"Back in Black" is a song by Australian rock band AC/DC. It was released as the second US single from their seventh album, which is also named Back in Black and released in 1980 through Atlantic Records. Notable for its opening guitar riff, the song was written as a tribute to the band's former singer Bon Scott, who died suddenly in February 1980.
Back in Black was the first AC/DC album to feature Brian Johnson (pictured in 1982) as lead singer. As AC/DC commenced writing new material for the followup to Highway to Hell, vocalist Bon Scott, who began his career as a drummer with The Spektors, played the drums on demo recordings of "Let Me Put My Love into You" and "Have a Drink on Me".
