Although most of us probably prefer her 70s work, she has made
a lot of good music after she left Atlantic records.
11 albums, which includes a gospel album, plenty of cover versions, duets with Whitney Houston, James Brown, Luther Vandross, George Michael, Eurythimcs, Elton John, Four tops, George Benson, and a few more.

So, what do you think of the music she recorded for Arista?

- Aretha (1980)
- Love all the hurt away (1981)
- Jump to it (1982)
- Get it right (1983)
- Who's zoomin' who? (1985)
- Aretha (1986)
- One lord, one faith,
one baptism (1987)
- Through the storm (1989)
- What you see is
what you sweat (1991)
- A rose is still a rose (1998)
- So damn happy (2003)

Re' stayed with the times without selling out..

"Jump To It" is the shit!

I had the Aretha album from '86 with the Warhol cover.

I loved that album. I had it on cassette for years but lost it recently.

Yes, you can still hear it`s her, and she`s still able to make good music, the "So damn happy album" is wonderful,
especially "The only thing missin`" I`ve heard a GREAT remix of that song, "Giorgio Moroder Mix", but it`s only available on vinyl...

I was actually suprised that "Jump to it" and "Get it right" is so difficult to find these days, i found mine for about $10 each, and i`m glad i did, "Get it right" is a very good album

Great album, i love the song "Jimmy Lee", but "Jumpin` Jack flash" is NOT one of my favorites... You can find it on ebay for a few dollars.

Is "What You See is What You Sweat" a dance album or something...sounds kind of gross if not? Sounds like an impressive resume for someone mostly known for hits in the sixties and seventies.

Aretha thrived on Arista,imo.Some of the best songs from her Arista years:

"United Together" (1980)
"Jump To It" (1982)
"Love Me Right" (1982)
"Every Girl (Wants My Guy)" (1983)
"Another Night" (1985)
"Who's Zoomin Who" (1985)
"Until You Say You Love Me" (1985)
"Jimmy Lee" (1986)
"Everchanging Times" with Michael McDonald (1991)

I don`t know how to describe it, it was made in 1991, and that`s how it sounds, very dated, in a bad way...
