If Baby Huey hadn't passed away at 26, he'd likely be a top funk star today. Weighing 350 pounds with a booming soul, his energetic stage shows made him famous worldwide. 'The Baby Huey Story - The Living Legend' is his only 1971 LP, released post - humously on Curtis Mayfield's Curtom label, with Mayfield handling production. His live cover of 'Mighty Mighty' is powerful, with moving vocals and a children's chorus. 'Hard Times' is a standout, sampled by many big names like ATCQ, Biz Markie, and Lil Wayne. 'Listen To Me' has a great outro break with Huey's unique grunts. This is a top - quality 180 - gram vinyl repress, complete with an original gatefold repro and liner notes. Features include 180g black vinyl pressing, housed in a repro gatefold package with liner notes, and the music label is Curtom 1971. Reviewed by the mgmnt 07/2019.
Using this 180g vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently lower the tonearm, and enjoy the amazing music of Baby Huey. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or fingerprints on it. Keep the record away from direct sunlight and heat, as these can warp the vinyl.

That's all you need to do to keep this great piece of music in top condition and enjoy it for years to come.
