Lonnie Gordon (born November 8, 1965, Philadelphia) is an American female dance, pop and R&B singer and songwriter.
In 1989, she contributed lead vocals to Simon Harris' cover of the On the House song "(I've Got Your) Pleasure Control", which became her first charting single in the UK.
[3] However she praised the quality of the record and credited producers SAW or making a credible R&B ballad in tune with the trends of the time.
[3] In November 1990, Gordon released her debut album's title track "If I Have to Stand Alone", which had a similar sound to "Happenin' All Over Again".
Gordon expressed her deep distress over the failure of the album to reach the potential of its first hit single, confessing it made her doubt herself for many years, but she now places the blame on political and artistic wrangling between her record company and SAW.
[5] In 1991, Gordon flew to Italy and recorded the song "Gonna Catch You", written and produced by the Italo house group Black Box.
Gordon has hit the U.S. dance chart two more times in 1996, with the songs "Dirty Love" on Geffen Records, which peaked at No.
Also, in 1997, Lonnie Gordon worked with European dance producers P.O.F., Roland Michael and Demetrius Ross and remixed the single, If You Really Love Me originally written and recorded by Stevie Wonder.
In 2002, Gordon starred as the lead vocalist and narrator for "Zumanity", another side of Cirque du Soleil, in Las Vegas.
[5] After leaving Cirque du Soleil, Gordon made her way back to London, England and constantly toured, working with UK-based company Allaboutdivas.com.
