Jamie Principle - It's A Cold World

[1IcyBombShell]

It's 14 degrees outside now!!! Glad I got this song to reminisce to so I can stay warm inside.

[dbadassboy]

Its a cold world but but I am coming back home to Chicago. I left Feb 9, 2003 it was minus 9 degrees, Wells Fargo dragged me from Chicago behind that stagecoach with a noose wrapped around my neck and the left me in the desert to die. But like Dr. Martin Luther King I have a dream.

[makeda13]

@LordDanofLondon

those 5 people smoke crack i'm sure.

[MIASTUNNA]

I remember seeing Jaime perform at Mendel Catholic he had the whole building shaking. As far as Frankie Knuckles is concerned why waste my time. Thanks to Jaime I went home with 3 Hickeys on my neck from 3 different girls.... I miss the 80's

[Smurfologist]

@MIASTUNNA Mendel, Class of '82........Jamie Principle is a legend!!! May Chicago House live on!!!!

[13crazyhw]

Whoever hates this song, shame on you.

[conradfritz]

I was born in 1977, it's my life I do what I want to...North side white boy (Montrose+Kedzie) born and raised and I love Jamie Principle with all my heart and soul. I wouldn't be who I am today without you, Jamie. Best ever. Mad props. Sing it kiddo. Xxxo.

[1967581]

DO ANYONE REMEMBER THIS,?

[hspank]

remember it from a club in Berlin '87 - 2 years later the wall came down. house music was just the beginning.

[croncook1972]

i remember going to the taste night club in chicago and listening to the song in 1986.

[THEMIXOLOGIST1]

This was one of Jamie's coldest tracks. I don't know, or care about how Frankie's name got out front of Jamie Principle. If you grew up in house music like I did, you knew where the real credit went. As far as I'm concerned it's written and produced by Jamie Principle, as all of the previous tracks in Jamie's House music history. I think Jamie got his real break when he joined with Steve "Silk" Hurley & E Smooth for I.D. Productions. Now that's real talk. "Matthew Yates" aka "The Mixologist"

[andre69920]

this is the shit........

[mmc81]

i am sooo thankful to have experienced house music back in the day! i have it running through my veins..Chi town is the bomb!!!!!!

Knuckles was indeed the producer of this track. Jamie was the vocalist.

[pitdog30]

Chi-Town till I die...!!!

[NOCOPYSARAH]

the beat and main synth line is so catchy!!! chicago pride!

[dbadassboy]

At all relevant times they either knew or they reasonably

should have known, that the acts, actions and failure to

act of its managers, supervisors and agents would and

did proximity result in mental physical and emotional

injury to me

[dbadassboy]

Not a con just Don

[dbadassboy]

It was a bad relationship

[dbadassboy]

At all relevant times they either knew or they reasonably

should have known, that the acts, actions and failure to

act of its managers, supervisors and agents would and

did proximity result in mental physical and emotional

injury to me including pain suffering and depression and mental anguish.

[dbadassboy]

I was terminal in 1993 and Wells Fargo did not think I would live long enough to tell the story!

They are still churning profits no reason not to settle.

[mississippipollock]

Are you a con?

[dbadassboy]

Not a con I am the one I am the real thing feel free to chat!

I remember how cold it is in Chicago

I remember Wells Fargo in Schaumburg

I remember the lawsuit I filed

I. Don Darryl

Chicago

[phreakincool]

Are you mental? STFU already!

[dbadassboy]

Yes as a result of the pain, suffering,, depression and mental anguish as per the lawsuit filed and the conciliation efforts failed.

Keep talking and or commenting try and wipe the shit off your shoes, as I don't recommend stepping into shit you may never get off you shoes

one of many jamie principal cuts!! chi-town 1979-90

[therebeld01]

I really dont understand, how can I miss this kind of music, since I havent been born then yet... And yes, I agree with those, who are screaming, that Frankie stole the real glory of Jamie...

[beyond72]

I might not be from Chicago - but I always loved this track, still do.

[derekimo]

they say,,its a cold world, southside chicago jacks the best 1984-1987

[scorpiostrikes]

What Jesus is to Christianity, Jamie is to House. He is the prophet, the pioneer, THE ONE!!! Much respect must be given. Frankie managed to steal alot of Jamie's well deserved fame. Hence the title Frankie Knuckle's Presents: It's A Cold World. What a fuckin cocksucker Frankie is, literally. Jamie's name is nowhere to be found except for in small parenthesis(B. Walton). What a shame that he gets all the credit from people who don't know shit about House.

[naluv4u2]

I agree with u!

[lilcenzo]

yeah it's bogus but i am sure folks who truly love the music have researched to know who really created the classics. i know i did.

[ladybrown75]

@scorpiostrikes no worries, we KNOW Jamie's voice and think of him as the author. It's sad that people take other people credit but true fans know.

[yansita9]

Oh yes it is a cold world...especially Chicago in January! BRRRRR!!!!!

[disman00911]

classic house right here!  One of my favorites.

[shemkasai]

the best version of this beuty is called "Mommy can you hear me mix", does anyone have it ? and if any agree to send me a MP3 i will be so glad, it is top 10 for me.

[Tadgehouse]

[shemkasai]

[mscurvy]

Don't forget Longwood Parties!!

[scorpiostrikes]

We love you Jamie. One of the pioneers of Chicago House. A real songwriter. While everyone else was doing that "jack the box", "work your body", "house nation" sample shit that was repeated to death, Jamie was the 1st to write an entire House song with verses, chorus, interlude. He did it to perfection.

[RealFreshBlog]
