R.I.P. - FRANKIE KNUCKLES

One of the most famous dj´s and producer in HOUSE music, the legendary FRANKIE KNUCKLES past away on March 31. 

He played an important role in developing and popularizing house music in Chicago during the 1980s when the genre was in its infancy. In 2005, Knuckles was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame for his achievements. Due to his importance in the development of the genre, Knuckles was often known as "The Godfather of House Music", and as such the city of Chicago named a stretch of street and a day after Knuckles in 2004. 

One of the most famous songs from him is "YOUR LOVE" 

This is a lot of his classic DJ mixes, I wonder where this kind of housemusic is today, this is in my opinion REAL HOUSEMUSIC.
