Yes! There were two black girls, one hispanic/latina, and one white girl.

Their biggest it was "In My House", which isn't about an actual residence, rather a body part. But, I like the song nonetheless.

The Mary Jane Girls were created by Rick James.  He named them after his 1978 hit "Mary Jane". 

In 1983, they had a UK top 20 hit with "All Night Long" from their self-titled debut album

Apart from "In My House" which in 1985 became their only top 40 hit, they also had another hit that year with "Wild and Crazy Love" from their se cond album "In My House".

In 1986, they had a near-top 40 hit (peaked at #41) with a cover of the Frankie Valli song "Walk Like A Man", which appeared in the film "A Fine Mess".  The song was also the only Mary Jane Girls song not to be written by Rick James.  The track was also set to appear on their third album, but because of James' troubles with drugs and Motown Records, the album was shelved, and the girls called it quits

"Walk Like A Man" was the only one of theirs I ever heard, not a bad little cover.
