does anybody know the history behind the song? was it written for Jim Eds' father perhaps? just curious. I recall hearing it as a kid and have loved it ever since. one of their best, along with scarlet ribbons and the old lamplighter.
No, the song was not written by, nor for, the Browns. This is from Wikipedia: It was based on the 1945 French language song "Les trois cloches" by Jean Villard Gilles and Marc Herrand. The English lyrics were written by Bert Reisfeld and first recorded by Melody Maids in 1948. The song was a major 1952-53 hit by Edith Piaf and Les Compagnons de la chanson.
In today's troubled world in which war, sadly, dominate the headlines, these are such beautiful oldies with beautiful voices as well as here on the Browns, good for the heart and soul. Thank you for uploading from Germany.
It is wonderful to hear this song again. I grew up in the province of Quebec with the french version of Edith Piaf and their rendition. Just beautiful! :o)
This song has always left me speechless after i listen. It's so beautiful yet sad. I listen to all types of music. from classical, "old" country, very little rap. blue grass and heavy metal. and play music as well. Keep in mind that im 32 years old. so im a youngster at best. But In this fast paced time we now live in, regardless of musical preference or cultural diversity. I can stop and recognize something as wonderful as this song. and note it as true music. I have shared tears with this song
This song definitely elicits an emotional response from many people. My good friends, the Crystalairs (a German doo-wop group) did a song several years ago that I was slightly involved with. It is called "Slow Down" and the song has a special meaning to me, and some others who have heard it. Search on YouTube for Crystalairs, Slow Down.
@snipercheese This song has brought tears to my eyes for so many years I can't even say. The old lamplighter and scarlet letters are right up there too!!
@TheJer1963 Yes TheJer1963 im going the BIG 60 next Australia Day here down under Thank,s for your feed back hope all is well in your neck of the wood,s ?????
Lovely video and thanks for posting it. When watching this, I am reminded about an earlier era when Americans were such a gracious people. The nation then was doing well and also 'fighting' the good war. Needless to say, I pine for those halcyon days. Perhaps Americans will awaken from the slumber and return to a simpler, albeit more beautiful, way. Also, it would behoove us learn to live with the rest of the world instead of what we have been doing recently.
I was privileged to see Jim preform 3 Bells live At the Opry in 2008. Thanks, Jim. I have enjoyed your (and your sisters') version for more than 50 years. Seeing you live at the Opry was a great honor (especially considering I live on the West Coast).
@stone123er I was a 16yo English Seaman back in 58-62. I was taken to a Radio Show by our US Agent. The Stars of that show - The Browns and Hank Snow . I had never heard Country Music before, and I have been a convert ever since. I still have the original 45rpm I purchased in Galveston of The Three Bells
@stone123er I can honestly say I love this song I listen to it at least every week and sign it with to my assited living residents at work they are amazed that at my age I know every word of it your family is vey talented
...Wow.I turned 46 this year, and I remember listing to this as a boy. It's still hard to hear it and not tear up. Thanks for the posting. Classic song and a wonderful performance. Peace.
Jesus..I am 54 now. My mom (she and dad still living and going strong) had 45's by the Browns. My favorites were this (Jimmy Brown) and Old Lamrlighter..but my favorite was "Scarlet Ribbons", which I also remember Dennis Day" singing on an old Jack Benny Radio show.
Make room for another one who has something in their eye. I grew up in the 60's too, I remember my father had a 8 track of the Browns, I think I wore the poor thing out. Their harmony was so awesome to me, and they still are. Thanks for the memories.
This was a great part of my childhood, to see the singers still going so beautifully strong gives me smiles and tears, literally. Thankyou so much for the upload, and thanks to the Browns too. Peace.
the brown woman in middle looks absolutly amazing for her age ,, seen her singing the song on you tube from late 50s what a babe she aged well love her
i can sit here and listen to this song all day and not be tired of it. there's just something about it that just keeps it in my head. in some research i have done it say's bonnie only sang until 1967. did all of them stop singing or just her? why did they not play all the past years up until now. what encouraged them to reunite as a group. i'm honored to be able to see the past come alive in today's world
Thanks so much for posting this song. I was going through some memorabilla and saw my 45 of this record so I searched here for it. It made me cry. They still have very sweet clear voices. Thanks again!!
i heared this song on one of bill gather's shows by the isaacs. i havent been able to get it out of my head. it sounds just like the browns. i would like to know more about the browns and how this song came to them. its such a beautiful song with great melody. amazing how it has touched my heart in many ways
