Daddy Cool is an Australian rock band formed in Melbourne, Victoria, in 1970 with the original line-up of Wayne Duncan (bass, vocals), Ross Hannaford (lead guitar, bass, vocals), Ross Wilson (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, harmonica) and Gary Young (drums, vocals) .[1][2] Their debut single "Eagle Rock" was released in May 1971[1][3] and stayed at number 1 on the Australian singles chart for ten weeks.[4][5][6] Their debut, July 1971's LP Daddy Who? Daddy Cool, also reached number 1 and became the first Australian album to sell more than 100,000 copies.[1][5][7] The group's name came from the 1957 song "Daddy Cool"[1] by US rock group The Rays. Daddy Cool included their version of this song on Daddy Who? Daddy Cool.[8]

Daddy Cool's music was originally largely 1950s Doo-wop-style cover versions and originals mostly written by Wilson.[1][3][5] On stage they provided a danceable sound which was accessible and fun.[1] Their second album, Sex, Dope, Rock'n'Roll: Teenage Heaven from January 1972, also reached the Top Ten.[4] Breaking up in August 1972, Daddy Cool briefly reformed during 1974–1975 before disbanding again. They reformed with the band's original line-up in 2005.[1][3][5] Their iconic status was confirmed when they were inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame on 16 August 2006.[5] At the Music Victoria Awards of 2014, Daddy Cool was also inducted into the Music Victoria Hall of Fame.[9]
