Yes, “Tell Me” by Groove Theory interpolates “All Night Long” by the Mary Jane Girls… which, itself, is a nod to Keni Burke’s “Risin’ to the Top” (interpolating the iconic R&B/funk baseline and groove melody). #KeniBurke #MaryJaneGirls #GrooveTheory #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

“Tell Me” was released on June 23, 1995 and became a slow-building crossover smash... The single peaked at #3 on Billboard’s R&B chart & reached at #5 on the #Top40, spending 25 weeks on the chart and certified gold in the US. #GrooveTheory #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
