I was struck by the sad news that "The Godfather of House"; Frankie Knuckles died. It is a true lost as he was one of the most talented and most influential musicians and DJs of electronic music. He were and will always be a great source of inspiration to me.

59 is too young.  At first I thought this was about Frankie Bones (NY DJ - brother of Adam X - both of whom I've met out in Los Angeles).  Interestingly enough, I don't think I ever realized that Frankie Knuckles and Frankie Bones were two different people! 

Very sad. Some of those early house records are the business.
