Jump To It is an album by Aretha Franklin, produced by Luther Vandross and originally released in the summer of 1982.

This disc gave Aretha 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 Aretha with her first Gold-certified disc and Top 40 song since Sparkle in 1976.

The title track, "Jump To It", was Aretha'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.

(*Over 500,000 copies sold in the United States)

In 2005, Patrick Alavi released "Come To Me" which used a Sample of "Jump To It".
