[@charlieramz3126]

The early 80s, WBMX 102.7 FM, it’s where my love for house began. 40 years later, I still have a set of 1200s in my house that I play with often. The Latin community in Chicago was also very instrumental in helping launch this genre.Thank you to Terry and the OGs of this genre!!!

[@maryjo5512]

What did the Latin community do? My dad was also a DJ prior to that. A very well-known DJ in Chicago. So, please tell me the names and what they did. And do not mention the DJs that started in the mid 80’s and 90’s because house music started before that time. House music is a product of gospel, RnB, etc. It started before disco ended and took off once it did. The birth parents of House are Gospel, RnB,… Afro-American music. Latin musicians injected themselves afterwards. Now that Frankie is gone, people want to come along and change the history but, I lived it and I know. So STOP!!! And Latin music is born from African music.

[@charlieramz3126]

@@maryjo5512 lol. Oh you’re a testy one. FIRST of all let me educate you. We’re talking ‘80s house and the Chicago movement (and beyond). Not gospel, nor any of the genres you mentioned. My comment is purely based on the Latin grasp and contributions to HOUSE in the 80s. Major Latin Chicago DJs at that time: Lugo Rosado, Ralphie Rosario, Sly Fox, Martín Luna, the. Julián Jumpin Pérez whom still plays to this day. You cannot dispute their contributions to the HOUSE community. Yes out African American brothers created the vehicle for this sound (no one is contesting that) but you also cannot deny the Latin influences that became part of the genre. If your Dad was a DJ of any substance here in Chicago I guarantee you that he has played along side some amazing talent, including Latin DJs. Now I’ll go fire up my 1200s and play some Traxx vinyl while enjoying this Saturday morning here. Have a good day.

​@@maryjo5512 OMG MAN in the video Terry Hunter talked about how there was no separation or racism. (AND HERE YOU GO) He is right if WBMX didn't exsist the history of House Music would be totally different. Latin Djs were playing House on the radio. (He didn't say they created it) Think about it The Hot Mix 5 Ralph Rosario Mickey Oliver Kenny Jason Scot Silz Farley Keith(he was the only black man there). You said Latinos came aboard later, yea and that grew it further

He’s telling the truth. In the 80’s there were hundreds to thousands of teenagers at those parties. Playground, Mendel, Academy of our lady, Sauers, music box, Leo, etc…. And no fights. Zero violence. We was different all we wanted to do is dance and dress preppy. It was amazing. The Muzic box was something else. The bass would vibrate through your body.

It wasn’t mentioned but after The Box closed Ron did his thing at COD’s up North and can’t forget The Powerhouse (2210). DISCO FOREVER 💪🏾

Some of the best parties in the 80s. This brought back great memories that the youth today could never understand. We were United In House!

[@joseserrano4596]

I really appreciate how Terry explained how each area from the city had contributed and brought experiences. It wasn’t just the south side. Great job Terry in dispelling the myths. There were countless DJ battles on the north and northwest sides, dance group battles and a culmination of disco, early house and italo disco sounds blasting through speakers on Fullerton Beach.

[@andreaaraujo2911]

I’m 24 years old and a Chicago native. I recently got into house music a couple years ago. I was always curious about the history of it all and this was very insightful. My mom and my uncles tell me stories of growing up in Chicago in the 80s/90s and the music scene. It’s crazy to think how life comes full circle. I now go out and listen to the same music they did. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been to one of DJ Terrys show. I went to a show of his at Smart Bar a while back and had a fun ass time. Danced my butt off.

[@antonioleavell1181]

Loved the Warehouse. I lost my shoe in there and everybody was kicking it around. Imagine drinking and trying to find your shoe in the dark. LOL

[@matthewyates2031]

The years Terry is talking about are the years I wanted so much to make a record. Listening to him speak he and I started around the same time. I remember meeting Lil Louis every Thursday Morning to help him pass out the Diamond Corp Flyers. I remember The Warehouse, and never got to experience AKAs though. I spent lots of Money on the Records as they came out. I just love to hear interviews like this that let me know what was going on behind the scenes when the thirst was so strong to make records. I didn't have family support when it came to music back then, yet I didn't let that stop me I'm fortunate to be releasing music today. So, I thank Terry, and all of the names mentioned in this interview for paving the way for me to do what I love today. Truly an awesome interview.

[@CSdjcdog]

My boy. You've been having my support for years, even back in the day in high school with our friendly competitions.😂

[@terrencetolbert697]

I graduated high school in 83 so my spot back then was the Playground on 13th Michigan. Farley was the main DJ and threw the best parties everywhere back then. The story I always heard was that Frankie Knuckles was djing at somebody’s house and threw on some Philadelphia music at the end of the party that was different. So the next time he did a party some people asked him to play that music he played at that last “house party “ and became known as Frankie’s House Music.

