Pamela Enzweiler-Pulice is on a mission to complete her documentary, “The Voice That Shook America: The Dick Biondi Film” on legendary Chicago radio disc jockey Dick Biondi.

Enzweiler-Pulice eventually became friends with Biondi, who gave the documentary his blessing; she interviewed him several times before he died last summer. She began the film project 10 years ago and has raised $175,000 in funding to date. He still has $30,000 more to cover remaining expenses such as licensing fees, color correction and sound balancing.

As such, she will screen the film at a fundraiser on November 14 at the Beverly Arts Center. The evening will also include a performance by the Fab-tones and a discussion about the film.

“I did this for Dick, and it’s my dream too,” said Enzweiler-Pulice, now based in Oswego.

The film chronicles a time that is difficult to imagine in the current era of streaming music which has largely diminished the role of traditional disc jockeys. It follows Biondi from his childhood in New York speaking into a wooden microphone, to his first concert in Louisiana (where he was dismayed by Jim Crow laws), to when he began attracting millions of listeners and to have a real effect on the careers of the non-Top 40 artists he chose to play. Biondi was the first to play the Beatles on the radio in the United States and helped boost the careers of Little Richard and Chuck Berry.

In his documentary, Enzweiler-Pulice interviews a host of industry figures who have highlighted Biondi’s career and influence, including former Sun-Times media columnist Robert Feder, Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson, and the bandleader/sidekick on “Late Night with David Letterman.” veteran musician Paul Shaffer, who donated to the project.

“If you were a kid in the early ’60s living in Chicago, you listened to Dick Biondi at night, period, because that’s what all your friends were talking about the next day,” said Feder, who wrote Biondi’s obituary for the Sun-Times.

Biondi, a proud Italian nicknamed the “Wild I-Tralian,” was fired 25 times during his 67-year career; he often argued with the management of the radio. The film is about a fight Biondi had with an executive who wanted to add more commercials to his program. He finished his career in Chicago, playing the hits he started with that became golden classics.
