Who's Zoomin' Who? is a classic album by Aretha Franklin, originally released in the summer of 1985. It was the first ever million-selling Platinum record of Franklin's recording career.
The album's lead single, "Freeway of Love", was one of Franklin's biggest hits. It held the #1 position on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for five consecutive weeks and also reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Freeway of Love" also won a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. The follow-up single was the album's title track, "Who's Zoomin' Who", which reached #2 on the R&B chart as well as #7 on Billboard's Hot 100. It also returned Aretha to the Top 10 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart.
The television series Grey's Anatomy borrowed the name for their season one finale.
