Vanda & Young
 | Formed |
| Active Decades | |
Dutch-born Harry Vanda and Dick Diamonde were living in Australia when they formed the highly successful Easybeats with English-born Stevie Wright, Scottish-born George Young, and English-born Snowy Fleet, in 1964. Wright and Young wrote the Easybeats' early hits, although it wasn't long before Vanda and Young took over songwriting duties, penning, amongst others, the classic single "Friday on My Mind." By the late '60s, Vanda and Young were the driving force behind the Easybeats, but it ended in the early '70s when the band broke up, leaving Vanda and Young with substantial debts.
The duo returned to the U.K. where they worked as songwriters, producers, and musicians for the next three years, releasing the single "Lazy River"/"Free and Easy" in October 1971. A series of singles released under various pseudonyms followed, including "Get Ready for Love"/"Can I Get to Know YouNULL" by Paintbox in October 1971, "Shot in the Head"/"Bye Bye Bluebird" by Haffy's Whisky Sour in November 1971, "Natural Man"/"Boogalooing Is for Wrong" by the Marcus Hook Roll Band in August 1972, and "Louisiana Lady"/"Hoochie Coochie Har Kau" in March 1973.
