Early years
Before basketball, Calvin Murphy was a world-class baton twirler. He says he was "bullied into it" as his mother and all six of her sisters were twirlers. As an 8th grader, in 1963, he won a national championship in baton twirling. His reputation as a twirler earned him invitations to perform at major sporting events and the 1964 New York World's Fair. In 1977, at the height of his basketball career in Houston, Murphy won the Texas State Men's Twirling Championship.
He played basketball for Norwalk High School, where he was All-State three times and All-America twice. He is a member of the Connecticut Coaches Association Hall of Fame and a Connecticut Sportswriters Gold Key Award winner. Norwalk High School's address is now 23 Calvin Murphy Rd. in his honor.

I Get It (ft. Starlito)
by: Star MurphyThe hardest thing that I've done
Wasn't meaning that I was wrong
Listen I'm sorry baby
I will take you back if I could
I need you I need you
Listen laying on the couch
Thinking about the way it used to be
I mean to check the gain
I guess I was to blame for my own insecurity
So I'm kicking myself the reason that you left
I'm sorry that I've pushed you away
If I can do it over baby you should know then
I'll never let to be this way
It wasn't worth I thought that it will be
I can't believe what I've put you through
Blaming you when I knew it was me
Don't want to lose everything
Baby I want you to see I mean it I mean it
I don't wanna move on and to know I was wrong
I mean it can you forgive me
I don't wanna lose you baby
I don't wanna lose you baby
I don't wanna lose you baby
I'm sorry I'm sorry I've hurt you baby
I'm sorry I'm sorry I've hurt you baby
I found you yesterday I guess it's been a pain
But I got your voice back
Can you set the fact that you won't take me back
And I can let you walk away
Ain't got no shame in my game
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes
Will you forgive me I'm only human
Everybody makes mistakes worth to fight
I thought it will be
I can't believe that I've put you through this
Blaming you when I knew it was me
I don't want to lose everything
May be I want you to see I mean it I mean it
I don't wanna move on 'cause I know I was wrong
I get it can you forgive me
I don't wanna lose you baby
I don't wanna lose you baby
I don't wanna lose you baby
I sad became for leaving you
And pulling up of seeing you
I think about we have been throught
Still I do not believe it tou
You don't wanna lose me
That sound like act like you
Vow that tells around the corner
You try'in to get back that if
How is it be mad at me they suppose to be
I'm sad lame and I tired of that
Don't be sad be carefull
I guess you're sad but you left it
Sometimes I break without mentioning
Sometimes I wanna meet up
I say a word to unpressure
You know it may lest or it may go
I need it I mean it
I don't wanna move on
'Cause I know I was wrong
I mean it can you forgive me
I don't wanna lose you baby
I don't wanna lose you baby
I don't wanna lose you baby
