It’s a Philly thing. Low Cut Connie’s Adam Weiner remembers DJ Jerry Blavat with a tribute song to the “Geator With the Heater.”
Blavat was different from most disc jockeys though. He refused to stick to playlists and insisted on spinning the original songs by Black artists, some of them obscure, instead of the white remakes. In Philadelphia, listeners were exposed to Frankie Lymon, Lloyd Price, and the city’s own the Delfonics, as well as Little Richard, Aretha Franklin, and Dionne Warwick, who traveled to Philly to speak at Blavat’s service. “Jerry would not change his format.
Weiner shines a light on Blavat’s idiosyncratic patter with a Low Cut Connie tribute song, arriving on streaming services this week for the first time. Weiner wrote and recorded “Low Cut Strut,” subtitled “Strut That Ass Right Back to Class,” as a blank canvas for the Geator to do his thing. He came up with the subtitle as an homage to one of Blavat’s own hits, “One More Time Back to School,” in which Blavat mourned the end of summer and the return to books and “teacher’s dirty looks.
