Art Laboe

A California disc jockey who popularized the "oldies but goodies" format in radio. Though compilation albums of older material are now commonplace, Laboe was among the first (if not the first) to license material from several labels for the first successful "oldies" albums to hit the market. Art Laboe died in Palm Springs, California on October 7, 2022; he was 97. ~ Cub Koda
