Vinyl Chickie Selling Late Philly Radio Legend's Christmas Music

GLENSIDE, PA — The late Philadelphia radio legend Pierre Robert won't be forgotten this holiday season.

Vinyl Chickie has begun selling some of Robert's Christmas music with permission from his estate.

Vinyl Chickie — the record store ranked as the best one in the Philadelphia region by "Philadelphia Magazine" — acquired some Christmas CDs that belonged in Robert's personal collection.

Owner Lisa Schaffer has decided to sell the CDs at $10. each (cash only) with all proceeds going to @northeastcommunityfridge, which a good friend of hers operates.

The CDs went on sale on Tuesday morning and will continue until they are sold out.

Philadelphia's music scene took a hit in late October when it was announced that the longtime 93.3 WMMR radio host had been found dead in his home at age 70.

Robert joined WMMR in 1981 and worked at the station until his death.

A true radio icon, Robert was one of the most recognized personalities in Philadelphia. He hosted the midday show with his unabashed love for music, his listeners, and the city.

The legendary rock radio personality was best known for his welcoming ‘Greetings Citizens’ salutation, along with his big heart and warm voice.

Robert often made appearances at the Keswick Theatre, where he recently introduced The Hooters just days before his death.
