The Easy Riders, an American folk music band, were formed in 1956 by Terry Gilkyson, Richard Dehr, and Frank Miller. Signed to Columbia Records under Mitch Miller, their breakthrough came with "Marianne" in early 1957. The group composed tunes for the 1958 documentary Windjammer, including "Kari Waits for Me" and "Sugar Cane". Gilkyson's song "The Cry of the Wild Goose" reached Number 1 for Frankie Laine, with whom the Easy Riders collaborated on "Love is a Golden Ring". Many of their songs were popularized by other artists. Their album Wanderin' was released in 1959. After disbanding in 1959, Gilkyson left to work for Disney studios and wrote the Oscar-nominated "The Bare Necessities" for The Jungle Book. Dehr died in October 1989 and Gilkyson in October 1999.
