Biography

If you are looking for that special suprise for your guests, Lionel Vinyl IS the 'MAN'. Lionel Vinyl gets the crowd going like no one else. Lionel will show your guests all the disco moves and is guaranteed to get everyone talking and on the dancefloor. He's the king of the dances, disco heaven!

Lionel Vinyl was born in Brooklyn, New York 4th July, 1950. At the age of 10, Lionel and his family moved to Manhattan. This is where Lionel was influenced by the sweet sounds of soul. Later on in the '60s, still in his teens, Lionel helped the growth of Motown music, becoming close friends with The Jacksons, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye and many more. Here, Lionel can be seen with his close friends, The Jacksons way back in the summer of '69. You know the moonwalking that Michael does? Well Lionel taught him how to do that...

By 1975 he had opened his own club in Manhattan, the world famous "Lionel's" where Saturday Night Fever was filmed, which he in part choreographed and taught John Travolta to D.I.S.C.O. All the disco stars were regular clients, from Kool & The Gang to Gloria Gaynor, where they all came as personal friends of Lionel Vinyl. It was well known by everyone in the industry that Lionel Vinyl was the KING OF DISCO.

In 1979 Lionel released his first record by popular demand, followed by a major recording deal with RCA. This led to number one singles in America, and as far as China and Singapore. To this day Lionel's albums still outsell Michael Jackson and the Nolans in Japan.

Through the '80s Lionel's career exploded on to US television. He presented music shows, talk shows, game shows and appeared in a string of hit films, making him a multi-millionaire. Lionel's original and innovative shows spawned a whole generation of similar shows. Jerry Springer, Wheel of Fortune, Fame, Knight Rider, Magnum to name but a few.

He was back for the '90s and today as the cheezy DJ from the USA, educating the UK in Disco at venues in Blackpool, the North West and beyond. He also had his own radio show every Sunday on Wave FM.
