James Vincent Young (born November 14, 1949) is an American musician who is best known as one of the guitarists in the American rock band Styx, having served as the only continuous original member of the band.[3] In 1970, Young joined the band TW4[4][5][6][7] while a student at Illinois Institute of Technology, from which he graduated with a bachelor's degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering. That band later became the first incarnation of Styx. After Styx's initial breakup in 1984, Young collaborated with Jan Hammer on the album City Slicker (1985).[7] Since reforming in 1995, Young is still a member of Styx. Young went to Calumet High School.[9] His father, who he described as "very conservative",[10] could play piano by ear.[9] His idols were Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter, and Albert King. Young's first band, the Catalinas, won a "Best Teens In America" contest, came in third place at a Chicago talent competition, and toured Europe in 1966.[9]
