You left out the best part! He was a resident DJ of The Continental Baths in New York for many years. Spinning records for the towel wrapped dancers until the early hours. The documentary "Continental" has some great interviews with him about that time. Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, LaBelle, and others also got their starts at the baths.

R.I.P. to a true pioneer.

I got a connection that can get us into the hippest club in the universe. This club is so hip it isn't even a club. Goodbye Megatropolis ambient house with Red Indian jungle synth. Goodbye Babes in Toyland glam-ram trashy ambient jazz with a Dennis the Menace and a couple of black and whites thrown in, and hello Frankie Knuckles' CD-ROM Dance Happening, darling. You can forget your Es and you LSDs, there's a whole alphabet of leisure drugs available.

Larry and Frankie were best friends, they learned from each other. I can find no source that credibly says Frankie learned from Larry. If anything, they BOTH learned from Francis Grasso, David Mancuso and Nicky Siano who were the pioneers at the time. You can't trust information on the internet as a source.
