C.J. & Company (also C.J. & Co. or C.C. & Co.) was a disco group from Detroit, Michigan. They were the partnership of producers, funk-brother, Dennis Coffey & Mike Theodore. Their highest charting single in the US was "Devil's Gun", which reached #36 on the Billboard pop chart and #2 on the R&B chart in 1977.[2] It also peaked at #43 in the UK Singles Chart.[3] 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.[4]

They released two full length LPs, 'Devil's Gun' (1977) and 'Deadeye Dick' (1978) 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.[5]
