The one that started it all...

That put a grin on my face

I discovered him(Marshall Jefferson) through a compilation titled "The Original Chicago House Classics". Like your typical arrogant New Yorker, I thought "house music" came from us turned out that it was from the Windy City after all.

I once knew a colleague from Detroit and she had no clue what Housemusic was....nor did she know that it was from Chicago. She also thought that R.Kelly was a misunderstood genius and that Housemusic is any kind of party music that you play in the house.

For the record House was from Chicago, Cats like Ron Hardy , Larry Heard,Adonis, Marshall, Knuckles, Kenny "Jammin" Jason, The Hot Mix 5 crew. All Godfathers of House. Cant forget Steve "Silk" Hurley, Chip E, Sterling Void,Virgo,Robert Owens,

Chicago in the HOUSE...........4 real.

Still rock that stuff on a regular basis.

Traxx was no joke.

I was mixing House Music Back in NY back when people didn't know what house was. Not saying i was the 1st. But It was just one of the early foundations of house.

YES!!! I remember having to shift the TV antennas around like CRAZY.

Oh man...most teens don't even KNOW what UHF & VHF was.

Damn I'm old.

I have known ppl from New Jersey to also stake that claim. Not sure what I believe though. (whispers: I think Chicago)
