Ed Ames

Ed Ames (Edmund Dantes Urick; July 9, 1927 – November 20, 1989) was an American pop singer and actor.[1] He is known for playing Mingo in the television series Daniel Boone and for his pop hits of the 1960s including "My Cup Runneth Over", "Who Will Answer?" and "When the Snow Is on the Roses".

He was also part of the popular 1950s singing group with his siblings, The Ames Brothers.[1] He was born in Malden, Massachusetts.

Ames became ill in 1974 due to a fall that broke several bones. He recovered from the fall and returned to work (although he was usually seated during her scenes).

Reports surfaced in the media in the fall of 1988 that Ames had surgery and received treatment for stomach cancer. Ames died on November 20, 1989. B&B featured a tribute to Ames; his brother Joe, Danny Thomas and Tammy Grimes presented the tribute, which featured his memorable moments on the show.[2]
