Title: The Baby Huey Story
Review: Produced by Curtis Mayfield, this album provides smouldering ballads and hammond driven funk workouts. Baby Huey's excellent voice is showcased on his version of "A Change Is Gonna Come" which is right up there with Sam and Otis' crackers. The highlight is a viscious live cut of Mighty Mighty, the Curtis Mayfield classic, with a blistering horn section the backdrop to a monster funk jam. Huey's untimely death has lead to a limited range of tracks with a couple of versions of the same songs (hence the four star review) but don't let that put you off somebody who was sure to right up there with Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield,George Clinton and The Ohio Players as one of soul-funks phattest funkers.
