Chicago. A place celebrated the world over for the talent of its musicians
spanning across countless genres of music. You name it---Soul, Funk, Rock,
Jazz, Blues, etc. In modern times, ChicagoÆs Dance floors have had a worldwide
reputation for House music; itÆs a sound that has pretty much reached to areas
all across the globe. Yet, in the early developmental stages of the Chicago
Dance era (mid-late 1970Æs to early 1980Æs), there were scores of musicians
recording Dance music, hoping to be the next mainstream success story. As it
goes, for the artists in this compilation---it didnÆt quite turn out that way.
Budget problems, the politics of the time, being told, ôI donÆt like itö, or
simply having the door slammed in their face, is what many of these artists
were faced with instead. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that the
musicianship that these artists possessed by far equals---even defined---the
infinite status of what todayÆs market calls ôGood Musicö.
