👏🏿#ArtIsAWeapon Good for them!! #HouseMusic originators #LarryHeard (a.k.a. #MrFingers) & @this_is_robert_owens have won their lawsuit against #TraxRecords, according to @guardian. It's a bittersweet victory on #FrankieKnucklesDay, which honors and celebrates another House music legend #FrankieKnuckles. (Excerpts from August 25, 2022 "The Guardian") ‘It gives me peace’: house legends Larry Heard and Robert Owens on winning their Trax legal battle... A successful copyright action against their former label means the celebrated producers can reclaim their back catalogue after decades of struggle... For the past two years, Heard and Owens have been plaintiffs in a civil suit against Trax Records, house’s equivalent to Stax or Motown and their former label. But the fight goes back decades. Heard and Owens are among house’s most celebrated figures – as #songwriters, #DJs, #vocalists and #producers, and collaboratively as Fingers Inc, alongside Ron Wilson. Heard, who started as a jazz-funk drummer, is known as the godfather of deep house, which led to him being sampled by Kanye West and working with Dua Lipa. Owens’ tracks are among house’s most beloved; they include I’ll Be Your Friend and Tears, a collaboration with Frankie Knuckles. In the 2000s, he worked with the UK dance duo Coldcut on Walk a Mile in My Shoes. Sadly, though, their careers have been stunted, and made infamous, by Trax... At its core, the lawsuit argued that despite the label generating “millions of dollars in income stemming from their exploitation of the compositions and recordings”, neither Heard nor Owens had ever been paid a cent – so they sued, for copyright infringement.

This is a weekend where we remember Frankie Knuckles because it is his birthday and in Chicago we celebrate our greats. Whether you know him as the godfather of house or the architect of house or the maestro, he was one of a kind; a gentle giant...class personified. Whether being asked to play or speak before, for, or about him, it's been my honor. I always will remember and give respect to the one we knew as Frankie. #frankieknuckles #fkalways #fkf #frankieknucklesfoundation #housemusic #househistory #MOVE! #chicagointernationalhousemusicfestival #wgnradio #cantv https://wgnradio.com/2015/01/18/frankie-knuckles-and-chicagos-house-music-legacy/ https://cantv.org/watch-now/the-legacy-of-frankie-knuckles-and-chicago-house/ (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsy0d18nHVY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=73i40lsuzqpo

🕊💃🏾🎶⚘#ArtIsAWeapon @FrankieKnucklesFoundation transitioned 6 years ago today (March 31st, 2014), but his musical legacy lives forever! #FrankieKnuckles #Art by @richardwilsonartwork #HouseMusicSavedMyLife #FKAlways Repost from @richardwilsonartwork - RIP Frankie Knuckles. I painted this in 2016, behind Frankie here is 'The Warehouse' where it's said 'House' music was born, now the building is a lawyers office but it's an essential visit if you are in Chicago. The most unassuming building, but the history! Thank you @TeddPatterson for allowing me to paint this as it's from a photo of Tedd and Frankie together. Out of many pics of Frankie I loved that image the most, his smile! Nothing touches me like house music, I can't explain why and luckily don't have to ☺️ Thankful every day for the originators and pioneers, those passed, and those still doing the do! #Housemusic #ItsASpiritualThing #HouseHead #SoulMusic #DanceMusic #FrankieKnucklesForever #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon #MusicIsLife #DancingIsFreedom #SoonIWillBeDone https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Z3_6Qg-yg/?igshid=i4at0cfzqpfo
