Is Abraham Laboriel the bassist the same Abe Laboriel who made a big impact in Mexico covering 1950's rock and roll standards in Spanish? I suspect so, because black Mexicans are few and far between, and the singer (whom I saw once in television) was extremely talented... and I wouldn't be surprised if we were talking about the same person...

Oh, duh, I did my research. Abe is the bassist, his brother Johnny is the singer. An extremely popular, extremely charismatic singer of Spanish covers of old R&R standards, plus a few original ones. Now we know... Demf01:31, 10 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
When I saw Paul Macartney's Back in the US DVD, I noticed how talented is the drummer, Abe Laboriel. Because of his last name, I thaugth, he must be relative to Johnny Laboriel, now I see. By the way I am mexican too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.160.64.33 (talk) 22:08, 12 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
Abraham Laboriel, Sr. (the bass player) can sing, but not what I'd call "professionally" ... of course, when you play bass that well, who cares how "good" your singing voice is? As for the "drummer Abe" who played with McCartney, that would be Abraham Laboriel, Jr. ... the bass player's son. 24.116.252.2 (talk) 21:21, 16 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

In the 1980's Abe would perform regularly at Church On The Way in Van Nuys, CA. He was one of many professional musicians who attended there, and it was a real privilege to see him perform regularly there, both in church and in other church-related events.
