I realize that commenting for this post has long passed, but WOW paul! I did not know that Frankie Knuckles had passed, and in 2014. I have always enjoyed his contribution to House music, and have Playlists for his mixes and singles in my Spotify account.

An all time classic. Club mix is amazing. Funny but after all these years. I am reminded of Yazoo here , what a great tune!

cheers
Hey Paul
Something new! Thanks for sharing.

You’re welcome Kent 🙂
Although I know Frankie Knuckles, this was entirely new to me Paul. There is such a vibe here and it’s extremely hypnotizing. I can only imagine this in a huge club on a phenomenal sound system. This puts me in a trance and I feel like I could astral project myself to another dimension. This is majestic and magnificent. I’m enjoying this trip!!

Always loved this track and it’s a killer floor filler. Love Jamie’s giggle too 🙂
Wow! Thank you so much for this. I’ve got goosebumps listening to the Club Mix right now (I’d always assumed that the version on his 1988 Special 4 Track EP was the original. How wrong I was!). One of the very best house tracks ever.
I agree Dolphin Brother one of the best 🙂
Hi Paul, What an incredible treasure you have given us today, I am very happy for this sound jewel, many thanks, very grateful, I love this 12″.
Regards, Have a nice day!
