Winner Takes All is a studio album by the Isley Brothers, released on T-Neck Records on August 21, 1979.
The album continued the brothers' trademark of mixing uptempo funk numbers with softer soul balladry.
While some of their music had pioneered the genre, Winner Takes All was the first album to embrace disco rhythms.
However, ballads like "You're Beside Me" and "How Lucky I Am" still received airplay on quiet storm radio formats.
The Bay State Banner wrote that "every song is done in the characteristic two-part formula, with high energy levels and the familiar funk-rock synthesis.
