Frankie Knuckles Presents Satoshi Tomiie - Tears (Fearuring Robert Owens)

#100GREATESTELECTRONICAOFALLTIME-CHAPTER18

A truly beautiful and time defying record that excels in conveying soul and emotion orchestrated by lush chords and wonderful uplifting vocals. Robert Owens, the greatest ever vocalist in House music had the talent and the voice to achieve success as a standalone R'n B singer. This track raised the bar of earlier vocal deep House tracks released predominantly on Trax from Jamie Principle, Liz Torres, Kevin irving and Marshall Jefferson. Billed as “Frankie Knuckles Presents Satoshi Tomiie,” the tune wasn’t a Knuckles production, exactly. Tomiie, then 20 years old, laid down the instrumental tracks, while Knuckles directed the vocal session (with Robert Owens, then known mainly for his work with Larry “Mr. Fingers” Heard), supervised the mix, and served as a sort of executive producer; “he had a Quincy Jones type of role,” as Tomiie puts it. Whoever it’s credited to, its Classic Vocal version is one of the most stunningly soulful moments in house history, while a trio of David Moralesrerubs on the flip helped cement that still-young artist as one of house’s go-to remixers. Released on FFRR in 1989, it’s music that reverberates to this day.
