Life
The first successes as a member of the Browns

1965 Jim Ed decided to start a solo career, although the trio continued to be very good at business. His two sisters withdrew two years later from the music business, in order to devote their families. The way was thus free for Jim Ed, especially since the record label RCA supported his plans.

In the same year he reached with Pop A Top Position 3 on the country charts. 1970 he managed another top 10 success with Morningstar.
