Some background on Baby:

A native of Richmond, Indiana, James Ramey moved to Chicago, Illinois at the age of nineteen, and worked with several local bands as a singer.

His size contributed to his stage presence, but also to health problems. Nevertheless, he made light of his condition, adopting the stage name “Baby Huey” after Paramount Pictures’ giant duckling cartoon character of the same name.
