On this episode of Our American Stories, sisters Betsy and Elaine Brumley tell the story of their father, Bob, and the family legacy he carried forward from his father, gospel songwriter Albert E. Brumley, who wrote classics like “I’ll Fly Away” and “Turn Your Radio On.” From a music publishing base in Powell, Missouri, Bob kept the Brumley catalog alive through decades of change, from songbooks and live singings to film, television, and streaming. It’s the Brumley family story, and a portrait of how great American gospel music gets preserved, one generation at a time.
