Aretha Franklin - Arista / BMG (1980 - Present)
'Jump To It' (1982)
Aretha Franklin scored some long overdue hits with this 1982 album and managed to make concessions to urban contemporary tastes without totally distoring her classic soul sound. While it's certainly not in the class of past recordings, the title cut gave Franklin her first number one of the '80s, and "Love Me Right" was a decent followup.
