Many Thanks. Just a fantastic video.

What I find so 'fantastic' is Jim Ed still sounds like he did 40 years back.

Thanks again

[mick59707]

About 50 years ago i heard this on the picup from my uncle,never on the radio,but always in my memory,a treasure for life!!

[WALRU11]

True talent is eternal! The Browns have been blessed with a vocal beauty that simply captivates the heart more than a half-century later. Incredible. Ensemble singing that makes each moment something of supernal magic. Thank you for giving grace to this day by the gift of your singing.

[DCartRow]

Gee.....They are undoubtably old here but they can indubitably still kick some ass!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat stuff!!!!

[jimidee33]

Pure magic! Love the Browns.

[heidi405]

very nice

[darrell1934]

What a beautiful song by a terrific trio!

[ivycompton]

This song scared me as a little kid - not sure why, but it does have a haunting mood. Nice to see the Browns have still got it here.

[Stkrista1024]

You cant beat harmony like the Browns, they still sound like they did when I was a kid in the 60"s. I loved Scarlett Ribbons by them, i have several favorites by them.

[TheLadyEveSidwich]

I've met Maxine a few times. Unrelated to her music history. It's neat to hear this!

[stone123er]

i talked to maxine 1 day ago she is doing good i love there music

[1Fixx]

My dad would sing this wonderful song to me when I was a little boy.

[stone123er]

[stone123er]

@kajunmoon no not anymore he is great i talked to him on the phone 3 days ago

[mollymitch1]

@stone123er You have a family to be proud of. Such beautiful music and a wonderful song by a great group.

[AnnihilationISTRUE]

Such a GR8 music video ~ Thanks so much for adding this treasure for all to enjoy during this 'digital revolution'. I grew up on this kind of music during the 'baby boomer' generation of the 50s & 60s & it was played on the radio all the time. This recording was one of my all-time favorites. Radio station KAAM in D/FW still plays the standards & especially this one frequently. For more goodies such as this, listen online at Kaamradio/com Twitter @KAAMRADIO

[cussos58]

i had forgotten just how good music was back then and the BROWNS really stood out when i was a kid this video proves true talent never fades

[emma1981catlover]

Maxine is on facebook , just to let you know

[paulescott67]

This song brings back so many wonderful memories, who will ever forget the era of music this was made in.

[arizonaghost1]

Please enjoy these wonderful talents...they will soon be gone....god bless them!

[Kammler03]

Thank u so much for giving me some hope this evening !!!

such a beautiful song !! its means much to me to see,how they look today !!

take care,everyone !!!

very best regards+thanx again !!!

[emma1981catlover]

what programm was this on

[starkid712]

@emma1981catlover This is from the PBS special "Country Pop Legends," recorded in 2006 at Belmont University in Nashville.

[emma1981catlover]

@starkid712 thankyou

[starkid712]

@emma1981catlover You're welcome!

[almamatters2471]

I looked up "The Browns" after reading an article in Entertainment Weekly that referred to them as "has beens" and forgotten....To me, artists such as these are never has beens. Their voices are beautiful and will never get "old". Thanks for the upload.

[starkid712]

@almamatters2471 They'll never be forgotten by their fans. That article you referred to was probably the one publicizing the fictionalized story of their life that's recently been published called "Nashville Chrome" & written by Rick Bass. Their music is timeless and classic.

[emma1981catlover]

love it love it love it

[dan10on]

Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

[jekiwe]

classic for sure and thank you "memories" for sharing. i agree with jessilu, they still sounded very good whenever this "live" performance took place. Hard to find family harmony that beats this trio.

[000032r]

Thanks for memories

[briartlaw]

Thanks for posting ..

[mick59707]

wat een stemmen,klasse!

als zo'n 50 jaar geleden maar zit altijd in mijn gedachten,wat een verademing dat veel van deze muziek op youtube te vinden is,te gek.

[nightgrooveruk]

[chocolatechip1952]

THEY DO NOT MAKE GREAT MUSIC LIKE THIE ANY MORE> What a Shame

[sinfulscool]

They sound better than they ever have!!

[onemooners]

Man,they didnt lose it. still got it

[luvut]

Love the Browns.

Jim Ed has such a great voice.

Thanks for this video.

[davesnouffer]

Not just classic country........classic beauty!

[lumpher]

[slabxb2]

I had this on my DVR for over a year and the cable company errased it....THANKS SO MUCH!

[jessilu]

OMG my heart leapt when I saw this. I never thought I would ever see the Browns singing live again! Their voices are as sweet and harmonious as they were when they were young, and the ladies are just as pretty as ever!

Thank you Memories, you've made my day!

[SuZ1946]

Thanks so much for a wonderful memory of my childhood. My parents played this often and it is still one of my favorite songs. SuZ

[QWZXM]

Oh my, so many memories-Greetings from Nfld. Canada.

[wildcat626]

This is absolutely beautiful!!! It just doesn't get any better than this... they still sound so amazing.

[Memories64]

I have no idea when it was taped RXBA3U5, I will upload the only other Browns video that I have. I love Jim Ed Brown. Thank you for rating :-)

[jonibaloney2003]

@Memories64 Wiki says: In 2006, the Browns reunited to perform "The Old Lamplighter" and "The Three Bells" for the PBS special, Country Pop Legends.

[Chuckv57]

@Memories64 This was shown in the 2006 PBS special Classic Country....Just saw this show last week...

[RXBA3U5]

This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much for posting this great performance.

The family harmony is still there.

Do you know when was it taped?
