R&B was just the starting point, really. WHUR stitched together a sound from quiet storm’s smooth, late-night feel, the gospel-infused soul that churches in D.C. pump out, and the go-go rhythms that are pure Washington. They took all that-the romantic slow jams, the spiritual roots, and the funky, percussive beat of the city-and made it feel like home, not just a radio format.
