Saw Jim Ed Brown on his 80th birthday, April fools day, 2014 at the opry. He stole the show, and sounded the same as 50 years ago. Had never been to the Opry before or knew much about the Browns, but am now a fan of both. Rest in peace Little Jimmy Brown.

[@floristvanwyk2447]

I fell in love with this song about Jimmy Brown when I heard it played on a grammophone as a young boy many,many years ago.I am now seventy six years old.

[@mygoddess1]

Sweet man, Wicked! great song TY :)

[@tarquin4592]

Even though I have known this cover of a French song ever since it came out, I never realised the Jim Ed Brown and Jimmy Brown name connection till now! You could say I’m a bit on the slow side. Always liked The Browns though and Jim sang as well as he did when he was older as he did when he was young.

[@kennethkarlsson1535]

It's such a pretty little song and I remember it well from 60 yrs ago; HOWEVER, now that I've seen this video, I can't get the image of Paul Winchell's 'Jerry Mahoney' out of my head...

[@rayhammond6510]

real music of da U.S.A.

[@Robert111]

Not really. It was a French song that we copied.

[@John1948TwoB1b]

Robert111 You're right. "The Three Bells", also known as "Jimmy Brown" or "Little Jimmy Brown", was made popular by The Browns in 1959. The single reached number one on the U.S. country and pop charts,] outperforming a competing version by Dick Flood. The version by the Browns also hit number ten on the Hot R&B Sides chart. 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 Édith Piaf and Les Compagnons de la chanson. The song documents three stages of the life of "Jimmy Brown"-his birth, his marriage, and his death.

[@John1948TwoB1b]

+prairie mark I have not seen a translation of the original French so I couldn't say. I don't see Baptism in it but my church doesn't do infant Baptism. We wait until the child is old enough to make a decision for Christ and to understand it.

Nah, no way. too much bull. Just trying to be nice for sake of being nice. No politics involved, in any way shape or form.

[@TheSteamtramman]

Jimmy Brown was only the name given to the American version. Edith Piaf sung it to us in Paris and the story is much longer - although he still dies. I think Edith also sang it in English, altho in fairness The Browns were ever a favourite group of ours. Jim Ed and Maxine were still singing in the 80s - we saw them live on one of our flips to the USofA.

RIP, Mr. Brown

[@ingridmaier5864]

What has happened to the beautiful classic Country Music, I miss it so. I can't listen to the new sound, I don't like it. :-((

[@John1948TwoB1b]

I know.

[@ingridmaier5864]

+John1948TwoB1b - Do you have the same sad feeling as I do, when you look at the Grand Ol Opry today and listen to that trash called Country Music?

[@shirleybrown2590]

Just like every part of our society it seems that country music has been hi-jacked by inferiority.

[@John1948TwoB1b]

I hate what has happened to our music. I blame a lot of it on the recording studios that can make a croaker sound like a song bird. Now there is no need to search out talent.

[@this2shellpass]

this is originally french Swiss song....
