{"id":1465851183203,"title":"#164 FRANKIE KNUCKLES BABY WANTS TO RIDE \/ YOUR LOVE","handle":"frankie-knuckles-baby-wants-to-ride-your-love-get-759","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy the time the Jungle Brothers rapped about it in 1988, House Music had been bumping in NYC Clubs for years. Even though the genre would go on to become a global phenomenon, House music had humble beginnings in predominantly gay and black clubs in Chicago. Musically, House Music was inspired by the eclectic dance records played by DJs Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy at Clubs like “The Warehouse” and “Muzik Box”. With a growing club scene, labels like Trax Records and DJ International played a major role in the development of the genre. Founded in 1984, Trax was an important outlet for house music in its early days, releasing many classics including \"No Way Back\" by Adonis, Larry Heard's \"Can You Feel It,\" and the first so-called house anthem in 1986, \"Move Your Body\" by Marshall Jefferson. This latter tune gave a massive boost to house music, extending recognition of the genre outside of Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Story behind the making of these recordings, is quite peculiar. “Your Love” was written Jamie Principle, young Chicago Native with a strict religious family who grew up listening to the likes of pop, gospel, classic and RnB. A talented musician, Principle could play the clarinet and keyboards as well as drums for his local church. His first major relationship with a lady named Lisa Harris inspired him to write ‘Your Love’ and experiment with home recordings. Although his Demo tape was turned down by every New York label that received it, his tape somehow spread like wildfire throughout the clubs of Chicago. Jamie himself never became aware of its popularity due to his strict upbringing and parental ban from nightclubs. Because of its local popularity, the first commercial release of “Your Love” was produced by Mark \"Hot Rod\" Trollan and pressed as a 12\" single on Persona Records in 1986. The final - and ultimately definitive - version was released the next year on Trax Records produced by Frankie Knuckles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair recorded a number of hits together —including \"Waiting on My Angel,\" \"Baby Wants to Ride,\" and \"Bad Boy\". The songs recorded by Principle and Knuckles summed up the lifestyle and feelings found inside the clubs at the time: “romantic possibility, escape, a little bit of danger, a lot of abandon, racial and sexual diversity, and even political liberation. Principle was particularly interested in\u003cbr\u003ethe latter, with lyrics about the Reagan agenda and queer rights.

Even though the genre would go on to become a global phenomenon, House music had humble beginnings in predominantly gay and black clubs in Chicago. Musically, House Music was inspired by the eclectic dance records played by DJs Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy at Clubs like “The Warehouse” and “Muzik Box”. With a growing club scene, labels like Trax Records and DJ International played a major role in the development of the genre. Founded in 1984, Trax was an important outlet for house music in its early days, releasing many classics including \"No Way Back\" by Adonis, Larry Heard's \"Can You Feel It,\" and the first so-called house anthem in 1986, \"Move Your Body\" by Marshall Jefferson. This latter tune gave a massive boost to house music, extending recognition of the genre outside of Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Story behind the making of these recordings, is quite peculiar. “Your Love” was written Jamie Principle, young Chicago Native with a strict religious family who grew up listening to the likes of pop, gospel, classic and RnB. A talented musician, Principle could play the clarinet and keyboards as well as drums for his local church. His first major relationship with a lady named Lisa Harris inspired him to write ‘Your Love’ and experiment with home recordings. Although his Demo tape was turned down by every New York label that received it, his tape somehow spread like wildfire throughout the clubs of Chicago. Jamie himself never became aware of its popularity due to his strict upbringing and parental ban from nightclubs. Because of its local popularity, the first commercial release of “Your Love” was produced by Mark \"Hot Rod\" Trollan and pressed as a 12\" single on Persona Records in 1986. The final - and ultimately definitive - version was released the next year on Trax Records produced by Frankie Knuckles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair recorded a number of hits together —including \"Waiting on My Angel,\" \"Baby Wants to Ride,\" and \"Bad Boy\". The songs recorded by Principle and Knuckles summed up the lifestyle and feelings found inside the clubs at the time: “romantic possibility, escape, a little bit of danger, a lot of abandon, racial and sexual diversity, and even political liberation. Principle was particularly interested in\u003cbr\u003ethe latter, with lyrics about the Reagan agenda and queer rights.

Fully licensed and issued with the blessing of Specific Records, this essential piece of New York City music history has been re-mastered especially for this loud and DJ-friendly pressing, and comes in a unique throwback Specific Records company sleeve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-10-29T16:37:04-04:00","created_at":"2020-10-29T16:37:02-04:00","vendor":"Fraternity","type":"45's - 7inches","tags":["\u0026 Friends","45","45's","45friday","45s7inch","7inch","Hip Hop 45","It'sYourRock","limited edition","Re Issue 45","The Fantasy Three"],"price":1300,"price_min":1300,"price_max":1300,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":33243547664483,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"#248 It's Your Rock - The Fantasy Three","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1300,"weight":60,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":21,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/5143\/products\/image_48d53470-c9d6-4401-80f6-1c4d80078e8f.jpg?v=1604003826","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/5143\/products\/image_12188211-005c-4a37-8c4d-97c1f6083d9b.jpg?v=1604003826"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/5143\/products\/image_48d53470-c9d6-4401-80f6-1c4d80078e8f.jpg?v=1604003826","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":8515412197475,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"width":600,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/5143\/products\/image_48d53470-c9d6-4401-80f6-1c4d80078e8f.jpg?v=1604003826"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/5143\/products\/image_48d53470-c9d6-4401-80f6-1c4d80078e8f.jpg?v=1604003826","width":600},{"alt":null,"id":8515412230243,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"width":600,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/5143\/products\/image_12188211-005c-4a37-8c4d-97c1f6083d9b.jpg?v=1604003826"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/5143\/products\/image_12188211-005c-4a37-8c4d-97c1f6083d9b.jpg?v=1604003826","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"It's Your Rock The Fantasy Three\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/WPv1C0OJQf0\"\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/WPv1C0OJQf0\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFraternity Music Group’s 1st Time On 7” Series continues with one of the hardest tracks ever put to wax in the early hip-hop era. “It’s Your Rock” was the first of only three records put out by the Fantasy Three, a Harlem trio consisting of Charlie Rock, Larry B and Silver Fox, and has been revered for both its slick rhymes and a massive B-side dub.
