Before Baby Huey’s untimely death in 1970 at age 26, his band represented a commingling of different backgrounds, and music, during a time and place that is generally thought of as deeply segregated. This group of mostly African American musicians originally became popular within Chicago’s predominantly white music venues on the city’s North Side. At the same time, the group drew from its sources in black music—R\u0026amp;B, gospel, blues—as well as the burgeoning identifiers of late-’60s rock music, particularly electric guitar leads and feedback. This presentation will examine how the group was part of a small, yet influential, movement of integrated groups that were performing in Chicago at that time, including Rotary Connection (featuring Minnie Riperton) and Rufus (whose singer, Chaka Khan, sang briefly in The Babysitters after Baby Huey’s death). I will also look at how much the band’s roots in Indiana fueled its initial inspiration before moving onto bigger stages across the state line.
