Today's classic cut finds us back in 1991 savouring the vocals of Vesta Williams and an awesome remix from Frankie Knuckles. The Classic Club Mix of "Do Ya" has all the hallmarks of Frankie's signature sound from the eary 90s. Gorgeous keys, lush synth strings, rumbling bass and a captivating mid-tempo house groove. It landed at a time when numerous labels were comissioning house remixes for their mainstream and R&B acts with Frankie leading the way bringing the sound to a wider audience and an array of dancefloors. Sadly both Vesta and Frankie are no longer with us but the music lives on. Frankie's legacy is almost impossible to overstate.
