Thanks to my father I grew up in a family that was surrounded with music. There was not one day that the big stereo and large speakers were silent. All the rock, pop, and jazz greats filled our living room on a daily basis. Coming home from school you could hear the music already. Growing up with this large menu of music opened up my mind for so much more music styles. I never forget the day I discovered the music of the great Mr. Franky Knuckles. I had to go overseas to New York on a business trip. A few colleagues of our New York office invited me to a House session and there he was, the great Mr. Franky Knuckles. From the moment I experienced the music, mixes and style of music I was hooked for life. To this day I listen to his music, his beautiful songs and boiler room mixes. When I drive to work, when I exercise, when I'm on my bicycle or just relaxing at home with a nice glass of wine. The music of Franky Knuckles is there. And now, I have a family of my own. The same as I grew up, our house is filled with music every day. To see my daughter enjoying rock, pop, jazz and house music as much as I do assures me that the world is a better place with music.

[@andrewhutchins2750]

Thanks Mr. Eggleston, you bagged that sentiment completely. The Boiler Room London set is magical, and the man wanted tea afterwards ! Us house fans in London will be back dancing to this stuff very soon. Frankie made a world dance, smile and happy - if that isnt a dream job, then what would be ?! Best from us in London

[@andrewhutchins2750]

Legends like Mr. Nicholls are not forgotten easily; by those who know, love and care. How many pairs of feet can you make tap to this wonderful stuff ? Millions probably.. Would love to know more of FK's early stuff, when he was learning from Larry Levan and others. Someone on here posted a cryptic comment about FK/FH's personal record collection in Chicago. As a House fan of 30 years' standing, that would be a potential pilgrimage to know the man's thought process. This stuff helps me be a better person and alleviates stupid things in life.. Take care all. Night. Peace.

Amen to that, Andres. From our FCB supporters in South London, Frankie made a big difference to many people. Still does and will do for a long time.

Keeps us dancing here and I think we need a new carpet and rug ! Night.

Thank you for posting yet another classic , Lucas. . First heard this on FK's Boiler Room London set when we were testing the train Wi-Fi in France in 2017. This man is never going to be forgotten, as his legacy is somewhat special. How many people do we know who can make millions brighter in their outlook, make kids dance with parents and generally keep people smiley & positive when things may be a bit difficult? We love you and your masterpieces. RIP, The Master. Would love to see you making a collaboration with John Barry, Luther & Aretha on vocals. Love is the answer. Peace. Night. Be safe and warm.
