"Jump to It" is the twenty-eighth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, produced by Luther Vandross and released in July 1982. This album gave Franklin her tenth #1 R&B album - at the time it was the all-time record. 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 Franklin with her first Gold-certified disc and Top 40 song since "Sparkle" in 1976. The title track, "Jump to It", was Franklin'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. The album itself received an American Music Award for Best Soul Album in 1983.
