My Tribute To Frankie Knuckles

I discovered Frankie Knuckles through his music, one that was, gentle, lush with a subdued, understated power that rocked many a dancefloor. I had the privilege to hear him once in the heyday of his

Perhaps the best version of Dirty Old Town. And an anthem that epitomises any working-class city or town. I definitely resonate with. A classic 💚

Frankie Knuckles/Satoshi Tomie with Robert Owens

It's Saturday, so let's get dancing with the godfather of house, Frankie, and the voice of house, Robert Owens. I once had a party with Robert. He was excellent company and had time for everyone 💚

This song has to be one of the biggest dance floor fillers ever. When I worked in pubs and clubs the place would go crazy when this would come on. lyrics are quite serious but people would be singing their hearts out to this with their pals in unison and joy. And it impacted all generations.Timeless

The Go-Betweens - Streets of Your Town

This great record has come on at a few house parties with my friends over the years. I think the song is about the love/hate of your town. It's very dreamy. Wonderful song

Badenoch studied computer systems engineering. That may well have been her passion as it is for some. But I'd wager very good money she did it for considerably more.
