Time flies at the Jersey shore. 50 years of Jerry Blavat and Memories in Margate.
The place to be on Amherst Ave along the bay since 1972.
Let’s take a look at the amazing life of the Big Boss with the hot sauce, the Geator with the heater.
From [WIKIPEDIA]
In 1953, Blavat debuted on the original Bandstand on WFIL-TV with Bob Horn.
The Geator got his start in radio in 1960.
From 1965 to 1967, Blavat produced and hosted a weekly television show in Philadelphia called The Discophonic Scene, a dance show.
He refused to follow a playlist, “playing music from the heart, not a research chart.”
Guest-starred on television shows including The Mod Squad and The Monkees.
In 1993, Blavat inducted into Philadelphia Music Alliance Hall of Fame.
In 1998, included in Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of exhibit in Museum of Radio and Records.
In 2002, inducted into Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia‘s “Hall of Fame”.
