For over 40 years, New Orleans native Reverend Raymond Branch shared his home and church recordings each week on Los Angeles' Rainbow Gospel Hour. Emanating from Inglewood's KTYM, the diminished late night signal and the program's pre-dawn scheduling, followed by KTYM's subsequent removal of musical programs from its streaming service, made hearing Rev. Branch's broadcasts almost impossible for most listeners. Our hope was that this site would go some way toward rectifying that.

In 2014, Rev. Branch retired the historic broadcast upon learning KTYM would be changing ownership and format. Archival tapes of Rev. Branch's shows will continue to be posted here.

Rev. Branch previously recorded as "Ray Branch and His Guitar" on his own Branch Bros. Records label. If you own those 45s, we would very much appreciate copies in any format for our archives.

Rev. Branch passed away in September 2017. This archive continues in his memory.
