Sunday Soundtrack: Mary Jane Girls – All Night Long

Tahirah Edwards Byfield June 13, 2010 Music Comments

At 2:45am this Sunday morning I was stood in London’s Bungalow 8 with some good people, the DJ was winding up the set and he put on one of my favourite tunes ever – Mary Jane Girls’ “All Night Long”.

The sassy R&B/funk girl group Mary Jane Girls were proteges of Rick James and found relative success in the 80s before disbanding in 1987. They released “All Night Long” from their self-titled debut LP in 1983. Mary J Blige delivered a dope rendition, “Mary Jane (All Night Long)” on her 1995 album My Life, but in my opinion the original still obliterates it. From the instrumentation to the sultry tones, brazen lyrics and harmonies, “All Night Long” is what lazy Sundays (or Sunday morning club wind-down sets) should be made of!

Disclaimer added: I, Tahirah fully jacked this week’s Sunday Soundtrack from Versetti. Pow!

About The Author

Being born to a father who used to own an independent reggae label and a mother who sang meant a love for melodies, chords, vocals and beats was naturally infused in Tahirah Edwards Byfield. Unfortunately that love for music wasn’t accompanied by any type of musical ability! So the young creative married her love of tuneage with her other favourite form of expression, literature. Combined with the other thing she’s pretty good at – talking too much – Tahirah enjoys waxing lyrical about music and street culture on paper and on radio.
