Manuel "Paco" Navarro

I'd be remiss not to include DJ Paco in this blog as he may not have been as exhalted as some of the other entries he was a definite stop on the old radio dial.  Paquito was best known for his afternoon gig at WKTU aka Disco 92.  Paco's show and voice are legendary and his disco mixes live on to this day.  He is still an active DJ working mostly in the Spanish language market but he also does a Saturday Nights show on 102.7 in NYC.
