Barry Gray was an influential American radio personality, often labelled as "The Father of Talk Radio". He was born as Bernard Yaroslaw in Red Lion, New Jersey, into a Jewish family. Initially a disc jockey, Gray was working for New York's WMCA in 1945 when he, bored one evening with simply spinning music, decided to put the telephone receiver up to his microphone and share his conversation with the listening audience.
