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. In the US, two singles were released from the record (Europe saw a third single-release with "You're My Angel"); 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.

Shake You Down" is a song by American R&B artist, writer and producer Gregory Abbott. It was released in September 1986 as the lead single from his debut album. It became Abbott's biggest hit and was certified platinum by the RIAA. Abbott went on the chart with several other songs as well. The track is also featured in the 2007 film Are We Done Yet? Gregory Abbott wrote the song along with over thirty others before striking a record deal with CBS. He recorded a demo tape and chose the best three.

Shake You Down" is a phrase Abbott came up with that he thought expressed the way a man feels when he sees an attractive woman - "Girl, I want to shake you down. He tried the phrase out on a female friend and when she responded positively, it became the title for a song he was working on. After making a demo, Abbott's uncle Mike Abbott told employees of Charles Koppelman's production group, the Entertainment Company, about the song his nephew had written. Through Koppelman's firm, Abbott got a solo deal with Columbia Records and the song became a huge hi. .
