First off I want to give a shotout to a silent partner in KevinCaseyMusic.com, my boy Pete Walsh.
James Ramey, aka Baby Huey never got to reach his full potential as an artist. His large size contributed to his stage presence, but also to his death from a heart attack at the age of 26. The style as to which Huey delivered his vocals in some of his music can be closely tied to rap. Many people see his only album The Baby Huey Story, as a very significant influence for hip hop music. ”Hard Times” has been sampled by over a dozen hip hop artists.
