Get It Right is a 1983 R&B album by Aretha Franklin, released on Arista Records on July 12 of that year. Luther Vandross produced the record in his second and final collaboration with Franklin, working with Marcus Miller, Nat Adderley Jr., guitarist Doc Powell, and percussionist Paulinho da Costa. The title track "Get It Right" topped the R&B chart and reached number 61 on the Hot 100, and "Every Girl (Wants My Guy)" was also issued. The album was her twenty-ninth studio release and proved less commercially successful than its predecessor, selling around 200,000 copies in the United States. It closed out the productive partnership between Franklin and Vandross.
