#AlbumForToday: #BabyHuey – The Baby Huey Story (1971). James “Baby Huey” Ramey was on his way to stardom in 1970, when he died of a drug-induced heart attack mid-way through the recording of this, his only album. Pieced together by Curtis Mayfield, the posthumous release featured “Listen to Me,” “Hard Times,” and “Running” – all deep soul classics hinting at future greatness denied by tragedy. Rappers like Ice Cube and Tribe Called Quest later found inspiration here. #Vinyl, #Album, #Soul, #R&B

Released posthumously on the album The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend just a year after he passed away, the album did not sell well initially, but has since been reevaluated as a classic of its period.
“Running” was written by Curtis Mayfield, and once you know that, it becomes painfully obvious. It has that unmistakable Curtis sound.
