Who are some classic Chicago style House Music Artists from early 80's?

Question

I know about Marshall Jefferson –
House Music Anthem, 'Move Your Body'

Who are some other Chicago Style Artistis prior to 1988 who relied on Heavy Piano Riffs and not a lot of vocals?

Reason I ask is:
Back in 1988, I joined the Air Force and was in Tech school where one of the other airmen was playing a home made tape of some music that he described as HOUSE. This airman was from Chicago and he told me the artist playing was also from Chicago. What's more is the music he was playing didn't sound like what people call "House" these days. What I was hearing had some natual sounding Piano and it was really good! In fact, every-so-often, I hear a bit of that same stuff barrowed in other people's music.

Anybody have any idea of what I'm talking about????????
