Baby Huey was in the midst of recording tracks for his debut album when he died as a result of a heart attack in 1970. Some time lapsed before his manager Marv Stuart aka Marv Heinman and Curtis Mayfield took what had been already been recorded, added some instrumental tracks that had been recorded previously and managed to gather up enough for the albums release. It is quite likely that some of the tracks feature Curtom Records session men and not the Babysitters as Mayfield wanted to sign Ramey and not the rest of the band.
The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend is the only available release of Baby Huey. Several singles, including "Beg Me", "Monkey Man", "Messin' with the Kid" and "Just Being Careful" are not included.
