House music was started in the trenches of urban America and is by far the most popular genre of music today.
For many who are aware of the American urban dance culture, House is a name that's synonymous with a deep passion. It is one of the premiere underground music genres found in 1977 as an extension of the dance hall culture of the late 1960s and 1970s. DJs help spread House music like wildfire in Chicago and New York and expanding into Detroit, Philly and New Jersey well into the 1980s and 1990s.
House was unique as it gave a hand in bringing together LGBT communities of all ethnicities. It also came as a fresh breath of air for fans of African, Latino and Caribbean music styles.
This book is an inspiring journey of historical music references back to the births of House Music beginning with the originators; Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan, LLRoy, Phuture, and Larry Heard. Their influences grew its culture to a variety of legendary artists in different music genres such as Kym Mazelle, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Masters of Work, Cece Peniston, Louie Vega, Todd Terry and many more to this day.
