Alton and Rabon Delmore created a sound of close harmonies which, along with their songwriting and musical talents, made them stars of the Grand Ole Opry in the 1930s. The Delmore Brothers introduced “boogie woogie” to traditional hill music that led to rockabilly, the forerunner of rock and roll. The library houses the largest collection of Delmore Brothers memorabilia in Alabama. Artifacts include awards, family photographs and original recordings donated by the Demore family.
