Definition of Your Love (Jamie Principle song)
"Your Love" is a 1986 Chicago house song recorded by American artist Jamie Principle. His lyrics, which describe meeting a woman called Lisa, were later given to Frankie Knuckles, a DJ who worked in Chicago clubs Principle frequented. Despite not having produced any original music, Knuckles agreed to work on the song after hearing Principle's original version. Knuckles added more music to the song and played it at his club, generating an enthusiastic reception. His version of the song was played from tapes and is different from later releases; according to Jacob Arnold of Wax Poetics, the edit Knuckles played at his club featured snare drums with vocals. For the first publicly available release, DJ Mark "Hot Rod" Trollan later revised the song, adding a synthesizer intro and a bassline, for a 1986 release from Persona Records.
The song is often credited to Knuckles, despite having first been released by Principle. It was re-released by Trax Records and credited to Knuckles, with Principle being credited as the songwriter. The Trax release and the Persona release are very similar to each other. "Your Love" charted at number 59 in the United Kingdom and in 2014, re-entering the chart after the death of Knuckles, and peaking at number 29.
