A Philadelphia icon, he gained local fame hosting live dances in the area, leading to his own independent radio show, on which he introduced many acts in the 1960s to a wide audience, including the Four Seasons and the Isley Brothers. Several notable musicians who hailed from the Philadelphia suburbs, including Daryl Hall and Todd Rundgren, cited Blavat as inspiring their musical careers.

Tomorrow, July 4: Amos Elon
Jerry was an honest, decent, humble human being. He was grateful for his talents (He owned them; they did not own him.) He treated his fellow human beings equally with kindness and dignity. I miss him. My life was enriched because our paths met during his time on this earth. Jerry, alav ha shalom, made this world a better place
Happy birthday in heaven to my angel, my Jerry.
