Farley “JackMaster” Funk

Farley “JackMaster” Funk (Live) WBMX Chicago
Sometime in 1988

As much as I like Detroit radio growing up I loved Chicago radio maybe a little bit more. I had relatives in Chicago that I would stay with sometimes so that’s how I got this HOT Farley mix. I think Farley “JackMaster” Funk is to Chicago what “The Wizard” (Jeff Mills) is to Detroit. What I’m saying is, I think those 2 guys were the biggest radio mix DJ’s in the mid to late 80’s in these 2 cities. Who plays Dr. Martin Luther King speeches over house music? This whole mix is unbelievably hot and very long. Farley was taking requests live on the radio while mixing as a kid this blew me away. He knew where the breaks were on records so well like he made all of them.
