"Devil's Gun" is a 1977 song by C. J. & Company from the album of the same name. Along with the tracks "We Got Our Own Thing" and "Sure Can't Go to the Moon", the song went to number one for five weeks on the Billboard disco/dance chart. The single also peaked at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on the R&B chart.
"Devil's Gun" was written by Barry Green (also known as Barry Blue), Ron Roker, and Gerry Shury and produced by Mike Theodore and Dennis Coffey. The song is notable for being the first record played at the opening of Studio 54 on April 26, 1977, by DJ Richie Kaczor.
In 2016 the song was rediscovered due to its inclusion in The Get Down soundtrack.
