Some years ago, the routine thump of four-four house music made it out of Chicago and into international dance clubs. One of the main engines for house from the start was Frankie Knuckles, widely known as The Godfather of House, who died yesterday at the age of 59. Knuckles (who was actually originally born in The Bronx) moved to Chicago when he was young and set up residence at The Warehouse, the club whose distinct style gave house its name. Theres already a street in Chicago named after him
