So this Wednesday we’ll be paying tribute while we do our usual silliness. See you there! 10pm Pacific only on twitch.tv/RicardoDJing (link in bio). ❤️ ☎️ 🎙 🎶 🌊 📻 #lovesongsonthekost #lovesongsonthecoast #lovesongsonthetwitch #artlaboe #artlaboeconnection #twitchdj #dedicationline #requestline (at Memories of El Monte) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjm44P_uOVn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you have oldies you want to share with us, come to @theoffbeatbar tonight and play them from 6-9pm! And after that, sing them! (BTW I love that @metrosessions was in the same wavelength without having to even talk about it). #oldiesbutgoodies #artlaboe #turntabletuesday #karaoke #highlandpark (at The OffBeat - A Bar On York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjlr4_MP0se/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Art Laboe American songwriter, record producer, and radio station owner, pure Gold oldies I can do some nice talking in Armenian. But I can do almost that good in Spanish, too," Laboe smiles. "I’m happy that [our concerts and shows appeal to] everybody. If you come to one of our concerts, you’ll see a mixture, a complete mixture of what we have in California." -Laboe The music industry lost a good one today Rest easy Art #laboe #dj #songwriter #artist #artlaboe #artlovers #designer #musicindustry #radio #radiostationstudio https://www.instagram.com/p/CjlKMDfLy9N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sad news today for L.A. the Legend @artlaboeconnection passed away . R.I.P. my friend . It was alway cool hanging with him wether it was doing a photo shoot or at a show backstage. Glad I got to work with one of my heroes. So many memories listening to his show on the radio, at his live shows and bumping his cassette tapes and C.D.’s . He lived a good and long life .

When I was around 15 I lived in Florida for about a year and I hated it for many reasons, but mostly because my dad was still working in Puerto Rico so we’d only see him a few times a month and as my parents’ marriage disintegrated, the visits became even less frequent. During that otherwise dark period of time, my dad sent me a box of what I thought was the entire collection of Art Laboe’s Oldies But Goodies on CD (vol. 13 was missing but I assumed at the time that they skipped it because of superstition). I was already an oldies fan and I had no idea who Art Laboe was, but the collection introduced me to oldies I was not familiar with. More soul, no Beatles, Stones or Jackson 5 and even some Spanish! I devoured the liner notes and learned what songs like “Memories of El Monte” were about and lots of other interesting facts about something called “lowriders,” the LA-Eastside-SFV-SGV music scene in the 50s 60s & 70s, never imagining that I’d end up living the majority of my life so far in Los Angeles. The idea that I’d start doing a poor imitation of Art Laboe’s dedication show during a worldwide pandemic on something called Twitch sounds too ridiculous to have imagined. The radio business can be cruel and unforgiving but I’m glad Laboe always found a home for his show as most of commercial radio continued to cannibalize itself into irrelevance. All this to say, thank you Mr. Laboe for curating a collection of songs that saved my soul. I’d like to dedicate Memories of El Monte to you. #ArtLaboe #OldiesButGoodies #MemoriesofElMonte #LoveSongsOnTheTwitch #radiolegend #lowrideroldies (at El Monte, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjj5O_tu7K5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rest in Paradise to Art Laboe! An LA ICON and Godfather of LA’s sound & car culture and did huge amounts to end segregation in Los Angeles! He did tons that most don’t know about, he’s an unsung hero and we MUST have a biopic/series about his life. It was so damn interesting. Getting a dedication in and your name said during one of his broadcasts was a huge honor. Fly safe El Rey, you made the city proud. The cars will be out playing tunes in your honor all week and this weekend will be spectacular.
