Enjoyed his acting. Rest in Peace.
He as a great singer besides his acting. He wasn't a real Indian but he's headed for that Happy Hunting ground, I'm sure.
Indeed. The Ames Brothers were very successful in the 50's and 60's and Ed even more so on his own. I am lucky to have copies of most of their recordings. Folks in this group might be most interested in the songs from this Daniel Boone era recording: Ed Ames - It's A Man's World
A sample of his talent (#1 on Billboard in 1967 for you youngsters):
RIP. Thanks for the many hours of listening and viewing pleasure you provided.

I'd forgotten all about him; good to know he lived that long, he was a good guy!

I was just watching a couple of Daniel Boone episodes last night that had Mingo in them, not knowing the news.
Here’s the album referenced on YouTube:
There were many singing acts composed of Brothers, like the Ames, Mills, Blackwood,Stanley, Louvin , etc. Ever notice how well brothers harmonize?

I remember reading back when DB was still on that he had been told by the director to simply "make something up" when he was supposed to deliver a couple of lines in Cherokee. Not knowing any of the language, he actually recited a Hebrew prayer.
He felt so bad about it that he said, "Never again!" to himself. From then on, he got a Cherokee speaker to translate his lines, and to teach him the correct pronunciation of the Cherokee syllables. I don't know that he ever learned enough vocabulary to speak the language in conversation, but he was reciting his Native lines correctly for the rest of the series' run. Nothing but respect for someone who works hard to get things right when called to represent someone of another cultural background. (The accuracy of his clothing, unfortunately, was under someone else's control...)
