George Young (rock musician)
George Redburn Young (born 6 November 1946) is a Scottish-born Australian musician, songwriter and record producer. He is best known as a member of the 1960s Australian rock band The Easybeats, and as a co-writer of the international hits "Friday on My Mind" and "Love Is in the Air" recorded by John Paul Young (no relation). Young was also the producer of the Australian hard rock band AC/DC, which features his younger brothers Malcolm and Angus Young.
==Career==
George Young was born in the east end of Glasgow, Scotland. His father was William Young (1911–1985), and his mother Margaret (1913–1988) (her maiden name was also Young); the family emigrated to Australia in 1963.〔 George's older brother Alex was later a member of the group Grapefruit.〔 When the Young family emigrated to Sydney, Australia in 1963, Alex Young chose to remain in Britain to pursue musical interests.〔 In 1967, Alexander formed and played bass in the London-based band Grapefruit—initially called "The Grapefruit"—with three former members of Tony Rivers and the Castaways, John Perry, Geoff Swettenham, and Pete Swettenham.〔
Starting his career in Sydney, and attending Sefton High School as his secondary school, George Young first achieved international success in the 1960s as the rhythm guitarist in the band The Easybeats; Young co-wrote nearly all of their songs, first with singer Stevie Wright, then later with lead guitarist, Harry Vanda. In 2007, the ''Australian Musician'' magazine selected the meeting of Vanda and Young in a Sydney migrants hostel in 1964 as the most significant event in Australian pop and rock music history.〔(Australia's great rock moments )〕
After the band dissolved in 1970, Vanda & Young concentrated on writing and producing pop and rock songs for other recording artists, and under various stage names, most notably Flash and the Pan. One such recording studio based group was their own ''Marcus Hook Roll Band'', with brothers, Malcolm and Angus Young.〔
