Cathy Dennis Resources
Cathy Dennis (born March 25, 1969 in Norwich, England) is a singer, songwriter and record producer.
Dennis achieved her first success as a vocalist with the dance group D Mob when their single "C'mon And Get My Love" reached the top 10 in the United States in 1989.
She scored three solo top 10 hits in the United States in the early nineties with "Just Another Dream", "Touch Me (All Night Long)", which is likely her most remembered hit to date, and "Too Many Walls", but her subsequent releases failed to achieve this level of success.
Her greatest success, in recent years, has come as a songwriter: five of her compositions have reached number one in Britain. "Never Had A Dream Come True" and "Have You Ever" (both recorded by S Club 7, and the former of which was as big in America as it was in Britain), "Anything Is Possible" (recorded by
Will Young), and "Toxic" (recorded by
Britney Spears and was also a number one American smash) all reached number one. Her highest-selling composition, "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" (recorded by
Kylie Minogue), spent four weeks at number one in Britain, rekindled interest in Minogue in America, where it hit #7 on the Hot 100, and sold over 3 million copies worldwide to become the world's second highest selling single in 2001. "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" also won Dennis an Ivor Novello Award for the year's most performed composition. She also won this award two years later for "Anything Is Possible".
She co-wrote the American Idol theme for the television series, and in Britain and the United States contestants
Will Young, Gareth Gates,
Kelly Clarkson, and
Clay Aiken have recorded her songs as their first singles. Other artists who have recorded her songs include
Dannii Minogue,
Delta Goodrem,
Céline Dion, Spice Girls,
Emma Bunton, Ronan Keating, Rachel Stevens, Hear'Say, S Club Juniors, and Jentina.
