Sad to hear one of the fathers of house has died due to complications with diabetes, Frankie Knuckles.
It’s funny, most of the tracks people know are mainly Jamie’s jams, hence here is Your Love which also became part of one of the most successful bootlegs ever, The Source’s ‘You Got The Love’. Never totally sure if Frankie was on the desk, synth or what with these, but it didn’t matter, his touch or taste was legendary. Baby Wants To Ride, Whistle Song, Tears and one of my other faves, I’ll Take You There as Director’s Cut (him with Eric Kupper), re-uniting him with Jamie Principle:
Hoping this is some spoof or fake, and he’s alive and well, but it seems to check out. 🙁 The Chicago or Detroit house community seems quite small so there isn’t some major direct news line, it is just personal Facebook and label blogs. That’s how everyone found out about Manny ‘Nitro Deluxe’ Scretching Jr. for instance.
