Who was Cat Glover?
Glover skyrocketed to fame in the late 1980s after one groovy encounter with Prince at a club. He asked her to dance with him to "Simply Irresistible" by Robert Palmer.
"I was wearing cowboy boots and a pair of Levi's jeans. He reached to hold my hands while we were dancing, but, I had leather gloves on, so, I couldn't feel anything, Glover shared in a 2013 blog interview. "He started doing dance steps and I started doing them; whatever he did, I did. I think he noticed that, so, he started doing them more and I started doing them more."
That was the night, according to Glover, that "it all started."
She worked closely with Prince after, singing, dancing and choreographing for various projections including the 1987 “Sign o’ the Times” tour and concert film and the 1988 “Lovesexy” tour, the Sun Times reported. Glover also coined the "Cat Scat," a dance move that made its debut on “Star Search” in 1986, according to the Sun Times.
