Here is Joe Gaines at a glance as it appears on Descarga.com:
Joe Gaines "Born in Brooklyn, Joe attended New York University before briefly pursuing a career in the fashion industry. His love of music developed into a desire to become a disc jockey in the area of Latin music.
After completing his studies at the New York School of Announcing and Speech, Joe went on to intern with some of the greatest disc jockeys in salsa music, including Dick "Ricardo" Sugar and the incomparable "Symphony Sid" Torin. In 1971, Joe launched one of the most successful Latin radio shows ever, "The Joe Gaines Express Show."
After many years in radio, Joe went on to other career pursuits, but his love of music brought him back to the radio waves in 1993 with the rebirth of his radio show on WCNJ-FM 89.3 and 91.9 in New Jersey. "I grew up in Brooklyn with my parents and my two brothers," Joe recalls. "I'll always remember the fun we had listening to music in our home. Our tastes ranged from the big band sounds of the 40s to the oldies but goodies of the 50s and 60s, but my greatest appreciation and love was for salsa music.
My father, who was a great lover of music, encouraged me to develop my talents and helped me to appreciate the meaning and expression that salsa music conveyed. I remember that as a young man out of high school, I wanted nothing more than to listen to, dance to and live for salsa music."
