Frankie Knuckles Way

Frankie Knuckles, the godfather of house, is getting a street named after him. He’s the first DJ ever to be honoured in that “way”. :P Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley has also proclaimed Wednesday 25th August 2004 as “Frankie Knuckles Day”. There will be a cermony that day taking place outside the legendary Warehouse club, where Frankie started playing more than 20 years ago. The cermony will include the renaming of Jefferson Street to “Frankie Knuckles Way”. Let’s celebrate by shaking it a little to the house smash hit of 2004, Shape Shifters “Lola’s Theme”!
