Anyone have video from "Jerry's Place" on wfil-tv (Ch. 6) in Philly in the late 60's? Can't find it anywhere.

[trollymay]

teaser!

[DetroitLives313]

Ahhhhhh,,,,!!!! That's Jerry Blavats! A Philly legend He was still on the radio when I lived in Philadelphia back in the 80's! He was also still throwing parties back then.

[TwelveFortySix]

I'm only 33, but I love listening to his show on 92.1. Listen to it every weekday at work, 5pm sharp. It's my last hour before I leave for the day and gets me through the final moments!

Love ya Geator!!!

[quieterrps]

About 12-15 years ago I went down to Florida for the first time in my life. I had already been listening to Jerry for about that long. Well as my brother is just finishing putting his cycle in the back of our transit... who pulls up at the light but the Geator in the Geatormobile! Perfect timing. Five minutes later we were on our way. It was like straight outta my own American Graffiti!

I just pointed and said You... are mah main man and he said the same!

Awesome character!

[quieterrps]

Man I can't thank you enough for all this footage of Mah Man, Pots And Pans!!

I've looked for footage of the Discophonic Scene for ages and to find such great clips w/ Martha & The Vandellas no less. The Geator is a treasure!

[PatricioBridges]

Me and my buddy Ron Falcone would go to Che Vous every week. Jerry was a gas, it was good clean fun back in those days. Thank God for YouTube to bring back the memories.

[DaddyClb]

This vid is a priceless gem! As a yon-teen I faithfully traveled from Lancaster, PA to Philadelphia to Wagner's & Chevous Ballroom just for "The Geator's" dances, and would return to Lancaster with all the hot, new Philly steps, including the "Wagner Walk"...anyone remember that one? Great post...thanx for sharing!!!

My sister and I never missed a show on TV all through high school when we were "yon teens". Many great Philly sound groups were first heard on Jerry Blavat's show. My high school had a strong clique of "jive" kids who all dressed in the Lit Bros. discophonic scene style. Jerry was the Big Boss the the Hot Sauce! Kids today just don't have this much fun!

[LeanaHM76]

I have an old LIFE Magazine that has a story about him, back in the mid 60's. Wow!

[mimi2957]

After all these years, it just occurred to  me - the geater with the heater??? What does it mean?

[johncduff]

I always heard that "Geator" was a play on the word Gator (as in alligator) because his music sort of pounced on you, like a Gator. I always wondered this myself, and heard this explanation in a Philly Magazine article that was done on the Geator several years ago.

I am from baltimore, but lived in Philly in the 60s as a kid, and I thought the Geator was long gone. He is still doing his thing, going strong.

[mimi2957]

Nice to hear he's still kicking. (Especially because it was starting to look like nobody famous was going to survive this past June!)

[italobambino43]

Well, he is a fast talking Geator, A local street term! He was a disc jockey and MC, the "Geator with the heater", the heater being his mouth!

[Faybalina]

My dad was on this show!!! He use to tell me stories about it. Now I know what he's talking about, this is great!

[PollyPeachum3penny]

My father is from Philly and he sent me this video to show me what he used to do/watch. I have to admit that I'm jealous of his generation for having such fun stuff to do.

[italobambino43]

I was born right around this time, I watched these reruns as a kid in the 70's, your right, they had fun back then, and no one killed anyone either! Yeah, there were fights and mischief, yet, people still respected each other and there property!

[loucacciot]

Good Job! Thanks :)

[LarryLawfer]

Half hour to do this, you are a professional and put us all to shame. You da man!

[lashawntee]

Phillys on The Big Boss with the Hotsauce!!!!

[MusicManKevin]

Jerry Blavat owns the rights to his TV shows - therefore, he has the footage.

[LooMinn]

Love those Yon Teens! We are very blessed in Philly to have had Jerry "The Boss with the big hot sauce" Blavat. Philly rocked with The Geator and other greats such as Joe Niagra and Hy Lit.

[SchuylkillPunch]

Tom and Jerry-O's "Boo-Ga-Loo" (1965)

[oshoferson]

what is the name of the song on this video?

[Parryprime]

Unbelievable that the Geator is here..! Great Video!

[kpitt1204]

This is great stuff. Where did the footage come from? Love the styles back then. Everyone looked so classy.

[AuntKeely]

This is from Ben Vaughn's unreleased documentary on the Geator. Jerry gave him the footage from the few clips he has of his old Discophonic Scene TV show.
