Frankie Knuckles (with Jamie Priciple and Adrienne Jett) - Your Love (Original Mix)

"Your Love" is instantly recognisable both as a late 80's Chicago House classic, but more familiarly as the backbone of the mega-hit "You Got The Love' by The Source feat. Candi Staton (which was basically the vocals from Candi's orignal version of the track added to the music from the Knuckles mix of "Your Love"). "Your Love" was originally a Jamie Principle track which Knuckles played at The Power Plant before remixing it for its 1987 release (1989 in the UK). At 5:48 seconds in you can hear the influence of this track on Pet Shop Boy's 1988 release "Left To My Own Devices" which Knuckles would later remix.
