Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky) is the nineteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Aretha Franklin.
Released in mid-1973 by Atlantic Records, it was the first Atlantic album by Franklin to miss the Top 25 of the main Billboard chart, peaking at number 30, and reaching number 2 on the R&B albums listing. This album was originally planned to be a straight jazz album, with songs like "Moody's Mood" and "Just Right Tonight", but producers Franklin and Quincy Jones took a detour and included songs such as "Mister Spain" and the title cut.
Other notable songs include the No. 1 R&B and top 20 pop single "Angel", written by Franklin's younger sister Carolyn Franklin, as well as a cover of "Somewhere" that features Franklin on piano and Phil Woods on alto saxophone. This recording was reissued on compact disc through Rhino Records in the 1990s. The song "Master of Eyes" was included as the tenth track on the reissue, although it was not included on the first release.
