I love him and wanted to share for his fans. If you are a fan, Gregory posted on facebook that his song and album "Shake You Down" is a 25th anniversary and now Friday Music is offering this:

Shake You Down, which will forever reign as one of the smoothest and hippest tunes of all time. Released in 1986, this important piece of ear candy drenched in classic soul, successfully bridged the blue-eyed platinum sound of Hall & Oates with the funk/groove of Marvin Gaye. The tune also netted a popular phrase at the time with its cool title and the catchy Rock You Down throw down in the chorus, making this an unforgettable journey both for the fans and for this superstar artist.

Propelled with the success of this massive popular song, Gregory Abbott's Shake You Down album raced all the way to the upper rungs of the urban, pop, adult contemporary and club music charts. Music videos also were getting spins as the title track and his amazing follow-up single I Got the Feeling (It's Over) forced his debut album for Columbia Records to become a dependable treasure trove of hits for music outlets all over the world.

More soulful and funk balladry abound as tracks like You're My Angel and Say You Will continue to thrill the listener, as well as the gospel feel of the amazing album closer I'll Find A Way, which truly displays the versatile talent of this award winning performer in a totally different musical setting.

Friday Music is very honored to be offering this amazing Gregory Abbott album once again as Shake You Down/The 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. This special compact disc is now impeccably remastered from the original Columbia Records tapes and also features the hard to find bonus track 12" club mix of his number one hit single Shake You Down. We have also included some classic memorabilia from the archives as well as the original album artwork faithfully restored for the first time in compact disc form. Enjoy.
