The group's primary lineup consisted of Joanne 'JoJo' McDuffy, Kimberly 'Maxi' Wuletich, Candice 'Candi' Ghant, and Cheryl 'Cheri Wells' Bailey. Bailey eventually left the group and was replaced by Yvette 'Corvette' Marine, who stayed on until the group's dissolution in 1987. They are known for their 1980s hits "All Night Long", "Candy Man", and "In My House".
The project first began in 1979 as a solo project for Joanne McDuffy, backup vocalist for singer and producer Rick James, whom she had supported on several tours. James developed tracks with McDuffy and session vocalists the Water Sisters, creating the "Mary Jane Girls" sound. Motown offered James a contract for what it believed was the girl group he wanted to produce; not wanting to lose the deal, James lied and told Motown that the Mary Jane Girls were a group and not McDuffy's solo project. Rick got whoever he could to provide photographs to Motown. McDuffy continued to sing lead and background with the Water Sisters for all Mary Jane Girl recordings and the band sang for the group with McDuffy on tour. It is commonly believed, though not confirmed, that the group was so named due to Rick James' affinity for marijuana; a common alternate term for the substance is "Mary Jane."
Their self-titled debut album, Mary Jane Girls was released in 1983, reaching #56 on the Billboard 200, and #6 in the Top Hip-Hop/R&B charts. The album's four singles, "Candy Man", "All Night Long", "Boys" and "Jealousy" all charted. In 1985, their sophomore effort, Only Four You, was released; the single "In My House" became the group's biggest single, reaching #7 on the Billboard 200. Shortly before the release of the album, Bailey left the group and was replaced by Marine.
The only song recorded by the Mary Jane Girls not composed by Rick James was "Walk Like a Man". A cover version of the famous song by The Four Seasons featured on the soundtrack for the film A Fine Mess, this turned out to be the Mary Jane Girls' last single, reaching #41 on the Billboard 2000. In the meantime, Rick James had a falling out with Motown, eventually resulting in the dissolution of the Mary Jane Girls in 1987.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Hey boy,
Would you meet me on the roof tonight
I got a surprise for you
[Chorus]
All night long
All night long
[Verse 1]
Oh something's got me so excited, baby
A feeling I've been holding back so long
You got me shook up shook down shook out
On your loving and boy
I can't wait to get started loving you
And now that I can feel you
Coming closer to me
I'm not running
Oh, may I say
I can't wait to get it on
I'm gonna give it to ya
[Chorus]
All night long
All night long
Ooh
I'm gonna give it to you
(I've been waiting for you so long)
(Come to me)
I'm gonna give it to you
(Meet me on the rooftop in the knife)
I'm gonna give it to you
(Come and get my love device)
[Verse 2]
Oh, something's got me so delighted, baby
I see your face in everything I do
You got me shook up shook down shook up
On your loving and boy,
There is just no way I'll ever get over you
[Chorus]
All night long
All night long
I've waited for your love to come
Up to the roof to show you the proof
It's you that I love, I love
Up on this rooftop I'll be waiting
For your love, anticipating
Hurry up and come
Cause I can't wait to get it on
I'm gonna give it to you
All night long
(I'm gonna give it to you, give it to you,
Give it to you, give it to you, give it to you)
I'm gonna give it to you
All night long
(I can't wait to love you, baby)
I'm gonna give it to you
All night long
(I'm gonna give it to you, give it to you,
Give it to you, give it to you, give it to you)
I'm gonna give it to you
All night long
(I can't wait to love you, boy)
Ooh-ooh
I'm gonna give it to you
I'm gonna give it to you
[Bridge]
Climb up on the ladder, don't stop
My love's waiting when you reach the top
All night long
Climb up on the ladder, honey
What I got is better than money
All night long
Come on up, boy, don't be late
What I got for you won't wait
All night long
Ooh-ooh
I'm gonna give it to you
Swee dee dee doo doo ya
Twee dee dee doo doo ya
(Saxophone Solo)
@Kingcarbone
Vice City brought the younger crowd to appreciate the 80s hits. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m very appreciative of it.
@noahnorman6877
I agree, this also makes it a great song to listen to when your driving from Atlantic City to New York at night.
@Kingcarbone
Ooh that sounds awesome. I’ve made that drive 🙂
@Kingcarbone
@Noah Norman i get the feeling that’s what you’re doing now lol
@noahnorman6877
Here’s a list of sons you should listen to if you make that drive again:
Kenny G - Songbird
Man in The Mirror
Human Nature - both by Michael Jackson.
Send in the Clowns - The Frank Sinatra cover. Just to remind you that there are many people in the casinos that gamble all their money away, and that your (hopefully) not one of them.
@oppkash1
can someone tell me what genre music this is? man bruh driving in vice city with the Miami sunset was such a vibe
@Papi.Pharaoh
Rick James was a musical genius for the way he assembled these girls. His songwriting and production was flawless. No one can deny how much of a legend he is. This song was beautifully written and composed by him.
@gustarddonut1452
Im Rick James, bitch!
@RogerSartet007
I agree...for the most part. Yet in this particular case, not so much. Ever heard of Kenny Burke's 'Risin to the top'? which came out a year earlier (I remember, because I entered high school that same year)?
Check that song out!
@veronicanicholas2434
Slick Rick..wow
