Jamie Principle born Byron Walton is a house music artist and producer born in Chicago, Illinois. He is one of the early pioneers of house music when the genre was first began in Chicago during the early 1980s. Principle later began having entries on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the early 1990s, including "Cold World," a #22 dance hit that is a collaboration with Steve "Silk" Hurley, and the classic "You're All I Waited For" on the Smash Records label. Principle's 1985 song Your Love (with Frankie Knuckles) is one of the earliest house songs and was played regularly at a Chicago dance club called the Warehouse for over a year before being released on vinyl LP. The track was a sensation in the city's underground clubs before being released on vinyl. Its success before an official release was entirely due to the song being played in Chicago house music clubs, then copied onto tape by fans, and eventually circulating throughout the underground scene. In 2004 Principle hit #1 on the US Dance Chart with "Back N Da Day," which is a collaboration with another house music legend, Frankie Knuckles.
