Background notes
Archive material and source history
CAT formed in New York City in the 1970s with Cathy Dennis on vocals, David Frank and Doug Emery on guitars, Kenny Lyon on bass, and Paul Shaffer on drums. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1977, mixing jazz, soul, and pop with a moody, introspective feel. The song 'You Belong to Me' became their most recognizable track.
Their third album, 'The Human Condition' from 1981, stirred some debate with its direct lyrics about love and alienation. They kept recording through the 1980s and 1990s, putting out albums like 'Eyes of a Stranger' in 1982 and 'Unforgettable' in 1993. The lineup shifted over time, with Dennis staying constant while other musicians like guitarist Danny Kortchmar came through.
Their sound never settled into one genre, which sometimes divided listeners, but they maintained a following drawn to the emotional weight in their music.
