The Queen Remembered
INSPIRATION TIME * “Touching Words” * WQBH
___
‘Touching Words’
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
___
The Queen. The Detroit radio ‘soul’ legend is best known for having devoted much of her air time speaking well of her spiritual faith, to instruct, uplift, and encourage (as well as admonish) with a devotion to inspire her Detroit audience daily (“Inspiration Time”) while at WJLB and WQBH.
If this WQBH radio segment you will find inspiring, this is what she did best. The Queen, she loved nothing more than sharing a word of reason, advice, encouragement, and sharing a word of “love.” Void of the usual radio “entertainment” on her shows, this was what The Queen was best loved and was known for during the four decades Martha Jean was on the radio in Detroit.
