Ode to Larry Levan

Larry Levan, the dancefloor's guiding light,

In Paradise Garage, you took flight.

With vinyl spinning and beats so divine,

You made us move, you made us shine.

On this day, we remember your grace,

Your music still lights up the dancefloor's space.

In the heart of New York, you made us believe,

That love, in the music, we could achieve.

Larry, you're gone, but your spirit lives on,

In the classics you played till the break of dawn.

So let's celebrate your groove and your soul,

With a mix of your magic, making us whole.

To the legend, the DJ, the Garage's king,

Your legacy in our hearts will forever sing.

Larry Levan, in our memories, you stay,

As we dance to your tunes, on this special day.
