[KyuRoo]

a great positive vibe song.... can't find a CD with this on yet. I thought I saw the guitarist from Dragon or Mi-Sex in there? This is a great anthem to live by!!

[nzoz1976]

@KyuRoo yep, an ex-Dragon guitarist is among this line-up of the Allstars.

Hugs to you aristacourt!!!

Thank you for sharing this video with me:)))))))

Thanks for posting nzoz1976 !!!

[nzoz1976]

No worries...

[LeamingtonSteve]

Is this guy really Angus and Malcolm Young's brother?!

[nzoz1976]

No, he is not related. However, this song was written and produced by George Young, who is the older brother of Angus & Malcolm. You can even spot George in the clip.

George Young and Harry Vanda wrote and produced nearly all of JPY's hits including his international success 'Love Is In The Air'.

JPY is not a blood relative to AC/DC... he was just on the same Alberts label.

Forgive your dumb arse for not knowing what Australian talent is represented in this clip, you uncultured prick.
