HAHA! I'm not sure what entertained me more, the fact that the subject of our non-work related emails have now become topic for the entire world or your pseudonym!

So considering Marshall Jefferson launched Frankie Knuckles' career, doesn't that make Frankie Knuckles the 'Godson' of house music Mr. Rowland?

HAHAHA! A beautiful quip Dr Winkle - I shall be making comment on this in my next post which will attempt to explain my version of the evolution of House music.

Fresh!

OK – I’ve decided to do it like this. In order to deliver an accurate account of ‘how House happened’ I’m going to go through it step by step for two reasons; the first being I simply do not have the time nor facilities to write the story in one go and the second relating to the first in that if I did it in one go, it would be too long for a casual read. So the best option and compromise is for me to break it into to small slices – with a view to gradually unfold the real story of how house came to be, who started it, who influenced it and most importantly, how.

Any comments, clarifications or queries are most welcome at any stage in the proceedings.

With the formalities out of the way – let’s start by introducing Frankie – The Godfather of House.

Frankie Knuckles learned his DJing craft at New York’s Continental Baths becoming the clubs main DJ when the late, legendary DJ Larry Levan left in 1974. Knuckles controlled the music until the Bath’s closed, bankrupt in 1976.

Around this time, Levan was contacted by The Warehouse in Chicago. A warehouse party which had built itself a following and offered him a residency. Since Levan had other projects in his mind, The Paradise Garage and was busy cultivating it’s forerunner, Reade Street – he declined. In his place he recommended Frankie and told his friend it would be a great opportunity.

In March 1977, Knuckles went to play for the opening night and also the following week. Both nights went well and he decided he liked Chicago. He was offered a permanent job; the terms included a financial interest in the club.

His club would lend it’s name to a new genre of music; he would become known as it’s godfather. The music was house.

Next up: The meaning of House.

Mr. Hush, history of house guru, thank you very much indeed squire - I stand corrected.

Please see my latest blog titled "The History of House Music", a story which I beleive may have originally been written by Phil Cheeseman for DJ Magazine.

'In the beginning there was Jack, and Jack had a groove, and from this groove came the groove of all grooves, and while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldly declared, Let there be house!'

So booms 'My House' by Rhythm Control.

For a long time the word 'house' referred not to a particular style of music so much as to an attitude. If a song was 'house' it was music from a cool club, it was underground, it was something you'd never hear on the radio. In Chicago, the right club would be 'house' and if you went there, you'd be house and so would your friends. Walking down Michigan Avenue you would be able to tell who was house wasn't by what they were wearing. If their tape player was rocking The Gap Band, they were definetly not house, but if it was playing Loleatta Holloway or (surprisingly enough) the Eurythmics, they were, and you'd probably go and talk to them.

One day soon, Chicago kids would invent a stark new kind of dance music and because of where this came from and because of where it was played it would steal the name for itself. But for several years, house was a feeling, a rebellious musical taste, a way of declaring yourself in the know. Certainly the word house was used long before people started making what we would now call House music.

Chip E, an early house producer claims that the name came about from his methods of labelling records at his Imports Etc record store. (His customers would come in asking for the old Salsoul records Frankie Knuckles was playing at the Warehouse - labelled the rack 'Warehouse music' which eventually - in sync with the house buzz word got abbreiviated to House music.

This meaning makes it appropiate but it is not where the word originated. The word 'house' as in this instance Dr Winkle and I are discussing came from the Warehouse, referring to the music played there, the manipulations which Frankie introduced and the the underground vibe the club engendered.

Next up: Frankie Knuckles @ The Warehouse. The birthplace of House music.
