Barrington “Barry G” Gordon, a celebrated Jamaican broadcaster renowned for his vibrant personality and dynamic radio presence, passed away on October 29 at Savanna-la-Mar Hospital in Westmoreland. He was 70 years old. His long-time friend, Michael Chambers, confirmed the news, attributing his death to pneumonia. Barry G, a graduate of Kingston College, began his illustrious career at the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) in the late 1970s. He quickly rose to prominence with his Saturday night show, the Boogie Down Show, and later became Jamaica’s top disc jockey in the 1980s with his four-hour program, 2 To 6 Supermix. Barry G’s eclectic taste in music, spanning reggae and beyond, endeared him to audiences worldwide. His legendary radio clashes with British DJ David Rodigan, starting in 1983, catapulted him to international fame, particularly in dancehall-reggae markets in the U.S., U.K., and Japan. After leaving JBC in 1987, he continued his career at Radio Jamaica, Power 106, KLAS FM, and Hot 102, enjoying a resurgence at Mello FM in Montego Bay, where he worked for 11 years until 2021. In 2010, Barry G was honored with the Order of Distinction, Jamaica’s sixth-highest accolade, for his contributions to broadcasting.
