THE LIVING LEGEND IS THE POSTHUMOUS RELEASE  BY JAMES THOMAS RAMEY, BETTER KNOWN BY HIS STAGE NAME BABY HUEY. HE WAS BORN IN RICHMOND, INDIANA AND MOVED TO CHICAGO IN THE EARLY '60S TO FRONT HIS BAND "THE BABYSITTERS" WITH COFOUNDERS MELVIN DEACON JONES ON TRUMPET AND JOHNNY ROSS ON GUITAR. BY THE TIME THEY RECORDED "THE LIVING LEGEND," ONLY HUEY AND JONES REMAINED. BECAUSE OF A GLANDULAR DISORDER, HUEY WEIGHED CLOSE TO 400 POUNDS, CONTRIBUTING TO HIS LARGER THAN LIFE STAGE PRESENCE, BUT ALSO TO A HOST OF HEALTH ISSUES. DURING THE LATER '60S, THE BABYSITTERS FOLLOWED SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE'S LEAD AND BECAME A PSYCHEDELIC SOUL ACT, WITH HUEY ADDING RHYMES TO THEIR STAGE ACT. CURTIS MAYFIELD, TIPPED OFF BY DANNY HATHAWAY, CAME TO CHECK THEM OUT AND THEY WERE IN THE MIDST OF RECORDING "THE LIVING LEGEND" FOR HIS LABEL WHEN HUEY DIED IN A HOTEL ROOM, JUST A FEW WEEKS AFTER JIMI HENDRIX. THIS VINYL PRESSING CONTAINS THE REMASTER OF THE ALBUM, MAKING IS SOUND MORE VIBRANT AND ELECTRIFYING THAN EVER BEFORE. IT ALSO COMES HOUSED IN REPLICATED ARTWORK.                                 

FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, STILL SEALED.

NOTE: ANY GLARE IS FROM MY CAMERA, NOT THE ALBUM.
