Tom Lewis

Upstate New York Disco DJ (b. 1954 - ???)

Tom Lewis Tom Lewis, resident DJ at "The Rafters" in Saratoga Springs, NY

Tom Lewis was the founder and publisher of "Disco Beats", a.k.a. The Disco Bible, a comprehensive guide updated weekly with supplemental inserts for nightclub DJs - Disco Beats was the B.P.M. (beats per minute) guide that listed all of the relevant Disco and Funk releases of the day.

Tom Lewis was well known in the music industry as he was also the director of the Albany Association of DJ's, upstate New York's capitol area record pool. Tom was a few years older than myslef when I first met him in the booth in 1976 at the Rafters, a lengendary club located on Saratoga Lake that was ahead of it's time- first place I know of that used lasers that were required to be operated by a licensed operator.

I was forever influenced by Tom Lewis' creative mixing. I have been trying to find out if Tom is still alive and would love to speak with him again, so if anyone knows how to get in touch with him, please let me know!
