I remember the first time I heard this, it was the night Frankie debuted it at the original Sound Factory on 27th, I had been living in NYc for about 6 months, hard town with no sign of much compassion for the fellow human being. Yet on this night the yellow lights washed the crowd which was made up of all walks of life, from ultra rich to ultra poor, black & white and every colour in between of the human race along with all types of beliefs were present under one groove. Suddenly this track hit and I witnessed 2000 instant smiles light up the room with utter bliss, no fighting, no hate, just LOVE and grooveynesss!! Thank you Frankie, R.I.P.!!!!

Peace and love

[@user-xq9qw7nb7s]

私がこの曲を始めて耳にしたのは、まだ20歳の頃でした。 当時の私は、辛くて暗い日々を送っておりました。 田舎に住み、安い給料で働く毎日。 唯一の楽しみが、3か月に1度、職場の友人と車に乗り、約2時間かけて繁華街にある「マハラジャ」というディスコに行って踊る事でした。 「マハラジャ」というディスコは、その名の通りゴージャスで煌めくような空間でした。 インドのムガール建築のような内装に、金色のヤシの木や、黒に金色の模様のチーターの置物が配置され、入場料と交換で頂くマハラジャでしか使えない紙幣。 ダンスフロアには、ミラーボールや照明が当たり、中では楽しそうに素敵なお姉様やお兄様達が踊っている。 そして何よりも、DJブースでは、白いスーツを着たDJ達が、今すぐ踊りたくなるような、ダンスフルでかっこいい曲を選んでかけていました。 お洒落をして、ここで踊っている時間が、私の何よりの至福の時間でした。 ある日、ダンスフルな曲の後、休憩タイムになりました。 皆がタバこを吸ったり、飲み物を飲んだり、食事をしたり、席でくつろいでいました。 ダンスフロアには、沢山の人達のタバコの煙がうっすらと漂い幻想的な雰囲気でした。 すると突然、今まで聴いた事のない、美しい曲がかかりはじめました。 森に夜明けが訪れ、鳥達が囀るような美しい場所。 透き通った水のような心地よいメロディー。 こんな幸せで平和的な曲を私は今まで聴いた事がありません。 すると今度はダンスフロアにスポットライトが何か所か当たりはじめ、それがまるで、雲の隙間から天国の光が差し込むような様子に見えました。 私は、感動で目尻に涙が浮かべました。 何という曲か、DJに聞きたかったのですが、当時の私はとてもシャイで、その曲名を聞く事が出来ませんでした。 それから私は、この曲を探し始めました。 しかし、当時はインターネットもなく、スマートフォンどころか、携帯電話もない時代です。 曲のジャンルも全く分からず、輸入盤レコードショップをまわっても、全く分かりません。 FMラジオを聴いていても、いつもこの曲を探していましたが、一度だけテレビで聴いたのを最後に、知る手がかりすらありませんでした。 それでも、私の心の中には、いつもこの曲のリズムが何処かに流れていました。 それから約30年。 コロナが流行りはじめ、私はKZbin musicを聴くようになりました。 自分の好きなジャンルの曲を次々と提供してくれるので、お気に入りの曲も増えました。 するとある日、突然心がギューっとなるが分かりました。 手が止まり、私の耳はステレオに釘付けになりました。 この曲、このメロディー… 私の目からは涙が自然にこぼれ、 「この曲よ!ずっと探していたんよ!この曲がかかるなんて!」 そして、この曲のタイトルが「The Whistle Song」だと知りました。 Frankie Knucklesさんがこの曲を作ったという事も。 そして、既にお亡くなりになられているという事も。 私は何度もこの曲を流し、そして泣きました。 30年前と変わらず、平和的で幸せな曲。 私は、生涯この曲を愛し続ける事でしょう。 そして今、私はとても幸せな日々を送っています。 愛する家族と、美しい庭のある家に住み、何も恐れる事のない日々。 この曲は、暗雲立ち込める不安な日々に苦しんでいる人々を、これからも救い続け、これからも雲の隙間から、美しく明るい日差しを照らしてくれる事でしょう。 ありがとう。 Frankie Knuckles

Woke up 2 this masterpiece.Starting my day with luv n brightness,May i continue with my journey that there is much to be done-_-Bless to those who grow in progress and self awareness,SKY IS THE LIMIT

[@crh7742]

Have a great memory of hearing Frankie open his set with this at a big beach party in Dubai a year or two before he died. I was so happy to see him play live for the first time. Sadly the idiotic promoters put him on first. This legend of a man was basically a warm up for acts that weren't fit to grace the same stage as him. I guess that's Dubai for you. Totally clueless about the history of house and the people who shaped it. House music isn't the same without him but he left us some great tunes.

[@marshawoodham7461]

One of the first dates with my boyfriend, and 31 yrs later and married we still jam to it

[@terrijdavis1953]

Soooo many good memories, friends gone and still here. Catch, The Basement, Warehouse, Area, Limelight. It just makes my heart happy!🎉❤

[@okolopierre4514]

There is NO other song on earth that transcends time, race, age, gender, sexuality, and social status like this. Its a tune for every man and it takes you instantly to a better place

[@GrubbySalad]

There are many you just need to dig deeper (:

[@garydavison7220]

[@jasonfoxley2970]

Lets hope so

[@smileyladyT]

It sounds similar to Paul Castle songs, ✨beautiful the music speaks for itself ✌🏽

[@davcan18]

Being pedantic but you say the song transcends gender then go on to say it is a song for every MAN. Just a bit contradictory that's all.

[@HliasStergiou]

Tears to my eyes, miss you Frankie, we are so blessed to have your legacy's still here with us. Turn it up "Up there and show them what real music is."

[@davidbarnes1113]

Oh how I remember dancing to this at the gay clubs in DC back in my 20’s! Great memories, some sad as most of my friends are all gone now. 🥺

I know my 2 little ones will grow up to this and re-live my life for me lol. Peace! Frankie K. Rest Well, bro. Your spirit is eternal.

[@rsmith7912]

I was on holiday in New York from London when this was out & The Sound Factory was THE club to go to. An amazing space, the sound system was incredible & the music was totally brilliant of course with Frankie Knuckles on the decks. I'm so glad I experienced dancing to this there. So many classics from that era. Great memories!

[@steviesoprano]

my mom and I listened to this song last night and both fell in love with the song. Such a tune.

[@danzena4059]

Too many good memories with this song as a kid. I'm only 27 but I remember watching my folks get down to house music and I certainly remember going bonkers when I heard this song as a tike. This song brings me back to the good'ol days when I used to be in the L.E.S and watch my folks and their friends groove to Frankie Knuckles during the summer nights in the street or during the winter in a crowded living room floor.

[@awildasantiago913]

What a Masterpiece. Best music ever late 80 early 90. S. I. P Frankie Knuckles . Dance Dance. Bought Tears to my eyes. Walking down memory Lane. House Music. What a Legend

[@sammyspero3648]

[@hermanfigueroa5042]

Ahhhhh, the memories this song brings, Summer Days back in the early 90s at the block party's

[@NextFantasyRiDe]

Man what a gem. Frankie Knuckles will not be forgotten for the imprint he left on this earth is to great to ignore. The godfather of house lives on forever.

[@grannygirl61812]

I played this song 21 times for those in Uvalde. It was a song I have had for along time! I have played this song too many times for the spirits who have left. So now now here we go again! I can only imagine those spirits dancing freeee!
