Terry Gilkyson

Hamilton H. Gilkyson III (June 17, 1916–October 15, 1999), better known as Terry Gilkyson, was an American folk singer, composer, and lyricist. He may not be well-remembered today but his influence on pop music and folk music is significant. Terry and the members of his group, the Easy Riders, made contributions as songwriters and performers. Along the way they left us with songs that are very familiar to anyone who listened to music in the 50s: "Marianne" and "Memories Are Made of This".
