"Black Cat" is a song by American R&B/pop singer Janet Jackson.

ong information

Released on September 4, 1990, [ [http://www.janet-xone.com/knowledge/remixdatabase/blackcat.html Janet Jackson | Remix Database | .janet|xone ] ] "Black Cat" was the sixth single from Jackson's fourth studio album, "Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814" (1989). Unlike the R&B- and pop-infused songs that Jackson had been releasing before, this song was strictly a rock and roll production solely written by Jackson and co-produced with one of the song's guitarist Jellybean Johnson. The song became Jackson's fourth number one hit single on the "Billboard" Hot 100.

Guitarists

For the album version of "Black Cat," most of the guitar lines were played by Dave Barry, including the intro, main riff, and a memorable thematic solo. Barry consequently became Janet's longtime touring guitarist. John McClain, A&R executive for A&M Records, provided the slide-guitar part, while Jellybean Johnson played the funky guitar part at the very end of the song. Although credited on the album, Jesse Johnson provided a guitar solo that was not used for the album version, but is featured in each of the remixes.

Several "Black Cat" remixes include Nuno Bettencourt on rhythm guitar.

Releases

The B-side on some of the releases features "The 1814 Megamix". Remixed by Alan Coulthard, it includes snippets of Jackson's previous hit singles "Alright", "Escapade", "Rhythm Nation", and "Miss You Much". The megamix does not appear on any other release from Jackson.

Music video

Directed by Wayne Isham, the video for "Black Cat" was a concert video from her "Rhythm Nation 1814 Tour". The video appears on the video releases "The Rhythm Nation Compilation" and "Design of a Decade 1986/1996". On April 27, 2007, the video was released on iTunes Store.
