If you're from Philly/S. Jersey you know "The Geator", Jerry Blavat... a local icon & radio pioneer. He also owned a bar by the bay, Memories In Margate, for the past 50 yrs. Here's what John Oates once said about his influence. #RIPGeator

One year ago tomorrow, we lost @JerryBlavat #TheGeatorwiththeHeator! @jackybambam933 honors his life in Part 2 of his #JackysJukebox feature on @933WMMR by playing Jerry’s intro song from Tommy Ridgely and Jam Up from 1954. #RIPGeator @MemoriesMargate #wmmrftv

The Isely Brothers’ Twist and Shout was used during a video montage/bump during tonight’s Eagles game. Wonder if they realize Jerry Blavat was the first guy ever to play it on the radio #RIPGeator


Jonesy is playing a killer set right now on @WFMU . #RIPGeator


Damn. News did not travel to Chicago. Jerry was an American original — a phenomenon that could only be formed in Philly. He commanded a full page in The Catalog of Cool. #RIPGeator


Called me and my wife "yon teens" despite that we're both well into our 40s. Possibly Philly's saddest day. #RIPGeator

True Delco story. He came to my grandmothers funeral luncheon and performed. It was an absolute banger!! #RIPgeator


I was down in the Dirty Jerz in July and heard him on the radio live from Memories in Margate. I was pleasantly surprised he was still alive. And I'll never forget seeing him on an episode of The Monkees. I'd thought he was just a local legend. #RIPGeator

Born in South Philadelphia to a Jewish father and Italian mother, music ran through his veins from childhood. "The Geator" was widely known as one of the early rock-and-roll DJs who revolutionized the profession and developed the "oldies" format. 6abc.cm/3J3m4XJ

The Boss with the Hot Sauce 🔥 #RIPGeator

My heart is heavy as I post this. My true champion Jerry Blavat the “Geator” made his transition! From the beginning of my recording career he kept my music playing on his radio show. My prayer is that he now truly will Rest in Peace.

Legendary, with a profound knowledge of American music history, and a profound libido. RIP to the Boss With the Hot Sauce. Respect #RIPGeator #giveherthewood

I’m heartbroken at the loss of ‘The Boss with the Hot Sauce’, my very good friend the incomparable Jerry Blavat. ‘The Geator with the Heater’ will forever live in our hearts. Rest in Peace ‘My Man.’ Lots of love, Deana Martin
