This clip is painfully brief. Pity he didnt make a 30 or 60 minute documentary seeing as the BBC flew him out in the 1980s from the UK to talk to 2 people in New York about House music from Chicago". What a wated opportunity. The interviewer didnt seem very enthused. Oh well at least he got to meet Farley Jackmaster Funk before most Brits. 😂
He's telling porkies. It's generally accepted House music came from the Warehouse club and Frankie Knuckles. Local record store had a bin "as played at The Warehouse" which was shortened to House. Leonard Rroy also has a claim but he was referring to "his mother's soul and disco records"
As well as this some of the original House and Techno producers have often claimed it was called House music because they were all producing the tracks at home. You can find this claim in a number of documentaries.
@rabgoldie3772 I think this kind of thing goes on in every music scene. I know several people who claim to be the sole inventors of Drum & Bass and Jungle music and even lay claim to naming the grenres.
I read an old interview given by Frankie Knuckles (the godfather of house) on the origin of the term 'House Music'. He said the first time he heard of the name is when someone approached him in the DJ both & told him "about this exciting new music that is to come & it was to be called HOUSE".
“Is this just a passing fad?”

I think he was standing in front of his imports section - Mel & Kim, Hazell Dean, Midnight Sunrise and italo artists Sandra and Grant Miller

I'm pretty sure Farley knows this, after all, he was a DJ at the Warehouse nightclub.

"House. What is house? Technotronic, KLF, or something you just live in?"

'Just happened'. Just like so many other things. Everything like this is engineered to happen.
