during the 1960s, ames returned to singing, this time as a solo artist. he released his first rca victor chart single, "try to remember", in 1965. the song barely made the charts. a bigger success came in 1967 with "my cup runneth over". the song was both a pop hit and an adult contemporary radio hit. he had less success on the pop charts soon after, and only had adult contemporary hits with "time, time", "when the snow is on the roses", and "timeless love", the latter written by buffy sainte-marie. he did make the pop top twenty one last time in his singing career with "who will answer" in 1968. "apologize" reached #47 in the canadian "rpm" magazine hot singles chart.

the quotation has been used extensively in other music. rapper project pat employed the quotation in its most literal sense when he stated "patron in my cup runneth over" in his song "i keep that" from his post-incarceration album "crook by da book: the fed story". rap artists eminem and jay-z have used it in "rabbit run" and "can't knock the hustle" respectively, and eminem has also used the phrase "his cup just runneth over, oh no!" in the song "forever", while actor and musician drake used it in "ignant shit" as well as in a collaborative song with eminem called "forever"; justin timberlake also uses the phrase "sipping from your cup 'til it runneth over" on jay-z's song "holy grail". rapper t.i. uses the term in his song "sorry", where the first words spoken on the track are "my cup runneth over...". rock musicians have also used the phrase. it is in the opening lyrics of "december" by collective soul and in the opening line of the alice in chains song "bleed the freak", while the death metal band aborted include the phrase as a lyric in "pestiferous subterfuge" and the virtual band gorillaz referenced the phrase in "all alone". a variation is also used in the song "so appalled" from rapper/producer kanye west's album "my beautiful dark twisted fantasy" when fellow rapper cyhi the prynce says "my cup overrunneth with hundreds," referring to one-hundred dollar bills. this line is also similar to rapper jay-z's line in his song "can't knock the hustle" from his album "reasonable doubt" when he too says "my cup runneth over with hundreds." the words are exactly repeated in the song "manifest" by the fugees in their 1996 album "the score".
