Baby Huey - "Hard Times" (1971)

Artist: Baby Huey
Song: "Hard Times"
Producer: Curtis Mayfield
Album: The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend
Label: Curtom (1971)

With a experimental brand of soul and a vocal style that drew comparisons to Otis Redding, the 400 pound soul singer James Ramey (better known by his stage name Baby Huey) was set to break nationally with his 1971 debut album, The Living Legend. Unfortunately, heart failure stopped him from ever seeing the release of the disc. Baby Huey's debut solo record has become a sought-after collectible soul fanatics.

Gregory D and Company - "More Than A Conqueror"

Move over GM because Lansing Michigan hasn’t seen the likes of this since Magic Johnson! This is no surprise since Magic’s blood courses through Gregory D’s veins. They are cousins in a family that just will not stop producing remarkable individuals who exemplify excellence and the love of God. Gregory D, of Gregory D and Company, is no exception to that rule. Gregory D, and his wife of over 11 years, are the founders of Chosen by God Ministries, LLC and the group is the newest dynamic in Gospel music. Gregory’s passion, enthusiasm, and thirst for excellence have resulted in “More than a Conqueror,” which represents the group’s first new project since “He’s Good” hit the airwaves. This is sure to be a Dove Award contender.
