Harry Dennis was born a Sagittarian in Chicago, Illinois. Harry or Harri used interchangeably, is one of the originators of the "deep house" sound. Deep house can be described as a vocal arrangement with a meaningful or enigmatic message juxtaposed against the electronic bassline and drum beats characteristic of house music of the early to mid-1980s. He began his career in the early days of house music and began an affiliation with house notables such as Frankie Knuckles, Chip E., (both respectfully considered the "Godfathers of House Music"), and Ron Hardy. Harry ushered in a new twist to the house music phenomena of the 1980s. His lyrical style and vocal prominence in delivery prompted house music fans to feel the message embedded in rhythmic, soulful, and funk-infused beats of house music.
