Frankie Knuckles, the producer known as The “Godfather of House," died on Monday at age 59.
Knuckles official cause of death has yet to be revealed, however it's been suggested that his passing had to do with complications from Type II Diabetes.
After moving from Chicago to the Bronx in the 70s, Knuckles began spinning at The Warehouse. At this Chicago hot spot is where “house” music – a derivative of the venue's name – took shape. Knuckles later brought the genre with him to his own venue, The Power Plant, in 1983.
Knuckles continued to be a in-demand DJ, and went on to become an esteemed producer and remixer, forming Def Mix Productions with David Morales. Among the artists he worked with were Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan and Toni Braxton.
