Touchdown is the sixth album by Bob James, released in 1978 on his Tappan Zee label thru Columbia.
The album's title is a reference to this being James' sixth solo album (a touchdown being worth six points in American football), a pattern also followed by his previous album Heads (featuring a five cent coin on its cover) and next album Lucky Seven.
Touchdown contains the song "Angela", the popular theme to the 1970s television sitcom Taxi.
[3] The song was named after a guest character in the third episode of the first season ("Blind Date"), but after hearing the song, the producers made this the show's main theme, replacing their previous choice, which became this album's title track.
All songs written by Bob James Brass and Woodwinds Strings
