Farley Jackmaster Funk, born Farley Keith on January 25, 1962, in Chicago, IL, is a renowned DJ and producer. He gained prominence as a member of the Hot Mix 5 DJ team on Chicago's WBMX-FM and performed at the Warehouse club before establishing a residency at the Playground. In 1984, he adopted the name Farley "Jackmaster" Funk and, along with others, created the first house single to chart in the UK. His anthem "Love Can't Turn Around," a cover of "I Can't Turn Around," reached the Top Ten in mid-1986. By the late '80s, he had lost his DJ residency, and his recorded output in the '90s was limited as he focused on performing on the global DJ circuit.
