While their soul-soothing harmonies filled radio waves across America for three decades, The Family mysteriously stepped away from gospel's center stage - until now. In this episode of Up Close and In Focus, Kerry Douglas sits with the legendary group as they share the untold story behind their extended absence, even as their music shaped generations of gospel listeners. Around the table, Pastor Darrell Blair and Dalon Collins unveil life's harsh detours - from Collins battling a year without walking or singing to Blair balancing church leadership with his musical calling. The episode takes an unexpected turn when producer Ernest J. Lee shares how divine orchestration brought him full circle, from playing the organ at their early shows to now crafting their comeback single "Jesus Jesus" for the Love Mountain soundtrack. The conversation flows through themes of timing and tenacity, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how one of gospel's most influential groups is stepping back into their purpose to complete what they started 30 years ago.
