In a press release issued to The Associated Press, Bonnie expresses her willpower to beat the sickness and “reside many…” With Bonnie on board, the group scored further top ten country hits with “Here Today Gone Tomorrow”, “I Take The Chance”, and “I Heard The Bluebirds Sing”.
Brown’s brother, Grand Ole Opry star Jim Ed Brown, died of the same disease in June shortly after he learned that the Browns – along with the Oak Ridge Boys and guitarist Grady Martin – had been selected for the Hall of Fame.
