Nancy Quill likes to think of herself as your at-work companion. Her natural style helps her build a true rapport with her listeners. When MAGIC 106.7 went on the air in January 1982, the very first "hello" was from Nancy Quill. Now, almost 30 years later, more than a million people hear Nancy every week. She has the longest-running show of any woman on the radio in any top-ten market in America. Nancy is a ratings superstar, constantly holding the #1 position. She has also won a Boston Achievement In Radio award.

A graduate of the University of Lowell with a degree in music education, Nancy is a gifted singer, songwriter, pianist and poet. She has starred in MAGIC's TV commercial and is the voice of the station. That MAGIC WHISPER you hear between songs a couple of times every hour is Nancy's. Her voiceover work can be heard across the country.

Nancy grew up in a radio family. The daughter of Doris Quill and the late Joe Quill, former owner and general manager of WRLM in Taunton, Nancy has stayed true to her father’s words of wisdom: “Always be yourself on the radio.” In memory of her father, Nancy works tirelessly to raise money and awareness as a member of the Advisory Board of the Alzheimer’s Association of Massachusetts and serves as radio spokesperson for this market.

Whitney Houston had an extraordinary voice. She was as comfortable with the soft ballad as she was with a high energy belting style. Anyone who has tried knows that singing like Whitney is a challenge! Mariah, Beyonce, Christina and others since her have continued the Whitney legacy.

 

I didn't completely sign on to the disco scene, but there was something about Donna Summer. She had some great songs and “heaven knows”, I danced to so many of them. Her sultry rich voice was like no other.

 

I had been listening to Robin Gibb's music since I was in ...
