Who was Cat Glover?

Glover gained recognition in the late 1980s after an unforgettable interaction with Prince at a nightclub. He invited her to dance with him to “Simply Irresistible” by Robert Palmer.

“I was in cowboy boots and Levi jeans. When we danced, he reached for my hands, but I had on leather gloves and couldn’t feel a thing. He started showing me dance moves, and I followed his lead; whatever he did, I copied,” Glover recounted in a blog interview in 2013. “I think he noticed this, so he began to dance even more, and so did I.”

That evening, Glover said, marked the beginning of her journey.

Afterward, she collaborated closely with Prince, lending her voice, dance skills, and choreography to productions like the 1987 “Sign o’ the Times” tour and concert film, as well as the 1988 “Lovesexy” tour, according to the Sun Times. Glover also created the “Cat Scat,” a dance move that premiered on “Star Search” in 1986.
