The Baby Huey Story


Sorry for the complete lack of action around here. Things have been busy to say the least - but enough about that.

Any music blog about dead musicians is obligated to talk about Baby Huey. I don't know a ton about him beyond what I read at allmusic.com - check his entry here. He weighed nearly 400 pounds, 20 of which must have been his afro. He worked with Curtis Mayfield, sang like a funkier Otis Redding or Sam Cooke and only put out one album - which was not released until after his death at the age of 26.

The music speaks for itself - get it here.
