Gonna Catch You

"Gonna Catch You" is a 1991 single by Hi-NRG singer Lonnie Gordon. The track is written and produced by the group Black Box. First released around Europe in April 1991, it became the singer's second top 40 hit in the UK. It would be Gordon's last release with her UK label, Supreme Records, which folded soon after. Months later, the single was featured in the 1991 film, Cool as Ice. SBK Records signed Gordon and released the single in the U.S., making it her debut solo single in her homeland. It became the first of three number one dance singles in a row for Gordon in the US.[1] The single also made the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #79, and was Gordon's only hit on the soul singles chart peaking at #30.[2]

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that "this pop/house slammer, which was written and produced by the Black Box posse, is a fine intro to radio programmers here. Gordon delivers a swaggering, finger-snappin' vocal that should easily broaden her growing legion of fans."[3] Music & Media commented, "The chorus is so catchy, that the title must come true. The saxophones give the pop/dance song a very energetic feel. A feast for dance programmers."[4]
