When it comes to paying tribute to the late George Young, here at rage we don't just think of his much-lauded career beginnings as a member of The Easybeats.
Throughout his illustrious career, the older brother of AC/DC founders Malcolm and Angus Young, who found fame as a member of The Easybeats in the sixties, also went on to co-produce some of AC/DC's most iconic albums, including High Voltage, T.N.T. and Let There Be Rock, to name just a few. But his contributions to the Australian music industry didn't end there.
The Scottish-born musician was also an exceptional songwriter, penning some of the country's most loved songs. In fact, without the work of Young and his songwriting partner Harry Vanda, we wouldn't have some of the most influential and memorable tracks in Australian music history, including: The Easybeats' 'Friday On My Mind' and 'Good Times', Stevie Wright's 'Evie' trilogy, John Paul Young's 'Love Is In The Air' and Flash In The Pan's 'Hey St Peter'.
