Remixer Legend, FRANKIE KNUCKLES, 'Godfather of House Music' Celebrated

Freddie Knuckles/see photo credit
Today, I found out in THE GUARDIAN that FRANKIE KNUCKLES, " the Godfather of House Music." is being celebrated in Chicago. What is 'House Music' I wondered? Isn't the Guardian in UK? What's this ALL about?...Anyway? I've never even heard of a Mr. Knuckles.
Well, I was about to know alot more about all of this. It seems that Freddie Knuckles died a year ago. Lotsa famous musicians knew of him AND deprended on him,  folks like DIANA ROSS, CHAKA KHAN and MICHAEL JACKSON...you know, some well known musicians..Knuckles was a DJ and record producer WIKIPEDIA states, [link above] and " one of the most sought-after remixers in club music." the story in the Guardian said. Read more about Frankie Knuckles HERE, another story, also from THE GUARDIAN.
Sounds like he was quite a talented and  'out of the box' kind of thinker when it came to remixing different types of music. He is geatly missed in Chicago and all over the world, won a GRAMMY, and was put into THE DANCE MUSIC HALL OF FAME and HERE in 2008. WOW. Jan
Read more HERE, about his death last year from THE ROLLING STONE.
