Kaye was born in Baltimore, Maryland.[1] He served in the US Air Force during the Korean War and was stationed in Morocco where he met his wife Suzanne in 1958.[2]
Kaye began his radio career in Providence in the late 1950s, where Krimski became "Jeff Krimm," then "JK the DJ" on WHIM (1110) and WRIB (1220-AM). By 1961, he had caught the attention of WBZ (AM-1030) station executives, who brought him on as part of the Westinghouse Broadcasting-owned station's transition from the middle-of-the-road "Live Five" to a more aggressive top-40 music programming format.[3]
As program director of WKBW, he produced the station's adaptation of The War of the Worlds.[4] For his work on NFL Films, Kaye won several Sports Emmy Awards. He also narrated the Chicago Bulls' first championship documentary, "Learning To Fly", as well as a history of DePauw University football, "A Tradition of Excellence."
