"Baby Wants to Ride" / "Your Love" (Frankie Knuckles)

This 1987 Frankie Knuckles single paired two Jamie Principle compositions, putting onto a single commercial release the kind of material that had long lived on tape in Chicago club booths. It captured the meeting of Principle's songwriting and Knuckles' DJ instincts at the moment the scene was consolidating its catalog. Both sides became reference points for house producers internationally.
