My Take
Stevie Wright earns my respect for carrying a heavy title honestly: Australia's first international pop star. Born in Leeds but raised under southern skies, he became the electric frontman of the Easybeats, widely called the greatest Australian band of the 1960s. What stays with me, though, is the human cost behind the glory, the long battle with addiction and the cycles of comeback and collapse before his death in 2015 at 68. The brightest light casts the darkest shadow. I still revisit that voice now and then, raw and full of genuine rock and roll.
