In my house - Mary Jane Girls

After seeing Prince become successful with proteges like Vanity 6, Rick James decided to start a similar project. He brought together Joanne McDuffie, Kimberly Wuletich, Ann Bailey and Candice Ghant and named them Mary Jane Girls, commonly believed to be named after the drug Marijuana. Soon after the release of their debut album Bailey left the group, to be replaced by Yvette Marine.

When the first single from their second album 'Only four you' (1985), 'Break it up' was not a big success, 'In my house' was chosen as the second single. It gave them their only hit in the Netherlands, peaking at number 6 in the Dutch Top 40.
