In the early 1970's, Brian Johnson was the singer for a Newcastle,
England band that started out as U.S.A., but soon changed their
name to Geordie. Geordie released several albums, including: "Hope
You Like It" (1973), "Don't Be Fooled By The Name" (1974), and
"Save The World" (1976). The band was popular in Europe during
that time period, but that popularity soon ended.
Geordie broke up, and then a few years later Brian, with a new
Geordie
lineup, released the album "Featuring Brian Johnson" (1980), which had

business
