He was the king of the New York airwaves.   He was the Grand Kook, the Grand Commodore, Me-a-surray and the Fifth Beatle.  He coined  the phrases  blast from the past,  golden gassers,  Submarine Race Watching,  Swingin' Soiree, ain't that a kick in the head?  and he played them  red, hot and blue.  

He was Murray Kaufman, the most famous  and influential dj of the 50's, 60's and 70's.  In 1958, he moved to WINS and hosted the all-night Swingin' Soiree, soon moving to the 7 - 11 p.m. time slot, making radio history by remaining there for seven years.  

During that period, and with the release of our first record, Black and White Thunderbird, we were lucky enough to meet Murray.  We became his "dancing girls"   . . . he became our friend.  

Throughout those years we did many radio and stage shows with Murray.  We wrote and recorded Meusurray, inspired by a language he himself invented, and the Submarine Race Watcher's theme, which opened and closed his radio show.  

Murray the K left us on February 21, 1982 - gone too soon.  He is loved and missed.  Thanks, Murray.
