    Gotta flash back good music like this now and then. The Browns recorded this country masterpiece in 1959- and i would bet this show and recording was done 40+ years later-They never lost a Beat. All 3 died within 4years of each other 2015-2019- Bless em all.

    If you listened to any popular music station in the U.S. in the late 50's you'd hear this. Listen to the message! Is there ANYTHING on any popular music station as uplifting? That's how you know humanity has gone downhill.

    Jim Ed Brown probably had the second best male voice ever in country music. The greatest male voice belonged to Gentleman Jim Reeves.

      Connie Smith Connie, what a special moment this was. Jim Ed, Maxine, and Bonnie were in near-perfect harmony. The nostalgia was overwhelming. Chet Atkins concealed his emotions pretty well, but he was truly touched, almost overcome. The loss of Jim Ed Brown is incalculable. Nashville is in mourning. The final curtain is coming down now. I am thankful I was here to witness country music in all of its glory.

    There right it's hard to touch the browns harmonies amazing so many of these performers from 70s and back still had it 50 years later. You can tell from seeing all the performers how much they were respected. I was watchin one of these the other night as great as the music is i love hearing all the random stories.

    • @ingridmaier5864
      @ingridmaier5864 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      My absolute favorite was Marty Robbins (I have everything from him). I can remember, the first record I ever bought, at the age of 11, was "Devil woman". Do you remember his ballads, "El paso, El paso city, Feelena", or his beautiful love songs "Love me, Begging to you, My woman, my woman, my wife" and and and. I can´t name them all. And when I was not in a good mood, I had one favorite to get me "up" again, "Tonight Carmen", it made me dance through the house (and if I´m honest - it still does).
      And there are many other names next to Jim Ed Brown: Bill Anderson, Jim Reeves, Tammy Wynette, George Jones, Larry Gatlin, Gene Watson, Johnny Cash, Johnny Horton, Jean Shepard, Jan Howard, Ferlin Husky and Billie Jo Spears. Here I can´t name them all either. We do have a few of the "old" ones left: Vince Gill, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Ricky Van Shelton, Rosanne Cash.
      It´s so sad that people think they have to "change" everything, even music. But maybe I´m just too old to understand it.....

    My mother used to play Jimmy’s songs when I was a very young boy and for years I have looked for the browns music! The only thing I could remember was the words ( Heaven fell last night) couldn’t remember who sung it! The words to that song has stuck in my brain all these years. I eventually found out who it was sung by a few years ago on TH-cam, unfortunately my mother passed away long before so I wasn’t able to let her listen to the browns singing again. Would have loved to have seen her face! We lived in a country that never played any of Jimmy’s songs on the radio.

    Gee- i think they are all "in Heaven now"- That song on this Tv program is probably 40, even 50 years later after Jim Ed, Bonnie and Maxine Brown did the original classic "The Three Bells' . They didn't lose a beat- Fantastic. There's only a few of the Legends left-Loretta Lynn, George Strait and a few others. Today's country for the most part isn't there anymore.
