Shake You Down is the debut album from R&B singer-songwriter Gregory Abbott. It was self-written and produced, being released by Columbia Records in 1986.

Contents

Two singles were released from the record; the title track was a massive hit single, reaching the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in '86. The other, "I Got The Feelin' (It's Over) was an R&B hit, as well, reaching number 5 on that chart. On the strength of the singles, the album went platinum; it reached that certification on February 2, 1987.
