Cathy Dennis
Biography
A dance diva with a great, soulful voice, Cathy Dennis is best remembered for a handful of pop hits from the early '90s, but her presence on the charts extends well past that. Born in Norwich, U.K., Dennis started publicly performing at the age of 13 with her father's big band playing various resorts and hotels. In her late teens she was performing with a cover band when she was spotted by Simon Fuller, then managing Dancin' Danny D and his club act, D-Mob. Fuller worked a deal with Polydor Records where Dancin' Danny D would produce a Dennis album. Three years later there still wasn't any album, so Dennis took a break and recorded vocals for D-Mob's "C'mon and Get My Love." The dance track was a huge hit and appeared on both D-Mob's Little Bit of This, Little Bit of That and Dennis' finally completed debut, Move to This, released in 1990.

She stayed on the charts with the dance follow-ups "Just Another Dream" and "All Night Long (Touch Me)," as well as the ballad "Too Many Walls," co-written with the Art of Noise's Anne Dudley. Ultra-successful dance producer Shep Pettibone was at the helm for most of the 1992 sophomore album, Into the Skyline, but it yielded no hits and quickly fell off the charts.
