Today's (4 October) Billboard R&B Album Chart Debut(s): Gregory Abbott - Shake You Down from 1986

Written by Mark Berbiers

Today, 24 years ago in 1986, the album Shake You Down by Gregory Abbott debuted on the billboard Top R&B Albums Chart. It reached #5 and was on the chart for a total of 38 weeks.

'Old' soul stylising is pretty much the order of the day with "I Got The Feelin' (It's Over)" a pretty seventies swayer, "Say You Will" heavily orchestrated and a touch 'Northern',- and "You're My Angel" and "Magic" ? moving, compelling dance that is more beaty than funky. There is, however, some genuinely contemporary stuff here with the very Freddie J. title track grabbing the attention and "Wait Until Tommorow" working nicely as a simple but effective ballad. "I'll Find A Way" dissapoints, particularly in the light of the rest of the material, with its MOR a la Whitney mode, and "Rhyme & Reason" is another Yank trying it in a rockers stylee but sounding more like Harry Belafonte! But with only two real blemishes on this set, I think it is safe to assume that another eighties soul talent has arrived.

Other debut entries are:
The album I Heard It In A Love Song by Mcfadden And Whitehead debuted in 1980. This album reached #29 and was on the chart for a total of 8 weeks.
