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.

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.

Years later, he was knocked off. So that goes to what you said, I think it was, "These" children "don't know how easy they have it" Dig :-)

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

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 ? : )

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.

Our Church pastor put this on the list of banned videos and songs.

@dancingnature

Why?!?!

@phoney4387

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 @Jack Jules 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.

2:14 & 3:35 As great as this song is, this woman always floors me! Filmed in cold drizzling rain, looking like she'd rather be anywhere else, got stood up and drinking alone next to a gutted candle.

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?
