Tribute to Ed Ames, featuring Sheldon Zoldan

Ed Ames, a member of the singing Ames Brothers quartet,  later became an actor who was best known for his role on the TV show "Daniel Boone." This tribute is one of 44 short yet illuminating episodes about significant figures in the music industry who passed away in 2023.Here, you can listen to the Ames Brothers singing "Rag Mop" in 1950 on an early iteration of "The Ed Sullivan Show." The publicity photo of the Ames Brothers in the Chapters was taken in 1955 a couple of years after they signed with the record label RCA Victor. Ed Ames is pictured at the top. I found the photo on wikimedia.org. Also in the chapters, you can go right to the tribute by skipping my intro; feel free to skip my closing remarks too. Both are there to provide context for those who haven't listened to the other tributes.All of these tributes were written and recorded by longtime writer/editor Sheldon Zoldan, who also is the creator behind Song of the Day, a music-related story sent daily to an email list of subscribers.
