‘QBH 1400 INSPIRATION TIME: A TOUCH OF THE QUEEN
INSPIRATION TIME * “Reach Up And Touch Your Song” (w/James Cleveland) * WQBH
A TOUCH of THE QUEEN
___
The Queen
The Detroit radio ‘soul’ legend was known having devoted her air time speaking well of her fervent beliefs in spirituality, and her faith. To instruct, uplift, and encourage (as well as admonish) with a devotion to inspire her Detroit audience daily (“Inspiration Time”) while 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 — delivering words for encouragement.
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 on the radio in Detroit.
The Queen. Remembered Today
