. Love it madly ❤❤❤
I love this song and music video! If anyone needs an example of the most perfect 80s synth and imagery, I would suggest they watch this video. The girls are beautiful. I love their hair, makeup and outfits. Those satin sheets, the neon, awesome looking house, everything about this is so great. I was born is the early 70s, so had the great fortune of living through every year of the 80s. I miss that time, and feel like I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have at the time.
We had Michael Jackson prince bobby brown Anita Baker Sade Patti LaBelle chaka Khan Mary Jane girls vanity Whitney Houston Janet Jackson Stephanie Mills Vanessa Williams Paula Abdul Teena Marie LL cool j NWA run DMC too short for the incredible music of the best decade of all time these amazing artists and the music today is not working for me
Absolutely, no yoga pants and Jordans and each woman had their own style and sex appeal, # bring back pantyhose and high heels and normal colored hair also NO BUSH! 90's kid😅
Girlfriend saw this on MTV in '85..was totally inspired by Maxi! Became a dead ringer of her! We danced in Annapolis MD and she brought the house down! Thanks Maxi!
There was a lady in my town who looked just like her including the hair/clothes but she looked like that before MJG came out.The first time we saw a video everybody was asking her about it.She thought it was funny but I've seen MJG & I have never seen my neighbor in the same room with Maxxxi 🤔🤭
Still give me goosebumps and makes my hair rise on my head even after all these years. I remember being 6 years old seeing this on TV. boy if Rick James would have stayed off them drugs. them girls would have hit big time.
Just because non blacks don't embrace our artists does not mean they didn't "hit big".MJG & Rick James are Black legends to this day.And let's not act like Maxxxi wasn't making the brothers fantasize about blonde white girls.Yall need to stop it.js
You can always tell who's a real 80s baby by that @@jackjules7552 These people were being born while we were being forced to burn everything from clothes to each other😂😂 God forbid you actually lived in the Bible Belt.... Footloose was a documentary to us & we real life thought the whole country was banned from dancing/singing 😩 I'm so glad it was over by the time I was 13.
I watched on mtv in 85! The riffs of Rick James is undeniable: ) RIP ! Back in the day, the clubs would fill up when the DJ played this song! Simple times. :
How refreshing, back in the day, when the dance floors were vibrating, who could not love the Mary Jane/Rick James combination ?? Simple times, can we go back for a short time ? : )
how have I gone so long without knowing this amazing song existed??? this is incredible, I love the Mary Jane Girls. though I wasnt alive during the 80's this sure makes me nostalgic, lol.
Those hauntingly beautiful backing vocals is the The Waters family brother and sisters backup singers. Such legends! And they'll still working in the studio on albums today.
I remember where I was when I heard this song for the first time..I was 6 years old shopping w my mom at a store in Manhattan..as soon as I heard it I loved it..❤️💃🏻 41 now and still one of my fave songs
You’re right. She looks stunning with that hair-do....So did Patrice Rushen when she wore it. But if you have long hair, do tree braid/extensions because those beads could split your hair?
In 1985, being a newly arrived immigrant who did not understand a word in english, this song became my gateway into R&B. In Jefferson Park, in Elizabeth, NJ, I still reminisced about those African-American men with those boomboxes that weighed heavily on one side as they walked through the park.
Its a privilege to have the female species on this planet.... just listen at this song and how the ladies sing the lyrics.. its like they're saying there is no greater place you'd rather be then "In My House". The double talk in the chorus is so brilliant ... just listen to the chorus. The lyrics and what they're implying could be meant in two different ways, it all depends on what perspective you view it from. It's a seductive, sultry, sensual record. Such a classic. Mary Jane Girls
Yes indeed Mary Jane Girls In My House who don't remember this song and Mary Jane Girls video? The airwaves played this song so much and the television also showed their video as well. Nobody can't forget this song and the video. In My House
Back in the day these ladies were alot of us young men's fantasy. Especially with the suggestive lyrics. Hell I saw the lead singer a while back I'd still come unlock that door baby.
LETS TURN THIS SONG UP OH YEAH! LETS BE PLAYING THIS SONG LETS KEEP ON PARTYIN' DANCIN' AND MOVING AT THE HOUSE ANYWHERE AS WE GET INTO THIS SONG LIKING THIS WHOLE ENTIRE GOOD SONG ALWAYS! THEY SANG IT GREAT AND WELL! GREAT SONG! 👍 🙂
I was 6 years old when this song came out. After I saw it and heard those voices I was like who are these beautiful Ladies!!! They absolutely changed my young eyes to the way I looked at women!!!😍 Thanks Rick!!!
Oh for the days when I was 8 years old and didn't understand what was meant by the "Mary Jane" Girls. Their greatest hits album is amazing. it's 12 remixes of this song. I found it a bargain bin ages ago.
I LOVE MOTOWN MUSIC SINCE I WAS YOUNG AND TO THIS DAY IM STILL JAMMIN CAUSE MY FRIENDS AND ALL MOTOWN ARTISTS ROCK BRINGS BACK LOT OF MEMORIES OF MY ERA MOTOWN MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE BUT MULTIPLE LETS GO AND JAMM ❤

Me too my man!!
Right with you at 51. I was 14 yo in 8th grade when this hit. Would sing it on the way to school. Couldn't get the groove out of my head! I was in love with Corvette too!
We all want to go back- right now everything sucks!!
I'm 50, and I hear you. Nothing comes close to these tunes from that time
Same here!❤
I'm a punk rocker and I still like this song!😊
Mee too!
Me 3 ha!

Well Rick's style as he notes it was punk funk. His drum rhythms and singing patterns is definitely punk influenced on street songs album especially. Super freak definitely a punk song with a slower tempo
this was put on the filthy 15 list !! lol

Yeah best ever with one hit
There's no Beyonce without Destiny's Child

Pointer sisters, Emotions, many of that era ...all ripped off a decade later . This is one great jam.

Yes girl you did.
What's not to like about this song?
Even the riff is amazing
Especially the riff!
My favorite song of the 80s
But it's djust dowright nasty. Song's about a female sexual organ.
They can't write them like today....phoneys. no talents .
Before the Pussy Cat Dolls there was "The Mary Jane Girls" . Rick James pure genius.
That's what I was thinking, and there is only one lady singing the entire song if you notice. Same as PSSY CAT DOLLS
So Rick James created The Mary Jane Girls
Prince created Vanity 6
Who created the Pussycat Dolls

Rick James does not get enough credit for writing these songs
Ong he don’t
Or producing and playing on them too. MTV chose Prince and blanked RJ. Shame on them.
He made sure his hairstyle was in there though hahahahha
The bio pic documentary was cool but I would love to see a Rick James movie w/some serious actors to highlight his genius! RIP Rick James!
He wrote a banger with this one. Dude was a genius

Yes indeed Mary Jane Girls In My House who don't remember this song and Mary Jane Girls video? The airwaves played this song so much and the television also showed their video as well. Nobody can't forget this song and the video. In My House

This was my getting ready song for years!
I had so much fun in the eighties! What a great song!
Back in the day these ladies were alot of us young men's fantasy. Especially with the suggestive lyrics. Hell I saw the lead singer a while back I'd still come unlock that door baby.
Great song! Beautiful girls, the magic 80's! Rick James n his legacy!
Just that break down alone is classic. Modern pop music really misses musicianship...the guitars, the bass, the keyboards, and the drums.
