A TOUCH OF THE QUEEN: ‘QBH 1400 INSPIRATION TIME
INSPIRATION TIME * Thursday, January 15, 1987 * WQBH
_______________
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.

— SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT —
A special THANK YOU to Diane Lewis Steinberg (Martha Jean’s daughter) — for sharing this WQBH radio memory featuring Martha Jean — recorded 33 years ago — with Motor City Radio Flashbacks.
