Take No Prisoners is the 11th full-length album by R&B/soul singer-songwriter Peabo Bryson, released in June 1985.[1] The album peaked at No. 102 on the US Billboard 200 and No. 40 on the US R&B albums chart.[citation needed]

Three singles were released, including the title track and the pop crossover ballad "Love Always Finds a Way", the latter of which peaked at No. 26 on the Adult Contemporary chart in early 1986.[2] The album's title track became a minor hit on both the pop and R&B charts, supported by a Miami Vice-inspired music video.[3] In addition to Chaka Khan, contributing artists include Jennifer Holliday, Kashif and Robbie Buchanan.
