Alexander Young (28 December 1938 – 4 August 1997), also known as George Alexander, was a Scottish singer, songwriter, saxophonist, bassist, guitarist and session musician. He is an elder brother of George Young, the rhythm guitarist and founding member of The Easybeats as well as Malcolm and Angus Young, founding members of the Australian hard rock band AC/DC.
Life and career
Young was born in Bridgeton, Glasgow, Scotland. When his family emigrated to Sydney, Australia, in 1963, he chose to remain in Britain to pursue musical interests. At that time he was in a band called the Bobby Patrick Big Six and spent some time in Germany. Later, in 1967, Alexander formed and played bass in the London-based band Grapefruit, initially called "The Grapefruit", with three former members of Tony Rivers and the Castaways, John Perry, Geoff Swettenham, and Pete Swettenham.
Young was signed as songwriter with Apple Music Publishing Ltd. by Terry Doran, managing director of Apple, friend of The Beatles, and later manager of Grapefruit, during the summer of 1967. The song writing contract was based on the strength of the song "Lullaby for a Lazy Day", which John Lennon liked. A tape with this song was found in his personal belongings.
Grapefruit received some support from The Beatles and released two albums and several singles during 1968 and 1969. The group was launched by The Beatles with a press conference in 1968, on 17 January, with the first single "Dear Delilah". It went to number 21 in the UK single chart in February 1968. Paul McCartney directed a promo film (never released) for the single "Elevator". John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison attended and helped in their recording sessions for the singles, as Grapefruit did not have a producer at the time. However, the group broke up in late 1969, with only Young remaining in the music business as a session musician.
A song written by Young, "I'm a Rebel", was recorded in September 1976 by his brothers' band AC/DC, but was never released. Young sang lead vocals on the track, with regular AC/DC vocalist Bon Scott on backing vocals. The song was later covered by the German group Accept.
He released another single, "Sha-Sha"/"Universal Party", under the name Grapefruit with George Young and Harry Vanda.
From 1995 till August 1997, Young worked as a music manager with "Proud and Loud Management", based in Hamburg. He died of lung cancer in Hamburg-Sasel on 4 August 1997.
