Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky) is the nineteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Aretha Franklin. Recorded in April, May, and August 1972 at the Record Plant in Los Angeles and released in mid-1973 by Atlantic Records, it was the first Atlantic album by Franklin to not be produced by Jerry Wexler, instead being produced by Quincy Jones. This album was originally planned to be a straight jazz album, as Jerry Wexler told both Mark Bego and David Ritz in their respective accounts of Franklin's life. However, as the sessions evolved, Franklin and Jones began embracing and incorporating pop, soul, and funk. More than 20 songs were recorded for the album. Eight previously unreleased recordings were issued on 2007's Rare & Unreleased Recordings from the Golden Reign of the Queen of Soul. 2021's Aretha compilation included an additional two unreleased recordings from the sessions, an alternate take of "Somewhere" and the work tape of "Angel". The album was reissued on compact disc through Rhino Records in 1994.
