My Take

For me, Bon Scott is proof that a great rock frontman is born, not manufactured. That sandpaper voice, the wink buried in every lyric, the sense that he was having more fun than anyone else in the building — AC/DC's early records still crackle with it. Born in Forfar, raised rowdy in Australia, gone at thirty-three in 1980; the brevity feeds the legend, but the talent was real. When Classic Rock ranked him the greatest frontman of all time, I did not argue. Every swaggering hard-rock singer since owes him a drink, and I suspect most of them know it.

Overview

Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott (9 July 1946 – 19 February 1980) was an Australian singer who was the second lead vocalist and lyricist of the hard rock band AC/DC from 1974 until his death in 1980. In the July 2004 issue of Classic Rock, Scott was ranked number one in a list of the "100 Greatest Frontmen of All Time".
