Harmon’s Histories: Folk sensation 3 Young Men from Montana grabbed headlines in 1960s
Growing up in Libby, the Riddle kids were older than I was, by a decade or more, so I never really knew them. But the world would soon come to know Dick Riddle through record albums by his folk group Three Young Men, later renamed, Three Young Men From Montana. In the early 1960s, the group recorded albums for “Columbia Records, appeared on the Johnny Carson Show nine times and became a regular act on the musical variety television show Hootenanny,” according to press releases at the time.
