C.J. & Co. - Topic

C.J. & Company was a disco group from Detroit, Michigan. They were the partnership of producers Dennis Coffey and Mike Theodore. Their highest charting single in the US was "Devil's Gun", which reached #36 on the Billboard pop chart, spending 29 weeks on the HOT 100. It wound up being the #100 song of the year on the Billboard's year end charts, and #2 on the R&B chart in 1977. It also peaked at #43 in the UK Singles Chart. That song, along with "We Got Our Own Thing" and "Sure Can't Go to the Moon," hit #1 for five weeks on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
They released two full-length LPs, Devil's Gun and Deadeye Dick both for Westbound Records.
In 1998 a compilation CD was released with full length selected tracks from both LPs.
"Devil's Gun" was the first record played at the opening of Studio 54 by DJ Richie Kaczor.
