Barry G was an icon on the radio when I lived in Jamaica in the 1980's and had a very loyal following.I remember Ronnie Twaites coming on immediately after him and one of Barry G's fans called in to talk to Barry G and Ronnie said, sorry but this is Ronnie T.
RIP Mr. Barry Gordon,you have earned your rest.

Barry was 2 to 6 supermix. Ronnie Twaites was earlier. I think it was Public Eye. It competed with Hotline (Dick Pixley then Barbara Gloudon)

Nice Memory though
Walk Good icon! Contemporaries like David Rodigon must be gutted. Heard that after a stroke some yrs ago BarryG took himself to Miami for medical assistance.
A Great KC man has left us.

Very sad..Barry G was a trendsetter ..I enjoyed listening to his programs back in the day…As Brezerk said those clashes with David Rodigan were epic…
I remember when he purchased a bright red convertible (or was it yellow?) - memory lapsing - and was the talk of the town.he also married the daughter of Hurry Hurry Sinclair (of Sinclair's Bargain Center fame)…walk good Barry G..
