Finally after 21 years, the Godfather of House music is finally rewarded for his contribution to the city. Read on to find out What honor Frankie Knuckles will receive on August 25.2004
Today is Officially Frankie Knuckles Day in Chicago (August 25.2004)
Frankie Knuckles has finally been given credit for all his work that he has done for Chicago. If you are not familiar with Frankie Kunckles, he was the one that put house on the map. He was originally a protégé of Larry Levan in New York and when Levan declined an offer to be the resident at a club in Chicago, he suggested Knuckles. So Knuckles took the offer at the "Warehouse", which is where house took its name, he played there from 1977 to 1983 and during that time, Knuckles played every weekend, and he actually lived in a loft in the warehouse. Finally twenty one years later, in 2004, the Mayor of Chicago decided to reward Knuckles for his service to the windy city. So today, Knuckles will have a street named after him, there will be a small gathering and he will play a set in the evening, after being recognized at a press conference. Congrats to the Godfather of House on this honor, having a day recognized by a city and a street renamed in your honor is certainly an excellent thing for a deejay, and it is certainly new territory for those in electronic music. Enjoy your day Frankie because you earned it.
