Word spread late Monday about the death of the pioneering DJ who described himself as a "man of music, citizen of the universe, friend to everyone, enemy to none."

Few figures in contemporary music have influenced their respective fields the way Frankie Knuckles has revolutionized dance music. As one of the most renowned DJs in the world, Frankie Knuckles is still packing dance floors with his unique style for almost 30 years. 

Legions of admirers during his travels penned Frankie's nickname The Godfather of House the press picked up on it and made it stick. He has played a pivotal role in the creation and evolution of house music, which has become the dominant staple of dance clubs throughout the world. It was this celebrity and his constant fundraising for some of his favourite charities dealing with aids, homelessness, and education of our youth, that garnered him one of the most prestigious honours by the City Of Chicago.
