Company B.

Who could forget the 3 girls from Miami who wore those funky white "punk" wigs and blue-leather outfits?? COMPANY B was put together by Cuban-born Miami DJ/producer, ISH LEDESMA. (Of 70's & 80's bands; FOXY & OXO). In 1986 Ish and the girls released their massive international club hit "Fascinated" which reached number 1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play Chart. The original line up was: Lori L., Charlotte McKinnon, & Susan Gonzalez. The following year Charlotte was replaced by Lezlee Livrano, and their self-titled album was released on Atlantic Records, which included the hits "Full Circle" (Number 5), "Perfect Lover"(Number 12), & "Jam On Me". New member Sheena then stepped in Susan's place. While making a path for the "Miami Freestyle" sound, Company B was also a great example of the early House sound that was getting a lot of attention in clubs at the time. Thus, getting them guest performances on Club MTV, Dance Party USA, The Apollo Theater, & others. Soon after, Lezlee & Sheena were replaced by Donna Huntley, and Expose' stand-in Julie Marie, and their sophomore album "Gotta Dance" was released in 1989 (also on Atlantic). This time losing the wigs, and living up to the early-House buzz, their first single off the album was "You Stole My Heart", and later a cover of The Andrews Sisters' 1941 hit, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy". Over the years they have released various albums containing their hits, and in 2000, with an all-new look, released a maxi-single with new remixes of "Fascinated" and new track "He's All I Want" under the name Company B2000. In 2005, Dance/House music diva SUZANNE PALMER covered "Fascinated", it quickly burned the dancefloors across the world, becoming one of her most successful singles! In 2006, Company B started performing again, with new member Rachel, kicking off at the 'Freestyle Explosion' concert in Miami, along with Lisa Lisa, Information Society, Debbie Deb, Afrika Bambaataa, Newcleus, Nocera, Connie, & the reunion of fellow girl-group Expose'.
