What can really be said about Frankie Knuckles. The undisputed godfather of Chicago House, Knuckles was the pioneer of the true original American House movement, and has continued to make amazing tunes for 20 years since. Much of the electronic music I currently enjoy is directly influenced by the template Knuckles created, and his tracks sound just as good today as they must have two decades+ ago, at the warehouse parties where it was all began. For an awesome primer on Knuckles and the disco connection that house grew out of, I highly recommend watching a film entitled Maestro (or reading the extensive writeup on his myspace).
