Chicago lost an icon this week, a true innovator whose profound impact on popular music is simply immeasurable. While you read our Frankie Knuckles obituary, check out why Knuckles's music resonated with so many by watching a 14-minute documentary about Chicago's house music scene.

Shot on the opening night of the Power House nightclub, the documentary interviews many players and performers in house music, including Knuckles himself. Footage of Frankie Knuckles performing starts at about the five-minute mark.
