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

YOUR 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.

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
