The Browns were an American Country and Folk Music vocal trio best known for their 1959 Grammy-nominated hit, "The Three Bells". The group, composed of Jim Ed Brown and his sisters Maxine and Bonnie Brown, had a close, smooth harmony characteristic of the Nashville sound, though their music also combined elements of folk and pop.
"Send Me the Pillow You Dream On" rose to #23 on the Billboard Top 100 songs of 1960.

Great Sound!  Kind of reminds me of the "Fleetwoods"
