MUSIC BUSINESS was previously a specialized magazine called “Country Music Reporter“, then evolved into “Music Reporter” in 1957, having transformed from a pure country publication into a mainstream music trade journal. It became Music Business by early 1964, assuming a new name. The weekly journal terminated publication immediately after the June 5, 1965 issue was published.

INSPIRATION TIME * Thursday, January 15, 1987 * WQBH
_______________
THE QUEEN
Martha Jean Steinberg.
The veteran Detroit radio ‘soul’ legend was known having devoted her air time speaking well of her fervent beliefs in God, spirituality, and of her faith. To instruct, uplift, and encourage (as well as admonish) with a devotion to inspire her Detroit audience daily (“Inspiration Time”) when she on the air at WJLB and on WQBH.
If this WQBH radio segment you may find all-too inspiring, this was what she did best — as no other — reaching out and delivering words of encouragement daily to her Detroit following on the radio dial.
The Queen, she loved nothing more than sharing a voice of reason, advice, and a call for love. Void of the radio “entertainment” segues on her shows, reaching out to a city she loved became her platform — having touched many souls — for nearly four decades Martha Jean was heard on the radio in the Motor City.
_______________
Martha Jean “The Queen” passed away on January 29, 2000.
