Baby Huey United States
Biography
Baby Huey was a large and locally beloved figure on the Chicago soul scene in the late 1960's. Born James Ramey in Richmond, IN, in 1944, Baby Huey never achieved great renown outside of his hometown, for despite an exciting live act, his debut album on Curtis Mayfield's Curtom label wasn't released until after his death from an overdose in 1970. He was literally an enormous stage presence: a glandular problem kept his weight around 350-400 pounds and beyond.
