This was the second hit single of Rick James' career, back in 1978 and I think it's one of his best-remembered songs -- a mid-tempo tune that was completely different than the uptempo funk that made him famous. Most people say that it's a song about marijuana. This song has been sampled numerous times ("I'm Real (remix)" by J.Lo and "Mary Jane (All Night Long)" by Mary J., just to name a couple). I definitely think it's a classic. If you ask me, Rick's downtempo songs are among his best. US Hot 100: #41 US R&B: #3  |

Like others have said, a classic all around. The repeated samplings have also kept this fresh for different generations.

Ahhh. The precious memories of this song. How I remember my dad incorporated his name into this song & made it about him. Lol. Now that's classic.
