Achieved No.12 on the Billboard Black Albums chart and No.60 on the Pop Album chart.
"Devil's Gun" the single reached No.1 on the Club Play Singles chart,No.2 on the Black Singles chart and No.36 on the Pop Singles chart.
CJ and Company was a neighborhood success story in my town of Detroit, Michigan. When I was sixteen, Charles Clark gave me my first proffessional gig as a Conga Player for CJ and Company; we did 1 gig at a VFW Hall then we were slated to open for the P-Funk and I didn't get a call for that gig, but I DID get the gig with P-Funk directly after. THANK YOU CHARLES CLARK!!! Thank You WESTBOUND!!!
"Devil's Gun" and "We Got Our Own Thing" were Classics in the Disco mode!
Mike Theodore was a great producer!
Dennis Coffey get props too!
Devils Gun intro is hot! Lyrics hotter :()
Both of these songs were the absolute bomb baby.. I was about 13 yrs old and "clubbing" for me at that age was the jam in the park, these 2 songs were definitely featured tunes.
Sure miss That Tune...i have the Vinyl..copy!...one of the Best!....
