    Smokey Robinson and Rick James are two of the baddest soul balladeers/slow jam kings of all time!, I may be in my early 30's, but I was listening to this song and songs like this late night wit my headphones on, and singin' the song in her ear on the phone while it's playin' lololol...

    When I first heard Rick James sing "Mary Jane" back in '78 I thought "This guy is a one hit wonder". Then one dayI took a long drive to Santa Maria and listened to the entire cassette "Come Get It". After that, I got it.

    Anyone in or around the Buffalo area the Stone City Band will be at Buffalo's Funkfest Aug 23, 2008 along with Slave at the LaSalle Park in Buffalo NY. It's been years since you guys have seen Rick's Stone City Band. Let me tell you I have heard these guys play not long ago and you won't be dissapointed The Stone City Band can still bring the funk just as hard today as they did back in the day...
