Cliff Williams

While Cliff Williams may not have a shelf of solo trophies, his legacy is written in the record books of rock. As the bassist on Back in Black, one of the best-selling albums of all time with over 50 million copies sold, he helped create a sound that defined a genre. His steady, locked-in groove with drummer Phil Rudd became the backbone of AC/DC's unmistakable style.Williams' endurance is remarkable: over five decades with the same band, through lineup changes, tragedy, and triumph. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, a recognition of his contribution to one of rock's most enduring acts. For fans, he is the quiet force who kept the rhythm section bulletproof.
