It was on this day in 1980 that a legend was born. As quickly as one era had tragically come to an end, another had begun. Following the death of singer Bon Scott in January of 1980, AC/DC wasted no time hiring singer Brian Johnson (of whom Scott was a big fan) and constructing a masterpiece dedicated to the late vocalist. Back in Black would be the bands sixth studio album and has to date sold nearly 50 million copies worldwide making the album not only AC/DC’s biggest selling record, but the best-selling hard rock or heavy metal album in history and second highest-selling album of all time……in any genre.
