Speaking to Video Soul in 1987, Glover spoke about her working relationship with the musical icon. She said: "I've always idolized him, and it's not an intimate thing, it's just... he's great. I don't think there's anyone that can be as creative as he can - dance, play all his instruments. I've actually sat in the studio and watched him put down everything by himself, and I've just gone, 'My God, he's incredible, he really is.'"
