The aspiration for WAJM 102.2 was to give exposure to quartet music artists who would not have the opportunity to be heard unless they paid for their music to be serviced. Founder Jermaine Mickey created a show called “Quartet Hour” which showcases and interviews aspiring artists of quartet music. Recognized guest artists who have been interviewed on the Quarter Hour such as the legendary Joe Ligon from “The Mighty Clouds of Joy.” The show hosts are Jermaine Mickey, Randy Gill the brother of Johnny Gill, and Dawn Kelly. The show offers the latest in quartet news and trending quartet music in the industry. The show is comical and appealing to all listening audiences. 

Black gospel quartets can be traced back to plantation life in the South (According to Alan young in his book Woke Me Up This Morning, the first reference to black gospel quartets was made in 1851), the "modern" quartets were born in the late 1920s and early 1930s with the emergence of groups like the Heavenly Gospel Singers (1934) and most notably, The Golden Gate Quartet (influenced by the Mills Brothers) of Norfolk, Virginia -- Norfolk was often referred to as the "home of the quartet".

​

Within black gospel circles, the quartet format still thrives, with Ligon and Tucker, still at the helms of the Clouds and the Birds, respectively. The Best of from the Mighty Clouds of Joy, The Dixie Hummingbirds and the Five Blind Boys, doesn't simply compile a collection of gospel hits, but in some ways, helps to better document a tradition that is slowing disappearing from the general memory of the American public.
