Description
Harry Vanda and George Young put Friday on our minds, triggered Easyfever with the Easybeats, and harnessed the raw energy and power of Aussie pub rock to make superstars of AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, and the Angels. The day Vanda and Young met at Sydney's Villawood Migrant Hostel has been called the most significant moment in Australian music history.
What followed, as members of the Easybeats, producers and mentors for George's brothers' band AC/DC, and songwriters of a diverse range of hits from Friday on My Mind, She's So Fine, Yesterday's Hero and Love is in the Air to Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again, has provided the soundtrack to the last 50 years.
Featuring revelatory interviews with Vanda and Young and members of AC/DC and the other chart-topping acts they worked with, this is the inspirational story of Australia's top songwriters, producers and star-makers.
Vanda & Young by John Tait offers an in-depth look at the duo's monumental contribution to the music industry and shares the tale of their enduring legacy.
