    Good afternoon , and welcome to the Ferret. I’m Gail Nobles. Today, we're looking back at a fascinating, if perhaps unexpected, intersection of art and entertainment. You might not think of magic and funk and soul sharing the same stage, but back in the late 1970s, that's precisely what happened.

    We all know Earth, Wind & Fire. A pioneering band, blending genres, with dazzling musicianship and a profound sense of the spectacular. Their live shows were legendary, not just for the music, but for the sheer visual feast. They wanted to transport their audiences to another realm, a realm of "fantasy," as they so put it.

    And who better to help them do that than a master of illusion? Now, while Doug Henning, the then-reigning king of stage magic, wasn't exactly out there planting trees or solving world hunger for EWF, he did lend his considerable talents to making their concerts utterly unforgettable.

    Doug Henning collaborated with the band to design illusions that amplified their already larger-than-life stage presence.

    One of the most memorable illusions Henning designed for Earth, Wind & Fire was the levitation act. Imagine the sheer wonder of seeing members of this incredible band seemingly floating effortlessly in mid-air, defying gravity right before your eyes. It wasn't just a trick; it was an extension of their music. It was a picture that showed the freedom, feeling, and higher meaning they wanted to create.

    So, did Doug Henning directly solve any earthly problems for Earth, Wind & Fire in 1978? No. But he did contribute to their unique brand of entertainment, adding another layer of magic and spectacle to their performances. It was a collaboration that enriched the concert experience for countless fans and solidified Earth, Wind & Fire's reputation as one of the most visually stunning and brilliant bands of all time. And sometimes, a little magic is exactly what the world needs.

Today, we're diving into the electrifying world of C.J. & Co. and their sensational track "We Got Our Own Thang."

You may know them for their breakout hit "Devil's Gun," which stormed its way onto the Billboard charts, hitting that sweet #36 spot on the HOT 100 and keeping the vibe alive for p29 weeks! Not to mention its glorious run as the #2 on the R&B chart in 1977. Those beats were unstoppable!

    But let’s shine a light on "We Got Our Own Thang," a track that packed its bags with awesome rhythms and was ready to boogie!

That’s how you know a tune has truly made its mark—when it transcends genres and keeps the spirit alive!

    So, if you’re ever feeling low, just throw on "We Got Our Own Thang" and let it pull you into the vibrant world of dance and joy!
