New Film Explores Legacy of Chosen Few Picnic
CHICAGO DEFENDER — Rodrick Wimberly: The legacy of the Chosen Few is left up to interpretations by different people. You have different stories of the origin of House music. That’s one of the reasons why the history of Chicago House Music is so rich. After people watch the film, I believe they’ll have a much better understanding of the historical basis and development of what House Music is. More importantly, the development of the film was to show the significance of House Music, why it was necessary from a sociological standpoint. I would say that The Chosen Few’s legacy helped create a genre and took it from a small enclave of private clubs to a broader, more universal audience. This allowed for Chicago, one of the most segregated cities in the country, to bring people together. The most incredible legacy of The Chosen Few is that it helped to create a genre of music but also an entire sub-culture of human-culture expression focused on unity, peace, and love.
