George Young wasn't so much on the charts for the best part of
three decades: he and his musical partner Harry Vanda were the
charts. George's journey began with the trailblazing Easybeats and
continued, alongside Harry, as producer/songwriter for hire with
John Paul Young, The Angels, Rose Tattoo, Cheetah, Ted Mulry,
Stevie Wright and, most crucially, AC/DC. George and Harry also
struck gold with Flash and the Pan, almost by accident. George
Young helped create such classics as 'Friday on My Mind', 'Sorry',
'Love is in the Air', 'Evie', 'Yesterday's Hero', 'Down Among the
Dead Men', 'Hey, St. Peter', 'Bad Boy for Love', 'Jailbreak' and
'It's a Long Way to the Top'. In 2001, APRA voted 'Friday on My
Mind' the best and most significant Australian song of the past 75
years. In this long-overdue book, the first to focus exclusively on
the life and work of George Young, writer Jeff Apter explores
George's long and fruitful association with Harry; his rare ability
to maintain a stable married life with his wife Sandra; and his
handshake deal with Ted Albert that helped create a music empire.
The book also reveals such little-known events as the accident that
almost killed off 'Hey, St. Peter' before its release, and the
tragedy that bonded George and Harry for life.
