WLQV is a radio station serving the Detroit, Michigan market. The station's fifty-thousand watt daytime signal on 1500 AM enables it to be heard from Michigan's Thumb area down to Northwest Ohio, and from Lansing, Michigan to Chatham, Ontario, Canada. WLQV has a Christian talk format.
WLQV first signed on as WJBK on October 7, 1925, licensed to nearby Ypsilanti, on 1290 kilocycles. Two years later, WJBK moved to 1360 and in 1930, to 1370. In 1940, WJBK was re-licensed to Detroit & to 1490 kc.. (An FM station at 93.1 was added in 1947, and is now WDRQ). In the late 1940s, WJBK produced one of Detroit's first radio personalities, or disk jockeys, in Ed McKenzie, known as "Jack the Bellboy". His late afternoon show, which combined the mainstream pop hits of the day with a good amount of R&B (or "race" music as it was referred to at the time), clicked with the youngsters and soon propelled him to #1 in the market. The station also launched the career of Casey Kasem.
Whatever happened to you
Telling the truth
Now this will be the hardest
Thing that I'll do
This conversation is getting old
Just so you know I thought
The world of you
Why couldn't you let me know
That you were begging for attention
Cause I wouldn't have let you go
(I need to leave this light obsession)
To hold you down
To watch you drown
I'm taking back
Every breath I've wasted on you
Whatever happened to the person you were
This war between us has been tearing us apart
My hands are stained, what can I do
This is the only thing that I have left
Why couldn't you let me know
That you were begging for attention
Cause I wouldn't have let you go
(I need to leave this light obsession)
To hold you down
To watch you drown
So lay back
(And watch me take this from you)
Let's make this count tonight
We'll turn out every light
Don't let me go, just let me take over
Don't let me take your time
Don't let me down
Let's make this count tonight
We'll turn out every light
Til you show me what you got
I gave you everything you asked
But now I'm taking it back
Let's make this count tonight
We'll turn out every light
Don't let me go, just let me take over
Don't let me take your time
Don't let me down
Let's make this count tonight
We'll turn out every light
Til you show me what you've got
And now there's nothing left
I'm taking back every promise I made
You can count on me
I'm taking back every promise I made
You can count on me for nothing
