Baby Huey is a Funk act. Their sound grew out of Sam Cooke and Sly and the Family Stone. Those roots explain a lot about how Baby Huey arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Shuggie Otis, Eddie Hazel, Betty Davis, Isaac Hayes and Lafayette Afro Rock Band, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Roots, John Legend, Biz Markie, Ghostface Killah and A Tribe Called Quest, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
