"My Cup Runneth Over" #8 3/25/1967

The Ames Brothers were quite the popular vocal group in the 1940's and 50's. Like so many others, the hits dried up when rock and roll came along. Ed Ames then got into acting, most notably portraying Mingo, the Native American on "Daniel Boone." This was his biggest solo record, and he just nails it at the end! He had an appearance on "The Tonight Show" bordering on immortality. Johnny Carson thought it was a cutting edge gig for sure. BTW, Ed really WAS Jewish.
