Universal City, Calif. : Universal Studios Home Entertainment, c2007.
Washington, D.C., in the mid-to-late 1960s, vibrant soul music and exploding
social consciousness were combining to become a unique and powerful effect. It
was the place and time for Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene, Jr. to fully
express himself and "tell it like it is." With the support of his
irrepressible and tempestuous girlfriend Vernell, the new ex-con talks his way
into an on-air radio gig. He forges a friendship and a partnership with Dewey
Hughes. From the first wild morning on the air, Petey relies on the more
straight-laced Dewey to run interference at WOL-AM, where Dewey is the program
director. At the station, Petey quickly becomes an iconic radio personality.
Combining biting humor with social commentary, Petey openly courts controversy
for station owner E.G. Sonderling. Petey was determined to make not just himself
but his community heard during this turbulent period in American history. As
Petey's voice, humor, and spirit surge across the airwaves with the vitality of
the era, listeners tune in to hear not only incredible music but also a man
speaking directly to them about race and power in America. Through the years,
Petey's style, on- and off-air - would redefine both Petey and Dewey, and
empower each to become the man he would most like to be.
