🎙️ Iconic Motown era DJ Jerry Blavat Has died at age 82
I always looked forward to his regular live radio gig on WXPN out of UPenn in Philadelphia PA. He was still active right up to the very end. If you hear Aretha, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Shirelles, The Supremes, James Brown and so many more black music artists from their fledgling days of the 1950s and 1960s then you can thank The Geater who tirelessly promoted them on radio and in his music clubs boosting them into eternal stardom.
RIP man, thanks so ever much for the ride 😢
