I can remember the very first time I heard Company B on the radio. It was the late 80’s and I was still in school. I would pull out my boombox on the weekends and listen to the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40, as well as the Saturday night Open House Party with John Garabedian. The song “Fascinated” came on and I remember thinking “Wow. Now this is some serious dance music ahead of it’s time.” Needless to say, I bought the single, the full-length album, and was instantly a Company B fan.
Company B originated with three ladies that included Lori Ledesma, Charlotte McKinnon and Susan Johnson. Charlotte was the lead vocals on their debut hit “Fascinated,” but before the group’s self-titled album was even released, she left the group and was replaced by Lezlee Livrano. Over the years, the group eventually went through three more lineup changes, but at least one original member has always remained in the lineup. From each member, I was only able to find solo projects from three of them. Charlotte has the largest contribution of solo projects among all of the ladies, but I was also able to locate one project with Sheena B, and two from Donna Huntley.
The group’s greatest success came with their self-titled debut album. It generated four hit singles on the US Billboard Dance Club Play songs chart. Their biggest being the #1 hit, “Fascinated.” The other three included “Full Circle,” “Signed In Your Book Of Love,” and “Perfect Lover.” “Fascinated” also reached #21 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
