Laboe is credited with helping end segregation in Southern California by organizing live DJ shows at drive-in eateries that attracted White, Black and Latino listeners who danced to rock ‘n’ roll — and shocked an older generation still listening to Frank Sinatra and Big Band music. The DJ is also credited with coining the phrase “oldies, but goodies.”
