Biography
Abe Keshishian, known professionally as Abe "Voco" Kesh (November 4, 1933 – July 3, 1989) was an American disc jockey and record producer. He is best-known for discovering the seminal hard rock band Blue Cheer, and for producing their first two albums, Vincebus Eruptum and Outsideinside. He also produced the band's 1968 Top 10 cover of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues." He worked as a DJ at the legendary KSAN San Francisco doing the overnight show. He was born in Detroit, and died at the Marin Hotel in San Rafael, where he lived the final 14 years of his life.
