Baby Huey - The Baby Huey Story (The Living Legend) in details

Ramey came to prominence under the stage name Baby Huey as the vocalist for the group Baby Huey & the Babysitters, which released a string of singles and found success in the Chicago area during the 1960s.

Baby Huey was in the midst of recording tracks for his debut album when he died as a result of a heart attack in 1970. Some time lapsed before his manager Marv Stuart, aka Marv Heiman, and producer/songwriter/musician Curtis Mayfield took what had already been recorded, added some instrumental tracks that had been recorded previously, and managed to gather up enough for the album's release.

It is quite likely that some of the tracks feature Curtom Records session men and not the Babysitters since Mayfield wanted to sign Ramey and not the rest of the band. Noteworthy tracks include a "massive psychedelic rendition" of Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come."
