Frankie Knuckles made house music. The sound he created, named after the Chicago club, The Warehouse, where he played during the late '70s and early '80s, was copied by literally thousands of DJ's and producers over the next 40 years.
DJ Frankie Knuckles, who died Monday at 59, is remembered as a legendary producer, remixer and house music pioneer.
The Grammy-winning Knuckles combined "elements of disco, electronic sound, soul and synth into a new genre that earned him the title 'Godfather of House Music,'" Recording Academy President Neil Portnow said.
