Comedy writer Abe Burrows suggested a name change in New York since Urick was difficult to recall. The brothers went with Ames. With classics like “You, You, You” and “Sentimental Me,” the group enjoyed popularity throughout the 1950s.
Ames changed his career path in the 1960s and started acting. In an off-Broadway production of Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible,” he played the lead role for the first time. On television, Ames was most well-known for portraying Mingo, the Oxford-educated Native American, in the 1960s action drama “Daniel Boone,” which starred Fess Parker as the illustrious frontiersman.
Ames developed his tomahawk throwing skills for his part in “Daniel Boone,” and on April 27, 1965, the actor had a humorous appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.” This performance remains one of Ames’ most memorable moments of his career.
On the program, Carson encouraged Ames to show off his prowess by hurling a tomahawk at a target of a cowboy drawn on a piece of wood. The wooden cowboy was struck by Ames’ throw square in the groin, which made the spectators in the studio roar with amusement.
Ames frequently performed in musicals, singing well-known songs like “Try to Remember” and the song that would become his biggest hit record, “My Cup Runneth Over,” as well as appearing in guest parts on TV shows like “In the Heat of the Night” and “Murder, She Wrote.”
The remaining brothers continued to perform and record after the four brothers split up, although Ed received more attention than the others. Gene pἀssed away in 1997, Vic in 1978, and Joe in December 2007.
