Biography
Glover originally hit the mainstream in television alongside her dance partner Patrick Allen in the duo known simply as "Pat & Cat" on the hit major talent show Star Search. Their act was the first to ever achieve a "Perfect Score" of Four Stars on the show. She was the standout member of the duo, winning the crowd over with her trademark dance move "Cat Scat".
Glover is perhaps best known for her work with Prince in the late 1980s. She choreographed and appeared in several of his videos and his concert film Sign o' the Times, traveled with him as a backing vocalist and dancer on the Sign o' the Times Tour and Lovesexy Tour, and rapped on both The Black Album track "Cindy C." and the Lovesexy song "Alphabet St." She was supposed to have released an album on Paisley Park, but the project was ultimately canceled.
Following her work with Prince, she released the EP Catwoman in 1989. Subsequently, she worked in London and Los Angeles, recording her own material as well as continuing her choreography and performing.
Glover recorded with Tim Simenon of Bomb the Bass, Louie Louie, and Steve Hopkins.
Glover died on September 24, 2024, at the age of 60.
