Hues Corporation, The

Formed 1969 in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
Wally Holmes, the man who founded the Hues Corporation, originally had a different name in mind for the black trio. "I wanted to call the group the Children Of Howard Hughes, because I knew Hughes was single and he represented a conservative element. I was kind of wild in those days and I thought a fantastic thing would be to take a black group and call them the Children Of Howard Hughes." But Holmes ran into a legal wall and was unable to incorporate Hughes' name into the group. That's when he came up with Hues Corporation.

The band consisted of Hubert Ann Kelley, Bernard "St. Clair" Lee and Fleming Williams.
