The Easybeats
The Easybeats were a
rock and roll band in the
1960s from
Australia. They had one big international success, "Friday on My
Mind" in
1966, written by guitarists Harry Vanda and
George Young. Two of their songs, "Bring a Little Lovin'" and "Come In, You'll
Get Pneumonia", were hits for Los Bravos and Paul Revere and the Raiders, respectively. "Good Times" and "Falling Off The Edge of the
World" were minor hits in the
United States. After disbanding in
1969, Vanda and Young would go on to write for and produce a number
of artists, such as Easybeats singer Steve Wright,
AC/DC,
featuring George's brothers Angus Young and Malcolm Young, and
others, and would write "Yesterday's Hero" for the
Bay City Rollers.
