You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine

Here is a brilliant remix by Godfather of House Frankie Knuckles of Lou Rawls' "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine".  It has been extracted from a live mix he did at the Boiler Room  last year.  It's nothing short of a brilliant treatment he did to this disco classic.  This remix has been circulating heavily on the internet and whether it will have a proper release I'm not certain. One thing for sure is that this remix it's a testament of Mr. Knuckles longevity and brilliance as a DJ/Producer. Enjoy!
