Calvin Arnold’s Funky Way Re-done by Nora Noor
Calvin wrote and recorded this song back in 1968 on Venture Records right after he left Motown Records. After Calvin had a hit with it, Rufus Thomas and Ray Johnson also did a cover version. Calvin had a string of hits while in Atlanta with the team of Barney Conway, producer/engineer and Tommy Stewart, producer/arranger. The three guys made a great team with a long list of Billboard Top 100 records.
It's a new era now with Norwegian, Nora Noor, wailing away with a woman's version of this song. It's doing great. Congratulations to long-time friend, Calvin Arnold. This is just proof that a great song will never die! If you want ot hear Nora Noor's version of the song, click the link below.