[@kymyilmaz-ndao7501]

I used to go to the Playground located at 1347 S Michigan Ave. Farley Funkin Keith, that was his name back then used to come through and dj, so did Steve Silk Hurley. Some of the best times in my life. My best friend, Lisa, is still my best friend (for about 45 years now) and I would meet up on the Kedzie El platform, she lived on Fulton and went to Westinghouse so she really thought she was all of that. I attended Marshall, the best female basketball team, Lady Commando. Shout out to Ms Dorothy Gators, the best coach ever!! The name of the Playground later changed to the Candy Store. There's three more people I need to mention... Sunny, Jackie & Tyrone. If you were going to the Playground back then you knew who these three were. Jackie went to Marshall also so I knew him from school, these guys were the nicest, coolest guys. If Lisa and I were outside or any female they'd ask why & tell us we should come inside since no one is outside. I miss this place and many that were regulars. They closed at 4am and we had a good time the whole night/time we were there😂❤❤❤❤

Props to TH for the insight. There is much Northside history left out. On the Northside you had the first generation discos: - Coconuts on Sheridan. - Bananas on Broadway. - Foot Loose & Fancy Free - Coconuts on Broadway - AKA - The Rainbo - The Riv - The Aragon - There were gay clubs on Clark Street. Not too familiar. - There were various banquet halls were all ages parties were thrown by Sunset Mobile Disco. - The Uptown Theater was a historic venue where Prince and Rod Stewart performed. These venue were huge pre-house Era.

[@tonycano7814]

I didn't even cover other first generation discos clubs like The Phoenix, Charlie Club, and Century Disco. The first generation DJs Frank LaPomie, Jeff Davis, Murphy Quintero Lou Devito, and so many more.

[@gmo22]

The House DJ's were very competitive as well. I'd see them in Imports Etc. on 711 S Plymouth Court. The Italo Disco, UK, NY, and other imported new tunes could be found. The djs would put blank labels on the records so you couldn't see the name of the record, which made them unique. I also remember something called The DJ Pool. There was this cat named Andre Holman, who was friends with Frankie Knuckles. He used to get new tunes directly from the labels before they hit the stores. I remember around 87, he got this record from I think, Transmat Records. It was like no other I had heard before. It was BANANNAS! That tune was Rhythim Is Rhythim, which is better known as Strings Of Life by Derrick May. The Chicago House Music scene in the 80's was unparalleled!

[@joesmooth226]

[@Docmananoff]

The crazy thing is that there was a House music/Hip Hop civil war going on at that time. Some of us didn’t go to any of those parties, and those who did only attended because the prettier girls were into House and viewed us break dancing, graffiti writing, rappers as “Thugs” (which they didn’t like at the time) but we had marvelous Hip Hop parties back then too at a place called Steppes on Loyola, the Blue Gargoyle around the Hyde Park area (where the college radio station Whpk 88.5fm was located) and several other places. Whpk had the first and best rap radio show in Chicago and the motto was “No House people allowed!” 90% of the well known DJs in Chicago who play rap now was House at first and jumped ship when rap started to gain more popularity, before that we would call the Chicago located record labels shopping rap demos only to be told that “Rap isn’t music and won’t last another 2 years.” by the people at those labels. This was 1987.

You need a second part to this video to complete this story .. I'm from a freestyle group who was on regular radio rotation during Chicago's peak of being House/Freestyle's mecca. Not just limited to mixes, but on regular rotation with everyone else. We performed at the Riv, Kaboom, Alkatrazz, Aragon Ballroom, Pan American Fest, Puerto Rican fest.. and everywhere in between. you should also do interviews with all the hotmix 5 including after that Tim Schommer and from before during that like Julian Perez as they made this underground movement transition into Chicagos mainstream, but you're missing a huge part of this history in Chicago especially when it started getting to its peak with DJ international and Striktly Hype Records and the likes of Dj Trajic by ignoring this entire aspect which cemented this entire movement altogether .. the rabbit hole is hella deep in Chicago which im very well still connected... hit me up if you wanna get deeper in this or not if this is good enough for your channel.

If I may…..Import Records contributed to the term “ HOUSE” follow me. Import records on Plymouth Ct. had a section called “WareHouse Music”. It had all the records played at the ware house because patrons would ask “ do you have this song played at the warehouse”. Now the section has been created within the music industry. And eventually as a result the section became “house”. And now the term “house” is introduced to the music industry as a result of Import Records on Plymouth Ct.

"House" came from the Warehouse in reference to the type of music that Frankie would play there. There wasn't a pigeon holed label for it. As it wasn't quite "Disco" ( and right at that time the term was getting a little dated ) because it consisted of more than disco per se but an almost eclectic mixture of tunes. For instance, Frankie would play a tune like Ian Dury's "Spasticus Autisticus" which is definitely not "Disco" nor anything like a "I Got My Mind Made Up" ( Instant Funk ) which isn't "Disco" either but has more of an underground feel, if you will. But they were both "House" because they were played and the way they were played there. "Parties in homes, mostly in basements were called 'Sets" for which "Pluggers" were written on Index Cards ( and sold for $1 ). But "That's House" was the phrase in reference to the type of music Frankie would play at the Warehouse and later the Power Plant. And this predated the first "House Music" tracks by several years. Interestingly, Frankie himself was unaware of this reference at the time. But the sound at the Warehouse was phenomenal, the walls would sweat and whole building would seem to be moving.
