Kenny Yorke
A brief bio on New York City area DJ and sound specialist Kenny Yorke.
My name is Kenny Yorke and I started by selling records across the street from my High School (Erasmus Hall on Flatbush Ave., Brooklyn). Then I worked on Fulton Street at the home of WWRL (AM radio) playing records for the peolpe to buy. I Worked for WABC Radio in 1968-70 with Cousin Brucie, Bobaloo, Dan Ingam and all the Bubble gum DJs.
I started to go to the first Disco, Neptha, Hippo and taught Ellen Michaels how to dance. I worked for Rosner Custom Sound & Richard Long where we did the Sound Systems for all the New York City area clubs. I built Discos for Elephas, Lemon Tree, Magique... I also mixed at them and did the lighting and Effects for all of them.
I was funny looking and loved the music, the lighting, the dancing, the people... We need to do it again

COMMENTS ON Kenny Yorke
Kenny,
I'm really impressed with your Disco musical background and thanks for sharing this with me.
I'll be sure to pass this on to my friends that go back to the "Disco" age - I know that my cousin "Marvin Gay" will enjoy this as well!
Take care,
Thelma
Kenny,
It's good to see you still can spin tall tales about your Sound system installation credentials .They're bogus you never worked for Richard Long & Assoc. You were a go-fer for the owners of Elephas and you tried to get your fingers into the systems of Lemon Tree & Magique with no success. Try to state your own accomplishments truthfully and don't embelish 'cause there is always someone out there that knows the truth and is willing to set the record straight.

Dear Frankie Z. I can provide W2s from Rosner Custom Sound , Lemon Tree , Elephas, Maqique ask Jenny Costa, Jimmy Yu (Thats where I met you remember ? I took your job away from you after the first theft of the sound system gee we never found out who took that equipment ? You had nothing to do after that .You should be thanking me for your job with Richard ..You have nothing to do but lash out at peolple and lie on Christmas Day (I will say it again Frankie Get a Life ..Do you still live with your Mommy in Bayside ???
PS Frankie Z AND YOUR UGLY >>Where"s your picture ?? Mr. !!!
I really worked for Rosner! If you guys built Elephas than I wonder what I was doing? Frankie Z's name I remember but Kenny I don't remember, wonder why? Anyway I was just a little guy who didn't do much so I guess not too many people remember me!
After Elelphas was robbed of their Sound system I was working with Rosner Custom Sound We replaced the sound system and then I started working for Elephas,with Tony C. anf Jimmy Yu..
I worked for Sid, Mike, and Ray D. Any Questions ?? Aske Jimmy Yu Jenny Costa, Tony C. Bye !

Hi! I just discovered your site. Please tell me more about Ellen Michaels.How did it come about that you taught her how to dance, and what dances did you teach her? I know so many guys who had incredible crushes on her.... she looks so incredible in all of her pictures...There was a kid who played trumper....I believe that his name was STeve something or other....he might have even worked with Vince Montana briefly somewhere.He said she's gorgeous
Kenny, that picture of you reminds me of THE SOPRANOS!! You could make a bundle of money playing that type of character in the movies!!
