Barrington "Barry G" Gordon (26 Sep 1955– 29 Oct 2025), legendary #Jamaican disc jockey, radio personality, and master of ceremonies, born 71 years ago today, in St. Mary. Widely regarded as one of #Jamaica’s most influential broadcasters ever. Gordon attended Kingston College before joining the state-owned Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) in the late 1970s as a producer. He rose to prominence hosting Soapbox, a daily vox-pop programme, and the Saturday night Boogie Down Show, from which he took his enduring nickname, "the Boogie Man." Gordon achieved national stardom in the 1980s as host of 2 To 6 Supermix, a four-hour afternoon programme that made him Jamaica's top-rated disc jockey. He gained international recognition through his good-natured on-air "sound clashes" with British broadcaster David Rodigan, beginning in 1983, which built audiences across the United States, United Kingdom, and Japan. He is credited with helping launch the careers of dancehall artists including Yellowman and Beenie Man. After leaving JBC in 1987, Gordon worked at Radio Jamaica, Power 106, KLAS FM, and Hot 102, before a later career revival at Mello FM in Montego Bay. In 2010, he was appointed to the Order of Distinction for his contributions to broadcasting.
