    Like a fine wine, his voice got better with age. Compare this performance to one on here from 1965 of the same song and you will likely agree.

    When I was a little boy my mother used to play this in the house, obviously when I got older I didn't listen to it anymore now I'm 60 years old and I have to say with all the religious music that I've heard in the past this band seems closer to anything to our Lord than anything ever heard except maybe cowboy copies.

    My parents used to often play this song on the hifi when I was only 4 or 5 and in the last 15 years I have been searching for it with no luck because I didn’t know who the singers were and I had thought it was called Heaven fell last night! Which is one of the songs but not my favourite. I love this song brings back fond memories of my parents who are no longer around

    This song always reminded our mother of our father Jimmy whitsett. Little did we know that in his short life it would indeed fit his life. I listen to this with tears as both our mother and father have passed. He to met my mother in a small valley community and were married in a small country chruch. He became a preacher but at the age of 42 he was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer and died five days later. His funeral was held in a small town chruch not any bigger than a village and many turned out to say their goodbyes. Our Mother passed away a few years back, and it won't be long before I too will go to join them . This song did cause my eyes to fiil with tears but yet at the same time it was heartwarming to listen to it, because it takes me back when both were here and all was happy. We didn't have a lot, never wanted a lot, but our valley called eagle creek was indeed the happiest times of my two sisters and myself lifes , and all the love and kindness shown from the people of eagle creek valley we could always know and feel from the people who lived there the love and caring for each other as well you could feel the goodness in each and everyone of them. It was the best days of our life's and we were very blessed to have them and to look back now sometimes its sad because everything changes but we will always cherish and treasure those memories.

    My mother in law sang with her brother and sister (the Singing Beavers) on The Big D Jamboree in Dallas. They met the Browns and became good friends with them. Even though there were years where they didn't see each other Judy remained good friends with them. Sadly all 6 of them are gone now. I never got to hear Judy and her siblings sing together but I have loved the Browns ever since I heard this song for the first time as a youngster.

    About 10 years ago my folks were fortunate to see Jim Ed Brown and his sisters perform. My parents ran into Jim as everyone was leaving. Mom and Jim began talking and found out that they were from the same area of their youth. Mr. Brown was so kind to my folks and invited them to have supper in a small diner with he and his sisters. My folks and the Browns ended up talking most of the night away. My mom passed away on Aug 11, 2016. She frequently spoke of that evening and this song was played for her funeral. I find myself smiling at the thought of them talking each other’s ears off now.

Sometimes it is in a child's laugh, the antics of a silly dog, the magnificence of the Tetons, an incredible painting-and sometimes it is int the beauty of voices, blended smooth like velvet-and those voices are as FINE as they were so many years ago. Hey-Jim Ed looks more like Andy Griffith every day!

I am 80 now and I always enjoyed the Brown's on the Grand Old Opry and they still have the great sounds, to bad Jim has gone on to be with all of the great Country singers. I have a wonderful collection of most of our real CM artist from the 40's to 80's when it started to change, to bad.

    I guess that the Browns were a perfect top pick for siblings harmony .They were the best in their time along in country music. The closest man with the beautiful voice compared to Jim Reeves was Jim Ed Brown the lead singer for the Browns who came out with pop a top again. He went on singing on his own and was a very accomplished singer . Country music isn't the same anymore and the old time country will live on with legends such as the Browns.
