Piaf? Unique! Incomparable! Nonpareille!
Bert Reisfeld wrote the (ugh!) English version "Three Bells" about that horrible 'Little Jimmy Brown'.
"The Browns" released the hit recording, a single, in 1959, RCA Victor. The Browns, from Arkansas, were signed for RCA by Chet Atkins, Nashville. The lead singer, Jim Ed Brown, had several top country hits when he worked for the Grand Old Opry.
