NEW ° The Browns — The Three Bells (Stereo)

1959... #1 US Hot Country Songs #1 US Billboard Hot C&W Side #1 US Billboard Hot 100 #1 Cashbox Pop #1 Cashbox Country #10 US Billboard Hot R&B Sides.. Country music sibling act the Browns, which had some mild hits in the 1950s, was about to give up on the music business when legendary musician/producer Chet Atkins convinced the trio to give it one more try. So, the Browns — Jim Ed, Maxine and Bonnie — went into a recording studio in 1959 to sing “The Three Bells,” based on a French-language song.

When they were done, Atkins said: “You kids may think you’re about to retire, but I think you’ve just recorded the biggest song we’ve ever done.” “The Three Bells” not only topped the Billboard country chart for 10 weeks, it also crossed over to be the No. 1 pop song for a month. The song is about a person called Jimmy Brown and the three stages of life that he has to go through, birth, marriage, and death. The Browns Band was able to sing the song really well, putting in the country music flare. It also became a cross over hit reaching the top of both the country and pop charts.
