  • Marvin Burns (born May 13, 1962), known by his stage name Li'l Louis (sometimes expanded to Li'l Louis & the World and Li'l Louis & the Party), is a Chicago-born house-music producer and DJ . He scored a number of hits on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the 1980s and 1990s, three of which hit #1. His best known song, "French Kiss" spent two weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1989. Originally an instrumental, the track features a several-minutes-long breakdown in which the tempo gradually slows down to a stop. As the song gained popularity, vocals by Shawn Christopher were added. Even with its erotic sound, it crossed over to some pop radio stations and climbed to No. 50 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was a big success throughout Europe reaching No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart, despite being banned by the BBC, and in Germany, and No. 1 in the Netherlands. The video was directed by Marek Budzynski. British Drum 'n' Bass producers Ed Rush & Optical later produced a remix. In the track "Teachers" from the 1997 Homework album by Daft Punk, Lil Louis is one of the many musicians mentioned. Laurent Garnier's 1997 single "Flashback" contained a remix made by Lil Louis called "Lil Louis Civilized Instrumental Painting." In 2000, fellow producer Josh Wink released "How's Your Evening So Far?"—credited to Wink Featuring Lil Louis—a track that heavily sampled "French Kiss". The song peaked at No. 3 on the dance chart. The song was also sampled in 2000 by hip hop emcee Lil' Kim on the track "Custom Made (Give It To You)," which was featured on The Notorious KIM. In 2013, John Legend released the song "Made to Love", which features a prominent sample of the Lil' Louis song "Video Clash", on Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label. On January 24, 2015, Louis suffered permanent sound-induced hearing loss in his left ear during a soundcheck in Manchester, England, when a compressed air horn was let off in close proximity to him.

  • Lil Louis (echte naam Louis Burns) (1962 - ) is een Amerikaanse house-muzikant die eind 1989 een internationale hit scoorde met het nummer French Kiss. Ondanks (of misschien wel dankzij) een boycot door onder meer de BBC -het gekreun door een vrouw aan het einde van het nummer werd te obsceen bevonden- bereikte het nummer in onder meer Groot-Brittannië de 2e plaats en in Nederland zelfs nummer 1. In Amerika kreeg een diskjockey een boete toen hij het nummer in een nightclub draaide. Al halverwege de jaren zeventig doet Louis Burns ervaring op met het draaien en mixen van platen. In deze periode krijgt hij zijn bijnaam Lil Louis, die hij later als artiestennaam aanneemt. In de jaren 80 is hij een van de pioniers van de opkomende house-muziek in Chicago. Na het nummer French Kiss scoorde hij geen hits meer, hoewel het nummer Blackout en Video Clash in de dancescene de naam Lil Louis nog eenmaal op de kaart zette. In 1992, hij was inmiddels verhuisd naar New York, probeerde hij terug te komen in de muziek met de door hem opgerichte groepen The Club Lonely en Saved My Life, waarin hij meer opschoof naar de jazz. Later stopte hij met het opnemen van muziek en begon hij zijn eigen club in New York. (nl)
  • Lil Louis, pseudonimo di Louis Sims (Chicago, 13 maggio 1962), è un disc jockey e musicista statunitense. Pioniere della Chicago house e inventore del genere house, Lil Louis ha pubblicato diversi singoli, considerati classici del genere, che sono apparsi ai primi posti delle classifiche dance di Billboard e che sono stati remissati da altri artisti come Laurent Garnier e Basement Jaxx. Secondo Christian Zingales, Louis avrebbe saputo "maneggiare con pari abilità e visionarietà i due lati che compongono la città di Chicago: quello dei pezzi creati per far ballare (trax) e quello legato ancora alla forma canzone e alla memoria della tradizione soul".
