Baby Huey Career

Life and career

James, a native of Richmond, Indiana, was the son of Robert and Ernestine Ramey. At the age of nineteen, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, and performed with many local bands as a singer. He was working with his first; the Vets, when he was still in high school. Ramey was about 350 pounds (160 kg) at the time due to a glandular disorder. His size contributed to his stage appearance, but also to his health. However, he mocked his illness by adopting the stage name "Baby Huey" after After Paraphrase Pictures' huge duckling cartoon character of the same name, he made a jumbled cartoon character. Ramey, organist/trumpeter Melvyn "Deacon" Jones, and guitarist Johnny Ross formed Baby Huey & the Babysitters in 1963, making the band a hit local band and releasing several RPM singles. "Beg Me," "Monkey Man," "Messin' with the Kid" and "Just Being Careful" were among the four songs that were released as single singles.

The band followed Sly & the Family Stone's example and became a psychedelic soul act in the late 1960s. Huey began wearing an Afro and wore psychedelic African-inspired robes, as well as adding sing-song, self-referential rhymes to his live performances. Ramey's rhymes were very similar to those that were later popularized by rappers in hip-hop music, according to his bandmates. The Babysitters were a hit live performance, but they didn't have time out to record an album. They toured extensively in the United States and were welcomed by a Rothschild family member who travelled with the band to Paris, France, to play at a family ball. The band's appearances in clubs culminated in a Vogue magazine feature.

Marv Heiman, the band's manager, secured them an audition with Curtom Records arranger Donny Hathaway in early 1969. Hathaway attended the Thumbs Up club and was incredibly impressed by the performance, according to Heiman, who invited Curtis Mayfield to attend the following night. Mayfield wanted to sign Baby Huey but not the band. Despite being included in Ramey's debut album, there were moments of fear among them, and Jones left the band early in the project. Ross is also likely that he resigned some time before.

Ramey had developed a heroin use by 1970, and his weight had risen to over 400 pounds (180 kg). He began missing gigs or turning up late, and in the spring of 1970, he began recovering at the behest of his bandmates. Ramey was also bingeing alcohol in addition to the heroin addiction. Melvyn Jones had written in his book that Ramey's drug box fell out of the box as poured his breakfast cereal.
