In 1961, his song “Goodbye Cruel World” took the music chart’s number three slot. The next year, “Her Royal Majesty” — another one of James’ hits — placed sixth, and in the same year, his song “Conscience” took number eleven.
Apart from being a successful singer and actor, James also directed several series, including “Melrose Place,” “Hunter,” “The A-Team,” and “Beverly Hills, 90210.” The entertainment powerhouse is survived by his sons, Jim, Christian, and Tony Darren, his five grandchildren, and his wife, Evy Norlund.

After expressing her heartache, Alison Martino divulged what good friends her dad and James were. The two deceased stars’ friendship dates back 65 years or more, according to Alison, who shared black and white nostalgic photos of the two from the ’70s.
“We stayed in touch with James all these years and just saw him recently so this is tough. I take comfort in knowing they’re both on the same mural in their [hometown alongside] Eddie Fisher and Frankie Avalon. It’s all too much lately,” said Alison at the end of her message.
