The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend
With a psychedelic brand of soul and a vocal style that drew comparisons to Otis Redding, the 300-400 pound Baby Huey was set to break out of the Chicago scene with the release of his debut album. Unfortunately, his weight and taste for drugs resulted in a fatal heart attack that prevented him from seeing the release of the disc. Featuring Curtis Mayfield'sHard TimesandMighty Mighty Childrenplus a cover of Sam Cooke'sA Change Is Gonna Come,Baby Huey's lone album (recorded in 1970 and released in 1971) has become a sought-after collectible among soul fanatics.
