Aretha Franklin - Arista / BMG (1980 - Present)
'Get It Right' (1983)
Aretha scored a major hit with the previous 'Jump to It' (also produced by Vandross), but this followup is less impressive and didn't move as many units. Vandross wrote most of the material, including the No. 1 R&B title track and the R&B Top Ten hit "Every Girl (Wants My Guy)," although he also has Franklin tackle the Temptations hit "I Wish It Would Rain," in a painfully overwrought production. With this record, what had seemed to be an artist/producer marriage made in heaven hit the rocks.
