## What 2 lists say

### No. 9 in [Chicago House](https://waxonia.com/genre/chicago-house/)

Robert Owens sings it like a sermon, because it more or less is one. The clearest evidence that house came out of the church as much as the discotheque.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — In the Room](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-chicago-in-the-room/)

Robert Owens singing gospel phrasing over a drum machine, in rooms most churches would not have admitted the congregation to. That tension is the whole record and nobody has resolved it since.
