Take Me All the Way is an album by the American musician Stacy Lattisaw, released in 1986 on Motown Records.[1][2] The album features the song "Nail It to the Wall". The Washington Post concluded that, "though Lattisaw's voice has developed muscles and her new aggressive approach is an improvement over her bubblegum soul beginnings, her phrasing and musical personality remain unformed; she sounds like a girl playing dress-up."[3]
