The college I went to in the 80s was in the middle of nowhere, (MO) but that college recruited heavily from Chicago and those kids brought with them mixtapes of WBMX and other stations and thus began my education into "house" music and a dance called "jack your body". As a music major Chicago house and Detroit techno to this day remain my strongest influences. Thank you Frankie Knuckles.
I went to college on the East coast and like your college MAJOR peeps came from the CHI-TOWN area and I made some visits to CHI-TOWN in the 80's and 90's with some of my college mates, talk about LUCKY !!!!!!! Was in the HOUSE before the beginning ....... I'm just that old & lucky
Am from san salvador I grew up in the big apple I when to school at the bronx, j. F. K. H. S. & theres was a bunch of guy from school special on friday we use Togo to the garage & we Jam all nite long the following Day, we crach at the loft thats where we have a great time always the dance things save us the night talking about lates 79'. 34:06
R.I.P. To a Chicago Legend!!! I grew up in the 80's listening to these mixes on the weekend. Now that I'm in my 40's I can truly say I get as much enjoyment listening to this music now than as I did back then. Thank you for the memories!
FRANKIE YOUR SMILE, YOUR KINDNESS, YOUR GIFT IT MOVED ME FROM THE MOMENT I MET YOU, AND WILL STAY WITH ME UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN..... I LOVE YOU FRANKIE..... WHISTLE IN PARADISE MY FRIEND. #frankieknuckles
I recorded and listened to this mix live in my bedroom on the southside of Chicago. This was during the times when you could go to any neighborhood on the southside of Chicago during the weekend and it would be at least one basement party going on with hundreds of kids there partying to House Music and that's where you heard some of the best dj's with skills besides the same names you always hear about. My Chicago heads know what I'm talking about. Memories!!!!
This was my freshman year at Whitney M. Young H.S. I was still feeling my way through House Music. It was WBMX and Frankie Knuckles that helped show me the way. I still remember sneaking down to the Music Box on 21st and Michigan to listen to music. I am a House Head 4 Life!!!
Being able to sit down & hear good music with good friends has turned into life changing experience for a lot of folks including myself & this brother put it down on wax for such a long time that it seems unreal now that he's gone. We've lost some DJ's in the past but this one hit us in the DJ community very hard because when this brother was spinning live or you were listing to a replay of one in his sets he always made you fill as if you were there with flawless blends of beats & rythems, he was able to take you some place else & put your mind at ease. He can rest peacefully knowing he made it possible for a lot of people from the "Hood" or inner city to be able to travel the world & see places or people they didn't know existed because of his music.
Track List 1. Sister Sledge - Lost in Music (Frankie Knuckles edit) 2. House People - Godfather of House music (club mix 2) 3. Fingers Inc - Bring down the walls (Robert Owens) 4. Sleezy D. - I've Lost Control 5. unknown (help anybody?) 6. Sweet D - Turn it (based on i cant turn around - i hayes) 7. Farley "Jackmaster" Funk & Jessie Saunders - Love Can't Turn Around. (also based on i cant turn around - i hayes) 8. Raww - Don't You Try It 9. Goody Goody - It Looks Like Love (1978) 10. Mario Reyes - Whatever Turns You On 11. Marshall Jefferson - move your body (also based on i cant turn around - i hayes) 12. raz - Amour Puetro Riqueno (Puerto Rican Lover) 13. Debarge - you wear it well
love this guy the legend dj who had been going since the 70's frankie knuckles always loved his solid groove jams. just so special and he still does it now he is real magic master. killer radio mixtape here, live on wbmx radio 31st october 1986. i was 6 months old here wow. this is magic. i love it.
He set the pace here, and im sure His energy will set the pace wherever it may land. Keep spreading the word, especially to younglings in this current world, and remind them how sound has been shaped. Much love, Francis, thank you for all the magic

Oh. My. God. This was the year I listened to BMX all day every day. I wish I had recorded some of their audio from the week of Christmas, 1986, because it was excellent.
If I didn't have a maxell or Sony, I would take 1of my Moms tapes &stuff the tissue in the 2 squares at the top so I could record!!!! I also had the Walgreens TONEMASTERS!!!!! Chi Town Stand Up!!!!!!
Headphones in the radio with all the lights turned off in whatever room you in... Except now I'm using myphonefeeling the same way I did in 86... The heavens are banging and my mom is getting here dance on and grandma can't tell her to "turn that ahhh down!" LOL!
WHAT AN EPIC MIX. I can just imagine staying up and taping this like I used to in 1992 at 14 lol. What is the last track @ 40:00, what a hot track. And at 20:00. You legend Frankie , fly free.
40:00 is "Move Your Body"/House Music Anthem" by Marshall Jefferson (although he didn't sing it was another dude, forgot his name) and J.M Silk "Love Can't Turn Around" (though Isaac Hayes did the original version back in the 70s)
Disrespect Noted.I remember back in '83 standing in the Warehouse on........ was it on, Clinton or Jefferson then? Big in House Frankie is then and now, then by 85 you couldn't find room on the dance floor. Where were you?
