"In The Beginning There Was Jack and Jack had a Groove" The House Music Gospel, The
Preacher's Anthem are just a few of the descriptions given to the now famous speech. Fans of
House, Dance and other genres of music for that matter can most certainly finish the rest of the
verse that Chuck "THE ORIGINAL VOICE OF HOUSE MUSIC " Roberts so eloquently spoke
on one of House Music's most defining recordings. This is evident by the Tens of Millions of
YouTube plays and samples by all Genre’s of DJ’s. This is proof of the power of those spoken
words.
How it all started:
When: The year 1987
Who: "Jack"
Where: A heavenly studio on the West side of Chicago
What: Chuck explained to his people spoken in a godly voice straight from the House Book of
Genesis in omniscient detail of how house music was born and the impact on it has on your body
and soul. Then Jack disappeared back into the heavens only to be heard all over the world but
never seen. For you see in Jack's realm there is no time. Since then House Heads have
anticipated his return for 30 years to come into the presence of more knowledge and wisdom of
Jack's House. Little did they know it was written for the year 2018 we would see the return of
Jack and his soul stirring words of musical edification.
In The Beginning There Was Jack was released on Ultra Music in 2018. This is a refreshed
version of the original classic. Produced by Terry Hunter and also featuring Monique Bingham.
Here are just a few of what the media articles and music industry Tastemakers have to say about
the most prolific and iconic messages in dance music:
DJ Wayne Williams Sr. VP of A&R at RCA Records and world famous House Music DJ and
Gatekeeper states " Chuck's Acapella is arguably the most important recording in house music
history next to Marshall Jefferson's "Move Your Body"
Grammy Nominated DJ Terry Hunter states : My House speaks directly to the people. It's
obvious as it has lasted 30 years and DJ's of all genre's still have him in their rotation.
DJ Kenny Dope states" Chuck’s Acapella this is one most influential acapella s in dance music
history".
And the list goes on...In August 2016 Spotify Warner Music Group named this recording#1 out
of 50 Greatest House Music Recordings of all time
In 2014 Rolling Stone Magazine named Can You Feel It Featuring Chuck Roberts now famous
speech #6 of the 20 greatest house records of all time.

In July 2016 the U.K.'s BBC Music calls the speech one of the most spiritual experiences in
dance music
What’s up with Chuck you may ask? Well, The Chicago Native has been in music for many
years and it's no wonder that he honed his vocal skills starting from his youth singing in the
Church Choirs and going on to form his own R&B Bands “Mister” and “The Verdict” on
NUANCE Records penning such classics as That's Where I Come In and I Wanna Thank You in
the 1980’s.
Unbeknownst to Chuck he would become an ICON in House Music History by forming the
group Rhythm Controll and writing the classic My House. After the success of My House he
enjoyed a brief stint on ZYX Records in the U.K. and has never stopped producing music over
the years contributing to projects on Death Row Records for Danny Boy (the voice behind 2Pac's
"I Ain't Mad at Cha"). Additionally Chuck has also worked with Sony Music producing for
Glenn Jones, Bobby Debarge and many others. Chuck has also continued to work with various
Gospel Groups writing and producing.
2018 proved to be a very special year as it’s the 30th anniversary of the iconic recording My
House as a result Chuck is now a member of the Ultra Music Recording family and has
released a new rendition of his famous speech entitled: "In The Beginning feat Monique
Bingham" is out NOW!!!see the video https://youtu.be/pp8hIRUIg8g
