The Arif Mardin-produced disc reached fourth place on Billboard's R&B albums chart and number 36 on the main Billboard album chart.

Aretha Franklin - Jump To It. 1982.


Jump to It gave Franklin her tenth number-one R&B album – then the all-time record. It enjoyed a seven-week run at number one on Billboard's R&B albums chart and also reached number 23 on Billboard's Pop albums chart. It was hailed as a comeback, given that it provided Franklin with her first Gold-certified disc and Top 40 Pop entry since Sparkle in 1976.

The title track, "Jump to It", was Franklin's first Top 40 Pop hit since 1976, and her first R&B chart topper since 1977's "Break It to Me Gently". "Jump to It" was nominated for a Grammy Award. The LP itself received an American Music Award for Best Soul Album in 1983.

Aretha Franklin – Get It Right. 1983.

It was produced by Luther Vandross, following his successful teaming with the singer for the Gold-certified album, Jump to It, in 1982. Get It Right was not as commercially successful, and Franklin did not have Vandross produce any further albums.

The disc's title song became a number 1 hit on Billboard's R&B singles chart, but it stalled at only number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100.
