Hylo Brown (April 20, 1922 – January 17, 2003) was a bluegrass and country music singer, guitarist and bass player.
Biography
Frank "Hylo" Brown, Jr. was born in River, Johnson County, Kentucky and began his career as a performer on radio station WCMI in Ashland, Kentucky in 1939. Soon, he moved to WLOG in Logan, West Virginia and their "Saturday Jamboree". Six months later, he moved with his family to Springfield, Ohio. He began composing songs and performing on local radio stations in Ohio. During an appearance at WPFB in Middletown, Ohio he received his nickname "Hylo" because Smoky Ward, who was on the show, couldn't remember his name and started calling him "Hi-Lo". That nickname was a humorous indication of Brown's presumed vocal range. In 1950, he recorded with Bradley Kincaid at WWSO studio in Springfield. Four years later, Brown wrote a song, Lost To A Stranger, that was sent to Ken Nelson, the A & R man of Capitol Records. The song was meant to be recorded by Kitty Wells but instead, Nelson offered Brown a recording contract if he recorded it himself. On November 7, 1954, he cut his first recordings for Capitol Records. Lost To A Stranger became his first hit. In early 1955, he formed the "Buckskin Boys" performing on the WWVA Jamboree in Wheeling, West Virginia. In 1957, he joined Flatt & Scruggs on their "Martha White Mills" shows, and he was regularly featured in solo performances as well as with the Foggy Mountain Boys. He renamed the "Buckskin Boys" calling them "The Timberliners". The Timberliners consisted of Brown on guitar, Red Rector on mandolin, Jim Smoak on banjo, Clarence "Tater" Tate on fiddle and Joe "Flap Jack" Phillips on bass. After his Capitol contract had expired, Brown signed with Starday Records in 1961. He retired in 1991 and moved to Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Hylo Brown died on January 17, 2003. He is interred in Rose Hill Burial Park, Springfield,
Clark County, Ohio.
"I Still..." is a song from the Backstreet Boys' fifth studio album, Never Gone. It was the third and final single from the album internationally, except in the United States. The single debuted at number 1 on the Japan International Singles Chart with 20,182 copies (Japan) sold during first week.
Music video
The music video depicts the Backstreet Boys in a dark urban setting, with each haunted by memories of the same woman. Each Backstreet Boy is filmed in his own vignette: Richardson is drinking at a bar; Dorough is in a cab; Carter is at a bus station; Littrell is on the road; and McLean is in an alley. The video was directed by Matt McDermitt, whom the Boston Globe reported to be only 19 years old at the time of filming. The music video is noted for its excellent use of slow-motion technique; it was nominated for a TRL Italy video for Best #1 Video.

Hylo Brown The Girl in the Blue Velvet Band with The Foggy Mountain Boys
Flatt & Scruggs appeared on various country music variety TV shows, but they received their own 30-minute syndicated television show through WSM in 1955. The Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs Grand Ole Opry Show featured guests such as Maybelle Carter and many famous singers of the era, and this new form of broadcast media widely increased their fame and influence. The episodes captured a dynamic that couldn’t be translated over airwaves alone.
While Flatt called the shots and directed much of the banter onstage, Scruggs leaned on his technical ability more than flare. The show ran until 1969, when the two disbanded.

It's been many years since we were childhood sweethearts Blissful days that I never can forget And you know I still love you little darling Though the years bring me only regret. Refrain: Oh! I love you my darling, how I love you If I talk, will you try to understand It's no matter how you treat me, I love you And I still write your name in the sand. Through the long, lonely years I have loved you And I've waited, but only in vain Now I know I've lost you my darling But I still sing the same old refrain. Refrain: Now I know that your heart is for another And it grieves me more than I can stand Though I've lost the only one that I care for I will still write your name in the sand. Oh! I love you my darling, how I love you If I talk, will you try to understand It's no matter how you treat me, I love you
