Cathys Through Time - Part 1. Cathy Rogers

Where else could one start with our regular showcasing the world’s greatest Cathys, but with Cathy Rogers?

She will, of course, leave a Scrapheap Challenge legacy, but her core fans will remember her with great joy – nay, gratitude - for her groundbreaking work with the popular beat combo, Heavenly.

Heavenly transcended genres. They looked at pop, took a step back and boisterously stamped on its hideously disfigured toes. They had a brief fling with Reggaeton but decided that wherever there are two g’s there is a niggling desire to break moulds.

They finally settled on ‘Misc.’.

Rogers’ keyboarding skills made scholars weep and small children develop new ways of fighting crime.

Although Cathy Rogers is still with us and ‘running an olive farm in Italy’ (I think it‘s clear that‘s a metaphor…), I feel the time is right to offer our condolences for her future death.

RIP Cathy Rogers.
