Some may want to argue accuracy; just enjoy this biopic of Ralph "Petey" Greene. Greene(Don Cheadle)went from ex-con to outspoken iconic radio personality that gave hope and instilled pride in the black community of Washington, D.C. when turbulent times were taking its toll. Friend and producer Dewey Hughes(Chiwetel Ejiofor), who also reached radio iconic status, ran interference trying to keep distance between "Petey" and E.G. Sondering(Martin Sheen), owner of radio station WOL. It was the 1960's and "Petey" Greene brought "T-Town" to D.C. with his no-holds-barred directness expanding social consciousness between doses of some of the greatest soul music in the land. Great soundtrack featuring the likes of: Otis Redding, James Brown, Sam & Dave, Barbara Lewis, Clarance Carter, Booker T. & The M.G.s and The Chamber Brothers.
Also in the cast: Mike Epps, J. Miles Dale, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Cedric the Entertainer, Taraji P. Henson and Jeff Kassel. Kudos to director Kasi Lemmons.
