Even in the age of Spotify, when you dedicate a song on the radio, 'you’re letting the world know you love somebody.'
By 1985, Laurie Sanders was broadcasting “Love Songs on the Coast” on L.A.’s KOST 103.5 FM — the popular show that’s now helmed by Sharp.a trade industry publication. “It was just the way it was. And what it did was it created a connection between listeners and the radio station.”
Laboe moved to Los Angeles in 1949 to work, at KRKD, and as he was searching for advertisers, he found himself talking to Paul Scrivner, who owned a chain of popular drive-ins. They quickly realized he could broadcast a live radio show from the Scrivner’s Drive-In on the corner of Cahuenga Boulevard and Ivar Avenue near Sunset Boulevard. Laboe soon left the station to broadcast his live show on KXLA .
“Through the years and the decades, he’s made millions of dedications and had millions of listeners,” Morones said. Sometimes she still calls in to dedicate a song for him, even though she knows he won’t be able to hear it. Anthony is now at a facility in an area that isn’t reached by the show, which means he won’t be able to hear her dedicate another song until he’s released in the next few years.
In that moment, “whatever the two of them felt when they heard that song, it was like time stopped,” she said. The screener stopped him and said, “Wait a minute. I wish you would have told me this was a gay call.” She told Bain that he could mention a “girl’s name” on the broadcast and then call Dave to explain the pseudonym. But before Bain could even respond, she hung up.
