"'Gonna Catch You'" is a 1991 song by American Hi-NRG singer Lonnie Gordon. It is written and produced by Italian group Black Box. First released around Europe in April 1991, it became the singer's second top 40 hit in the UK. It would also 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 US, 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. 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.
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." Pan-European magazine '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."
