American documentary series Unsung premiered an episode profiling Frankie Knuckles and the birth of house music. It’s a story most of us will be familiar with, but the opportunity to enjoy interviews with Marshall Jefferson, Jamie Principle, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Jesse Saunders and Steve Silk Hurley – as well as archive footage of Frankie Knuckles in conversation – is too good to pass by.Tracing the story from the death of disco to the establishment of the Warehouse and the boom of Trax records, the episode also profiles the making of some of the biggest tracks in house music history, from “Your Love” to “Move Your Body.” Less than three years after Knuckles’ death, this is a golden opportunity to celebrate the man, and the world he helped create.The film features interviews with many prominent members of the early scene, including Jesse Saunders, Steve Silk Hurley, Farley Jackmaster Funk and Frankie Knuckles among others. Well worth a watch.(c) Thump
