Dennis,

Looking at the credits, I assume the album was produced and then a group called C.J. & Co was put together to promote it? Regards Mike

C.J. and Co. was originally a group called The Strides recorded by me and Mike Theodore. Later they added two girls to the group when one of the guys left and changed their name to C.J. and Co. They were a vocal group but probably put together a road band for touring when the record became a hit.

We were having a discussion similar to this in the Motown Forum. That it was a pretty common practice during that era to put together a touring/performance group once a record became very popular.

Dennis did you get to catch the tribute radio station CKWW Windsor 580AM did to you on your last birthday?

Mike, this clip is from local Detroit show called "The Scene" that aired every afternoon from 5pm -6pm on WGPR Channel 62. I watched it just about everyday when I was in high school. The producer, Nat Morris is a friend of my brother. Love this. Thank you.
