Frankie Knuckles (1955–2014)

An award-winning record producer, remixer, and DJ called the “Godfather of House Music,” Knuckles became famous nationally through his work at the famous Chicago dance club Warehouse, where he kept the gay clientele dancing to all hours of the night. Starting there in 1977, he soon developed a style and musical vocabulary all his own. Knuckles began incorporating a drum machine into his work, sampling from a myriad of sources and remixing songs to make them more danceable. As the house movement started to grow, he became one of the most sought-after DJs in the country. Knuckles won a Grammy for Remixer of the Year in 1997 and was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame in 2005.
