Frankie Knuckles at the Power House, opening night 1986

1986

Phil Ranstrom's short film of the opening night of Knuckles' own club, the Power House, shot in 1986 and unseen until the Media Burn Archive released it in 2014. Actual moving footage of Knuckles at work in a Chicago club in the 1980s barely exists; free-licensed still photography of him from this era does not exist at all.
