| Art Laboe |
Gary Lycan at ocrgister.com writes Lavboe’s six decades
speak to his popularity as a radio personality and his business skills as the
creator and packager of the enormously successful "Oldies But
Goodies" record series. So it comes as no surprise to know the nightly Hot
92.3 FM personality will be inducted Nov. 10 into the National Radio Hall of
Fame at the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago.
To celebrate the occasion, KHHT's Jimmy Reyes is turning his
morning drive show over to a party for Laboe on Nov. 8 (Thursday) at the
Guadalajara Grill in Baldwin Park. Listeners and friends can stop by for free
breakfast, the station said, and offer their best wishes to him. If this event
is anything like the one at Spaghettini in Seal Beach a couple of years ago,
Laboe will be posing for lots of photos with his fans.
Laboe is on 7 p.m.-midnight Monday-Friday and 6
p.m.-midnight Sunday. His 10 years on the "Old School" rhythm and
blues station were celebrated in a September concert at the San Manuel
Amphitheatre in San Bernardino.
Laboe began his LA career in 1949 with an all-night record
show from Scrivner's Drive-In on KXLA (later KRLA). He was on KFWB, KPOP, and
was the first to play rock 'n' roll and Elvis Presley on local radio. In 1972
he joined KRLA when it became the first full-time oldies station.