It was Bonnie Brown's idea to do the song. She had heard it on the radio sung in English by a small acappella choir from Paris, called Les Compagnons de la Chanson. The Browns reworked the song to fit their style.
A very recent, wonderfully composed piece of fiction, Rick Bass's Nashville Chrome, celebrates the lives of these three singers. It is a book no one should pass up. Thanks for posting this video.
I was 10 years old when this came (1959 I think) and I never forgot how beautiful this song is. It provides a look at a country setting that has long gone from america.
i love this song from the browns. today i hear this version..... years later.... it is better as the original out off the sixties.... great voices....thank you
Hmmm.... 40 years later. And... incredible. The two ladies-beautiful. And still hitting notes like it's nothing. Jim, still singing and looking like he enjoys what he is doing.
Not sure why we haven't seen talent like this in over 20 years. But... one day we will. And when we do, they'll be big.
I was eight years old I used to sit out on our porch and hear this song coming out of the radio in my Mothers kitchen and would cry each time.Now at the age of fifty-eight ....... well any way got I something in my eye . Thanks for the post.
@DooWopJoe I was 6 years old an this is one of the first songs I learned all the words to . I would sing along with the browns in the car begging my mom to turn up the radio. It was songs like this that made me love music so much, still today music is a BIG part of my life....Thank you so much for posting this it brings back such rich vivid memories ..I have tears in my eyes love it thanks again.
i sure wish to meet them, but surly never will , i live in pinebluff arkansas where they did have a place to gather at but they arent here any more and didnt have the chance to meet them then , god bless them , they are beutiful.
me and well funny story when i was about 5 i got lost and someone asked me what my name was so they could find my mom and day and i said jimmy brown and well my mom and dad knew who that was but as for brown that is not my last name just at the time i thougth it was
OK, thanks. I was going on what is mentioned in the Browns CD booklet, which says that Bonnie Brown had heard the song on the radio, as done by Les Compagnons de la Chanson, a French choir.
This song was based on a French song, "While The Angelus Was Ringing," which was originally a hit for both Les Compagnons De La Chanson and Edith Piaf. In the French versions, the song was about a person named Jean-Francois Nicot. When the Browns recorded the song, lyrics were changed and the person became Jimmy Brown. The male singer in the Browns is Jim Ed Brown, so, I am assuming that is why it became the story of Jimmy Brown.
Such a beautiful song and sung so well by Jim. I turn on to you tube everyday just to listen to him. I wish I could him singing' live'. He has such a great voice and he sings from his heart.
Oh my gosh. I've been praying all my life to see the awesome folks that were responsible for singing this amazing song. I have this song in a 45 and have listened to it a zillion times! Thank you so much for sharing!!! I love it!
The only music I dont listen to is hip-hop and rap. I love the rest including opera , butt his song is so beautiful It brings me shear tears. Not tears of sadness or tears of depression. Tears of shear Beauty. God bless that stuff like this is captured and can always be found and seen.
Those were the days of rock-and-roll music on WMCA, WABC, and WINS (before FM was very popular). I also remember listening to "The Old Lamplighter," another song by the Browns. Those were the days!
I have a 2 sets of videos, Country Family Reunion, similar to this comprised of Country/Western singers from the 40s-80s. It is awesome, and Jim Ed Brown was at both session, taped one year apart. They DO get better with age. Thanks for the post.
What a great song back in 1959 and now. They still sound fantatic. It still gives me chills when I hear it.

In the French versions, the song was about a person named Jean-Francois Nicot. When the Browns recorded the song, lyrics were changed and the person became Jimmy Brown. The male singer in the Browns is Jim Ed Brown, so, I am assuming that is why it became the story of Jimmy Brown.

The only music I dont listen to is hip-hop and rap. I love the rest including opera , butt his song is so beautiful It brings me shear tears. Not tears of sadness or tears of depression. Tears of shear Beauty. God bless that stuff like this is captured and can always be found and seen.

Real talent......no reverb or studio enhancement, just really beautiful voices.....still as clear and lovely as 40+ years earlier.

Jim Ed Brown still looks like a right handsome fella then, and good to see no plastic whatever. No doubt a sound excellent bloke.

Now this is singing, and the harmony you just do not find that in singing anymore. What a great great song. Thanks to the Browns for this Classic.

Those were the days of rock-and-roll music on WMCA, WABC, and WINS (before FM was very popular). I also remember listening to "The Old Lamplighter," another song by the Browns. Those were the days!

I have a 2 sets of videos, Country Family Reunion, similar to this comprised of Country/Western singers from the 40s-80s. It is awesome, and Jim Ed Brown was at both session, taped one year apart. They DO get better with age. Thanks for the post.
