Default Art Laboe Still DJing

Would you believe that 87 year old Art Laboe, the founder of the "Oldies But
Goodies" oldies record label, and longtime Southern California DJ and
promoter is STILL doing a regular DJ show and promoting shows? I remember
listening to him on XERB growing up here in the Bay Area.

It was funny; my mom bought me some of Art Laboe's "Oldes But Goodies"
albums in the 1960s and the songs had familiar titles, but the songs were
sung by different people! It was years later that I learned that many of
the songs I grew up with were white cover versions of earlier ones done by
black and Italian doo wop singers.
