Showdown is a 1978 funk album released by The Isley Brothers on their T-Neck imprint. Spawning the #1 funk/disco hit, "Take Me to the Next Phase" and the top 20 R&B slower, "Groove With You", the album became another platinum album for the Isleys. Many say that this was the last seemingly great record from the 3 + 3 lineup of the group.
