Art Laboe dies: Cause of death revealed
After contracting pneumonia, Laboe passed away on Friday night in California, according to reliable sources.
Laboe, who is credited with coining the expression “oldies but goodies,” presented his final program on Sunday (October 9).
According to his website, he celebrated 79 years on the air in September, making him the American DJ with the “longest continuous term of broadcast service.”
Keeping the torch alive for Latinos raised on the ultra-romantic crooner and dance group songs of the 1950s and 1960s was Laboe’s legacy, according to verified sources.
Rain or shine, the nonagenarian offered the Chicano Southwest sound he had selected, which included R&B, rock ‘n’ roll, and soul oldies. It became the soundtrack for driving lowriders and antique vehicles.
