- Details
- Genre: Rhythm & Blues
- Description: UK collection. This is the first album of Mickey Stevenson's Venture material. 'Funky Way' was the tag's first and a hit in 1967, despite limited airplay due to having the word InchfunkyInch in the title. It went on to become an early funk classic, covered by Rufus Thomas for Stax, Tommy Strand for Fame, Jimmy Bee for Kent, Ray Johnson and others. Though mainly recorded in Los Angeles, Calvin Arnold was a southern soul singer from Atlanta, Georgia and the material is in that vein - there are Mighty Hannibal produced tracks, recorded in Atlanta.
