Jim Ed Brown (born James Edward Brown, April 1, 1934, Sparkman, Arkansas) is an American country music singer who achieved fame in the 1950s with his two sisters as a member of The Browns. He later had a successful solo career from 1965 to 1974, followed by a string of major duet hits with Helen Cornelius through 1981. Brown is currently the host of the Country Music Greats Radio Show, a syndicated country music program from Nashville, Tennessee.
Brown and his sisters, Maxine and Bonnie, moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas as youth. They organized their singing group in the early 50s and sang individually at rural venues until 1954, when Jim Ed and Maxine signed a record contract as a duo. They earned national recognition and a guest spot on Ernest Tubb's radio show for their humorous song "Looking Back To See", which hit the top ten and stayed on the charts through the summer of 1954.[1]
