History

In October 1966, the station that is now WQEN signed on as WLJM-FM, licensed to Gadsden. The call letters stood for Lloyd, John and Mary Faye, the three children of original owner Charlie Boman. In 1974, WJLM was sold to Charles Smithgall and Mike McDougald who operated WAAX, also in Gadsden. In 1975, the FM station took its current call letters. After a brief run as an automated easy listening radio station, WQEN became one of the first FM Top 40 stations in Alabama, known on the air as "Super Q-104" and "Q-104 The Southern Super Giant". For nearly 40 years, WQEN has been a Top 40 station.

    My Baby

    by: Georgia Satellites

    There ain't nothin' like my baby
    There ain't nothin like my sweet baby
    There ain't nothin' in this world
    Now my baby, she never makes me feel sorry
    Never makes me afraid, a fool
    She won't waste my precious time of day
    Like some other girls like to do
    There ain't nothin' like my baby
    There ain't nothin' like my sweet baby
    There ain't nothin' in this world
    Now I know, I might seem a little bit sentimental
    I might be right out of time
    That just don't seem to matter much to me anymore
    That girl just loves so fine
    There ain't nothin' like my baby
    There ain't nothin' like my sweet baby
    There ain't nothin' in this world
    I never thought that I could be so lucky
    I can catch a falling star
    I never thought that I could know such sweet happiness
    But happiness is just what you are
    There ain't nothin' like my baby
    There ain't nothin' like my sweet baby
    There ain't nothin' in this world
    Don't I know?
    There ain't nothin' like my baby
    There ain't nothin' like my sweet baby
    There ain't nothin' in this world
    There ain't nothin' like, there ain't nothin' like
