Pretty Poison is a dance music group based out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Group members include lead vocalist Jade Starling, keyboardist Whey Cooler, guitarist Louie Franco and drummer Bobby Corea.
They charted for the first time in 1984 with the song "Nighttime," which hit number fourteen on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart. In 1987 their song "Catch Me (I'm Falling)" was featured in the movie Hiding Out, and with heavy MTV exposure, became a top ten U.S. Billboard Hot 100 hit, peaking at number eight. The song also went to number one on the dance chart. The B-side contained a shorter "Spanish Mix" vocal. A re-recorded version of "Nighttime" became their second Hot 100 hit, climbing to number thirty-six.
Pretty Poison had several more dance chart entries, the most recent being a new version of "Catch Me (I'm Falling)" which hit number forty-three in 1998.
