Host of
The Gospel Show

This Cancer is fascinated by ordinary people who conquer extraordinary
circumstances. Then she should be fascinated by herself! Webb has only been
at WHUR seven years, but her gospel show is still one of the most listened
to shows in the country!
Gospel is her favorite type of music, but she frowns
on music with negative lyrics. Her favorite song is "Through the
Storm" by
Yolanda Williams and she claims Richard Smallwood as her favorite artist.
Her most embarrassing radio
moment was when she overslept and caused disaster over at WILD in Boston.
When she was a teenager, she had the responsibility of turning the station
on to start its broadcast day. Well, she was such a nervous wreck that she couldn't
sleep the night before. So, she overslept; but... "Sonny Jo White was very
understanding" she says.
