Inside You is the 20th album by the Isley Brothers, released on T-Neck Records on December 1, 1981.

The album was remastered and expanded for inclusion in the 2015 released CD box set The RCA Victor & T-Neck Album Masters, 1959-1983.

Reception

The title track was one of their notable hits in the beginning of the 1980s though it didn't return the Isley Brothers to their past glory. The older and younger Isleys, in the meantime, were arguing over the group's direction. Disagreements would eventually lead to an implosion in the 3 + 3 lineup.
