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.

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.
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.
