While we're in this genre (sort of; I guess the 80s derivation of 70s soul/R&B), here's a song that got a large amount of airplay on Top-40 stations but because of this I thought never really got taken seriously. The Mary Jane Girls were a Rick James joint through and through (right down to their name, apparently). In My House (1983) is just a really well-crafted pop song, from its strong synth-breaks to the tight vocal harmonies, demonstrating that at the time, the Rick James orbit was a pretty good place to be.
