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.
