"Take Me to the Next Phase (Part 1)" was a hit song for R&B/funk band The Isley Brothers. The song has the sound of a live stadium recording, but it was created entirely in a recording studio. Ernie and Marvin Isley plus Chris Jasper laid the foot stomps and some of the crowd noises across 24 recording tracks. Released from their hit 1978 album, Showdown, the single spent 2 weeks at number one on the R&B singles chart. However, it never managed to cross over to the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
