Jump to It

Jump To It is a Gold-certified*, chart-topping Aretha Franklin album, produced by the late Luther Vandross and originally released in the summer of 1982. It enjoyed a seven week run at #1 on Billboard's R&B albums chart and also reached #23 on Billboard's main album chart. It was hailed as a comeback album, given that it provided Aretha with her first Gold record and Top 40 song since Sparkle in 1976. It drew rave reviews for its smoothness and is regarded as one of Aretha's finest recordings. This album is currently out of print. The title track, "Jump To It", was Aretha's first Pop Top 40 hit since 1976 and her first #1 R&B hit since 1977's "Break It To Me Gently". The infectious song was nominated for a Grammy Award.
