He had a nice voice. I remember that song from when it first came out.

In the 1950s and 60s, there were many 30-minute music programs on weekend tv. Brown was one of many entertainers on them.

I posted this in the Canteen thread yesterday:

R.I.P.

There’s a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born

All the chapel bells were ringing
In the little valley town
And the songs that they were singing
Were for baby Jimmy Brown
Then the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation,
Bless this hour of meditation
Guide him with eternal love

There’s a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love

All the chapel bells were ringing,
Was a great day in his life
Cause the songs that they were singing
Were for Jimmy and his wife
Then the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation,
Bless oh Lord this celebration
May their lives be filled with love

From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and gray
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away

Just a lonely bell was ringing
In the little valley town
Twas farewell that it was singing
To our good old Jimmy Brown
And the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation,
May his soul find the salvation
Of thy great eternal love”

I’m a bit too young to remember that. By the time I came along, it was Jim Ed Brown and Helen Cornelius.

This rather weird tune, originally by Hank Williams, was a big hit in Southern California in December, 1959.

Pop a Top, if no one posted it, look it up on youtube and yes, he was in the 3 Browns music group too, I think they were a family.

[Dawgreg]

I think I’ll go listen to “The Old Lamplighter” and think of the memories I have of the Browns and Jim Ed as a soloist. Thanks for the memories and RIP..........;(

I saw him perform two months ago at the Grand Ole Opry. I think it was his last time on stage.
