    John Inglis Young,

    Countdown, a 1974–1987 TV series for Australia's national broadcaster ABC.[1]
    Besides "Love Is in the Air", Young had top ten chart success in Germany and the Netherlands with "Standing in the Rain" and four other top ten hits in South Africa,[1] including No. 1 hits with "I Hate the Music" in 1976 and "Yesterday's Hero" in 1975.[3]

    On 27 August 2009, Young was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame.[4][5][6]

    Career

    1950–1974: Early life and early career

    Young was born John Inglis Young in Bridgeton, Glasgow, Scotland to James and Agnes (nee Inglis) Young. Together with his parents, two sisters and a brother, Young emigrated to Australia on board the SS Canberra,[7] arriving in Sydney on Australia Day (26 January) 1962 when he was aged 11.[8] His family lived at East Hills Hostel before moving to Liverpool. He attended school at Hammondville Public School, Liverpool Boys High School and Westfields Sports High School.[9] After finishing school, he started an apprenticeship as a sheet metal worker.[1] Initially performing as John Young, his first involvement in music began in late 1967 when he formed a band, Elm Tree, with schoolmates.[1]

    It was my friends who convinced me that I could be a singer. One weekend I rolled up and they were standing there with two bass guitars and an announcement; that we were going to form a band. I immediately poo-pooed the whole thing because I'd just started my apprenticeship in sheet metalwork and after paying off a car, no way was I going to be paying off equipment or anything like that so they said, 'You can be the singer because you're always singing and you don't need any equipment' – and I fell for it.

    — John Paul Young, The Drum Media, 30 July 2009[8]

    The other members included Robert (Slim) Barnett on bass guitar, Ollie Chojnacki on guitar, Philip Edwards (drums 1968–1971, 1972–1976), Andy Imlah on

    co-lead vocals, Dave Kaentek, Ron Mazurkiewicz on keyboards and Geoff Watts on drums.[1][10] Elm Tree gained a moderate following around Sydney, and after being spotted by producer Martin Erdman, they cut one single for his Du Monde label, a cover of UK band Marmalade's "Rainbow", which was released through Festival in November 1970, but did not enter the top 50 Australian singles charts.[1][11] In mid-1971 they entered the New South Wales heats of Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds and got as far as the Sydney finals, but they didn't make it through to the national final, and so never managed to break out of the Sydney suburban dance circuit.[1][2]

    At this point, Young's manager Dal Myles got him a role in the Melbourne production of

    Stevie Wright (ex-The Easybeats), Marcia Hines and Reg Livermore.[13] Young remained with the production until it closed in February 1974; the production broke theatrical attendance records in its two-year season, and whilst it provided him with a public profile, it left him at a loose end when it concluded.[13]

    For Young, a major break occurred at an Elm Tree performance when visiting producer and

    confirmation name)[16] to avoid confusion with Johnny Young (no relation), the 1960s pop star and Young Talent Time (1971–1988 TV show) presenter.[8] He performed the song on Happening 70 on Channel Ten.[17] "Pasadena" peaked at No. 16 in the Australian Singles charts in early 1972.[11] It was followed by "You Drive Me Crazy" which was released in February 1973 but failed to chart.[2][11]

    "Pasadena" had been a hit [but] nobody knew what I looked like. Everybody thought the song was American and basically that was that. It faded away and the ... Superstar – two and a half years of absolute gold – finished.

    — John Paul Young[8]

    Young renewed his association with

    B side was a track called "Bad Trip". Young said "no one liked it. It was a disappointment. It was about suicide but they must've thought it was about drugs because of the title. It wasn't banned or anything, they just didn't play it."[12] Young considered a part in the musical Godspell but decided against it, preferring to go back to sheet metal work. He left the job after a day and a half due to being hassled by the boss.[12]

    1975–1977: Australian chart success

    Main articles: Hero (John Paul Young album), J.P.Y., and Green (John Paul Young album)

    In February 1975, Young released "

    colour TV broadcasting on 1 March 1975.[2][21][22] Young's debut performance on Countdown had him miming "Yesterday's Hero" while dressed in a sailor's suit surrounded on an island stage with a studio audience of screaming teen girls.[23] He was dragged off the stage three times by audience members and the microphone cord was ripped out but the song continued uninterrupted.[23] ABC TV producer, Michael Shrimpton believes his show, Countdown, played a big part in making "Yesterday's Hero" and Young a teen pop success.[21]

    John Paul Young was the first male singer that the show chose to make a megastar. It was an experiment. Could we actually take someone who was basically unknown and in a matter of two months turn him into a number one hit?

    — Michael Shrimpton[24]

    By mid-1975, Countdown's talent co-ordinator,

    La De Das) on guitar, Johnny Dick (Max Merritt & the Meteors, Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs) on drums, Ronnie Peel (aka "Rockwell T James", Missing Links, La De Das) on bass guitar and Ian Winter (Carson, Daddy Cool) on guitar.[1][10] Billy Thorpe reportedly said they were the best rock band in Australia.[12]

    Throughout 1975, Young toured with Stevie Wright,

    support acts.[12]

    Young's debut studio album,

    The Love Game"[25] (peaked at No. 4 in September 1975), "I Hate the Music"[26] (No. 2, April 1976) and "I Wanna Do It with You"[27] (No. 7, May 1977).[11] Young's second studio album, J.P.Y. was released in August 1976 and also peaked at No. 9.[11] In addition to his Australian success, Young achieved top 20 hit singles in Sweden, with "Yesterday's Hero" and "I Hate the Music",[28] and in South Africa where "I Hate the Music" and "Yesterday's Hero" were No. 1 hits, and "Keep on Smilin'" and "I Wanna Do It with You" were top ten hits.[1][3] In May 1977, Young released his third studio album Green, which peaked No. 19.[11]

    In a 1976 Rolling Stone interview, Young gives an insight into working with the Vanda/Young team:

    After I recorded Pasadena our relationship just developed. They play me their songs and say: "See what you think of this." Usually I like it, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I pick out something they've written and say "I want to do this", like I did with Things to do. (For the JPY album), we worked out some of the songs on the road. Others are worked out in the studio and some, like Standing in the Rain are produced by the studio system. Harry and George work it out and I come in later to do the vocal.[12]

    In November 1977, Young's first 'best of' compilation was released, titled All the Best. It was preceded by the single "Where the Action Is" and both single and album peaked within the Australian top 40.

    The associated album, Love Is in the Air was released in October and reached the top 40 on the Australian albums chart.[11] Subsequent singles, "The Day That My Heart Caught Fire" which peaked in the top 20,[11] and "Heaven Sent" continued the disco style. Young was crowned 'King of Pop' in October 1978.[34][35][36] "Love Is in the Air" also won 'Most Popular Australian Single' and Vanda & Young won both 'Best Australian Record Producer' and 'Best Australian Songwriter' at the same awards.[21][34][37][36]
