In 1955, they had their own 15-minute syndicated TV program, The Ames Brothers Show, and performed the title song for Man on Fire (1957), starring Bing Crosby. Listeners loved their rich, clean harmonies.Īfter “Rag Mop,” “Sentimental Me,” “Undecided” and another top-10 hit, the 1954 novelty song “The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane,” the brothers began to perform regularly on Arthur Godfrey’s show and were one of the first acts to appear on Ed Sullivan’s Toast of the Town. They found their first chart success in 1949 with “Forever and Ever,” recorded with Russ Morgan’s orchestra. They headed to New York, landed a job with bandleader Art Mooney, signed with Decca Records and, at the suggestion of famed Broadway producer Abe Burroughs, became the Ames Brothers. He joined Vic, Gene and Joe as the frontman in an act they called the Urick Brothers and then the Armory Brothers (Vic’s middle name), and they made their mark in Boston nightclubs like the Latin Quarter, founded by Barbara Walters’ father, Lou.

As a child, he attended the rough-and-tumble Boston Latin School - Benjamin Franklin was another famous alum - and sang in churches around town. 1 song, the double-sided tracker “Rag Mop”/”Sentimental Me” struck it rich three years later with “You, You, You” on RCA Records and became one of the most popular quartets in the era before the intrusion of rock ‘n’ roll.Īmes went it alone in 1961 and had success with such songs as “Try to Remember” - his signature song - “Apologize,” “When the Snow Is on the Roses,” “My Cup Runneth Over” and “Who Will Answer?”Įdmond Dantes Urick was born July 9, 1927, in Malden, Massachusetts, the youngest of nine children (five boys and four girls).

“First I did it at home the night before and wrecked a couple of trees.”Īmes noted that the morning after the show aired, cab drivers yelled at him, “Good for you, Ed!” as he walked through the streets of New York City. “That afternoon, I practiced throwing it,” he said. (On earlier appearances with Carson, he had thrown a bola and a lance and shot an arrow.) In a 2014 interview with host Mark Malkoff on The Carson Podcast, the amiable Ames admitted that he had never tossed a tomahawk until he learned The Tonight Show wanted him to do it on the air. The whole thing generated one of the longest laughs in the history of The Tonight Show - at about four minutes, some say one of the longest in the annals of TV - and was a staple of highlight shows for decades. As the audience howled, Carson left his desk and said to Ames in now-classic ad-libbed lines, “I didn’t even know you were Jewish!” and “Welcome to frontier bris!”
