About Norma Tanega

Norma Cecilia Tanega (January 30, 1939, Vallejo, California – December 29, 2019, Claremont, California) is an American folk/pop singer/songwriter. She first signed to New Voice Records in 1966.

Her debut single, “Walkin' My Cat Named Dog”, reached No. 22 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, though the novelty song soon proved to be a one-hit-wonder. Tanega continued recording folk and folk-pop material, including an album for RCA Records after moving to the UK in the 1970s. When she returned to the U.S., she got her Master of Fine Arts in painting and began teaching art in Claremont, California. She also began working with ceramic percussion instruments, recorded with Brian and Amanda Ransom, and was a member of the world music ensemble Hybrid Vigor.

During the late 1960s, Tanega had a romantic relationship with singer Dusty Springfield.
