From my friends at Hollywoodmemoir.com

James Gordon MacArthur (December 8, 1937 - October 28, 2010) was an American actor known for the role of Danny "Danno" Williams, the reliable second-in-command of the fictional Hawaiian State Police squad Hawaii Five-O.
Hawaii Five-O ran for twelve years—eleven with MacArthur.

"Danno" tried his hand at singing in 1961. Triodex (112) released The In-Between Years (pt 1)/The In-Between Years (pt2). It was re-released as The In-Between Years/Teenage Tears on Scepter 1241 in 1962. In June 1963, The Ten Commandments Of Love/Padre (Scepter 1250) peaked at the #94 position. A Girl Needs Love, another Septer recording, was never released. He briefly toured with Dick Clark in early 1964.

It's too bad he won't be able to make an appearance in the new series... they had been trying to arrange it.
