One of my mom's favorite Ed Ames songs was My Cup Runneth Over and when you listened to Ed Ames sing he had an impressive voice and he reminds me a lot of Kelsey Grammer when Kelsey sings and nowadays it's hard to find a singer like Ed Ames and I wish in today's singers we had more like him

I mainly knew him from the tomahawk throwing demonstration on Johnny Carson that was mentioned in the article. It was always a clip on “the best of” tonight show compilations.

Indeed a great set of pipes. "Who Will Answer" was my favorite. Had several hits as part of The Ames Brothers, including "You, You, You."

Thanks for the show - you were a credit to the biz.

One of my favorite shows and I loved his character on the show ! RIP

I do remember his great voice, so many years ago, with his brothers, The Ames Brother. Then as Mingo, in the Daniel Boone series. And then of course, on Johnny Carson.

RIP

My parents had several of the Ames Brothers’ records when I was young. The songs I most remember are My Cup Runneth Over and Tammy.

I'm sorry to hear that he's passed, but I admit to thinking he was dead already.

I remember many of his TV appearances as well as his singing. When reading the link posted by tvguy, I learned something new: Ed Ames and I were born in the same city, Malden, MA, a suburb of Boston. Rest easy, Ed.
