Keep On Rocking: Remembering Jerry “The Geator” Blavat, radio icon, gone at 82

Hey you “yon teens” and future “yon teens,” take a one-hour ride into the musical encyclopedic mind of legendary disc jockey, and Philadelphia icon Jerry Blavat. The Geator plays the roots of rock and roll, R&B, soul, Doo-Wop, and classic pop standards with a local slant that made Philly one of the great music cities of the world and inspired generations of rock and roll fans.

Playing “music from the heart, not a research chart,” the legendary DJ Jerry Blavat — “The Geator With The Heater” AKA “The Boss with the Hot Sauce”— spins the sounds and tells the stories behind the music, told in a way only The Geator can.

Until further notice, WXPN will be airing past episodes of The Geator’s Rock ‘n’ Roll, Rhythm & Blues Express from the archives.
