FRED HUGHES - BABY BOY
Although the biographical information is pure fantasy (Fred Hughes was born in Oakland, CA) I love the novel-like lyrics of this song!
Actually, Fred Hughes was born in Arkansas. He moved to Los Angeles and formed his own band, The Creators. According to this website: http://freddiehughes.blogspot.com, Fred Hughes is often confused with Freddie Hughes, an Oakland, California recording artist, and Castlemont High School graduate. Fred Hughes has a different style. Freddie Hughes recorded on occasion with a local Oakland Group, The Ballads, and he shared a producer with The Whispers. He recorded Send My Baby Back with Wand records. He also recorded I Just Found Out with Janus records. Fred Hughes never recorded with Wand nor Janus. Fred Hughes also recorded a couple of minor Billboard hits, Oo Wee Baby I Love You on Vee-Jay 684, and You Can't Take It Away on Vee-Jay 703, both in 1965.
