WMJC as Magic 95
With an ERP of 3000 Watts, 95.3 could be reached as far west as Kalamazoo and was Changed to a Top-40 station as WMKG then would switch to WMJC as "Magic 95" these calls came from 94.7 FM in Detroit now WCSX. The ratings would prove the best of this frequency has seen. Top-40 Powerhouse WKFR was dominant mostly due to its signal on 103.3 FM which would reach as far as Jackson to Benton Harbor. In the late 1990s the station began to take a more rhythmic sound similar to how WGRD was in the' 90s. Capstar would introduce the station as "B95" WBXX.
WBXX as B95
As WBXX "B95", 95.3 FM was a very popular CHR/Top 40 station in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Despite the station's high ratings (especially with younger listeners), B95 was unsuccessful in terms of revenue because it played hip-hop and rap music that was unpopular with local advertisers. This led the station to change format to oldies and later adult contemporary; the latter format now continues on 104.9 FM.

Man

Spring Is Alive
Spring is alive
In Carolina
Deep in the forest
Where the foxfire glows
High on a mountain
Down in a holler
Thunder and lightning
So it goes
Over a hundred years ago
We came to Carolina
Far across the water
It's a long hard road
With little more than courage
We came seeking independence
A little less than nothin'
Is a heavy load
From the heather of the highlands
We have found the Smokie Mountains
Hard work and simple ways
And life is good
life is good
Spring is alive
In Carolina
Deep in the forest
Where the foxfire glows
High on a mountain
Down in a holler
Thunder and lightning
So it goes
You Are
You are every morning sunrise
You are every rain
You are every peal of laughter
You are every cry of pain
You are all the summer flowers
You are all the falling leaves
You are everyone rejoicing
You are everyone who greaves
You are all my unknown secrets
You are all my hidden fears
You are known in lover's kisses
You are seen in childhood tears
You are where the stars are shining
You are where the rainbow ends
You are why the war is over
You are how the peace begins
Whisper the Wind
Whisper the wind over the water
Whisper the wind all through the night
Whisper the wind along the canyon
Whisper the wind into the night
Whisper the wind Brothers and sisters
Whisper the wind all the same
Whisper the wind love one another
Whisper the wind your precious name
Spring Is Alive (Reprise)
Spring is alive
In Carolina
Deep in the forest
Where the foxfire glows
High on a mountain
Down in a holler
Thunder and lightning
So it goes
Over a hundred years ago
We came to Carolina
Far across the water
It's a long hard road
With little more than courage
We came seeking independence
A little less than nothin'
Is a heavy load
From the heather of the highlands
We have found the Smokie Mountains
Hard work and simple ways
And life is good
life is good
Spring is alive
In Carolina
Deep in the forest
Where the foxfire glows
High on a mountain
Down in a holler
Thunder and lightning
So it goes
