Vanda & Young
Vanda & Young were a songwriting/producing duo composed of Harry Vanda and George Young. They performed as members of 1960s Australian rock group The Easybeats where Vanda was their lead guitarist and backing singer and Young was their rhythm guitarist and backing singer.〔〔 Vanda & Young co-wrote most of The Easybeats later hits including their international hit "Friday on My Mind"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Friday on My Mind" at Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) ) 〕 and they were the record producers for the group from 1967.〔 Young is the older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young of the hard rock band AC/DC, being the record producer behind several of the band's biggest albums (such as 1976's ''Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap'').
After The Easybeats disbanded in 1969, Vanda & Young were songwriters and producers for their own projects such as The Marcus Hook Roll band (EMI), Paintbox (Youngblood) and Haffey's Whiskey Sour (Deram), Flash and the Pan,〔〔 and for other acts including producing early albums for AC/DC;〔〔 they were staff producers for Albert Productions from 1973.〔 In 1988 the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) acknowledged the iconic status of Vanda & Young when they were inducted into the inaugural Hall of Fame, in 2005 The Easybeats were also inducted into the Hall of Fame.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Winners by Award: Hall of Fame )〕 In 2001, the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) surveyed 100 music industry personalities for the APRA Top Ten Best Australian Songs of All Time where "Friday on My Mind" was declared No. 1. Their song for John Paul Young (no relation), "Love Is in the Air" was declared the 'Most played Australian song overseas' by APRA following its use on the 1992 film ''Strictly Ballroom''.〔

The Vandenbergs and Youngs migrated to Australia in 1963, both families were initially housed at the Villawood Migrant Hostel in Sydney.〔 At the hostel, five migrants formed The Easybeats: Stevie Wright (lead vocals), Dick Diamonde (bass), Gordon Fleet (drums), Vanda (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Young (rhythm guitar, backing vocals).〔 Wright was their initial lyricist with Young composing the music as Vanda's grasp of English was insufficient.〔 They were signed by EMI / Parlophone Records with Ted Albert producing their early recordings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Albert Productions )〕 By 1966 Vanda & Young had begun their writing partnership; together they penned The Easybeats' late 1960s recordings including "Friday on My Mind" which reached No. 1 on the Australian singles charts in 1966 and "Good Times" (1968).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) ) 〕 The Easybeats became Australia's most popular and successful 1960s group,〔 they travelled to the UK on 10 July 1966 where "Friday on My Mind" was produced by Shel Talmy in November.〔〔 They toured Australia in May 1967 and the USA in August to promote their later singles and albums, at this time Vanda & Young were producing their recordings; by late 1969 the group returned to Australia and disbanded.〔
