I WANNA MAKE IT UP TO YOU

Ree and LV (whose DANCE WITH MY FATHER only recently made me appreciate this marvelous man)! I must have passed this CD up 1000 times but now it's FOR REAL and I JUMP TO IT! You do it, too!

Pure Genuis!

In 1982, Ms Franklin hooked up with Mr Soul himself, Luther Vandross, for a 2 album deal, the first instalment being "Jump to It". With legendary bassist Marcus Miller providing the rhythm section, Luther's Midas touch as producer, and Aretha on form vocally, the result was an awesome album that has stood the test of time.



The album kicks off with the catchy title track - just listen to those vocals! It doesn't get better than this. Aretha sounds alive!



Luther's vocal intro to "Love Me Right" (a low-down, funky ditty) is great and it blends well with Aretha's. The middle tracks are easy, but the outstanding cut has to be "It's Your Thing". Can Marcus play a sweet bass line or what? Listening to Aretha here puts chills down my spine - the track opens and closes in spectacular style.



There's not a duff track here, just 8 gems. This is an entertaining album and proof that the Queen of Soul hadn't lost her touch.
