Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky) is the twenty-first studio album by American singer-songwriter Aretha Franklin. Released on June 25, 1973 by Atlantic Records, It was the first Atlantic album by Aretha to miss the Top 25 of the album chart. (It peaked at #30.) 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 produced songs like "Mister Spain" and the title cut. Critics dismissed this album as Aretha's worst LP up until that point. The album is however considered a classic to some of Aretha's die-hard fans. A high point was the #1 R&B and Top 20 Pop single "Angel" written by Aretha's younger sister, Carolyn Franklin, as well as her cover of "Somewhere" which features Franklin on piano and Phil Woods on alto sax. This recording was reissued on compact disc through Rhino Records in the 1990s. The song "Master Of Eyes" was included as the 10th track on the reissue. Even though it was a single, it was not included on the first release.
