Get It Right is the twenty-ninth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, released on July 14, 1983 by Arista Records. It was produced by Luther Vandross, following his successful teaming with the singer for the Gold-certified album, Jump to It, in 1982. Get It Right was not as commercially successful, and Franklin did not have Vandross produce any further albums.[4][5]
