Paco on 92KTU WKTU New York | February 1984
After hearing about the passing of Manuel “Paco” Navarro, I thought I’d share some of his work. Paco was one of the best known voices of disco in the late 1970s and early 1980s at once top-rated WKTU New York. He held down afternoon drive on Disco 92, later 92KTU. With his Spanish accent, he…
