Company
Track ten of her debut, written with Alfred Johnson and given an orchestral arrangement by Johnny Mandel.
Rickie Lee Jones, from Rickie Lee Jones (1979)
Rickie Lee Jones and Alfred Johnson wrote "Company", the tenth track on the 1979 debut, 4:40, with an orchestral arrangement by Johnny Mandel, which Session Days confirms was on tracks eight and ten. Jones and Johnson performed it live in Los Angeles, notably at the Ala Carte club, before it was recorded. It was not a single and we found no chart history. We could not find per-track personnel, a comment from her on what it is about, a video, or covers and samples.
Setlist.fm counts 20 performances of the song, against 196 for "Weasel and the White Boys Cool", 189 for "The Last Chance Texaco" and 179 for "Chuck E.'s in Love". The YouTube page for our upload returned no metadata, so we could not tell whether it is the studio recording or a live version.
