Question: What Australian musician who wrote Whole Lotta Rosie was absent briefly in 1988 from AC/DC?

Context paragraphs:
Whole Lotta Rosie: "Whole Lotta Rosie" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC.  It is the eighth and final track on the band's fourth Australian album, "Let There Be Rock", released in Australia in March 1977, and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott.  It is also the eighth and final track on the international version of the album, released in June the same year.

James Brown (Elvis impersonator): James "The King" Brown (born 1968) is a Belfast-born Elvis Presley tribute act known for his covers of songs done in the style of Elvis.  In the vein of "songs that Elvis should have done," Brown performs songs like "Whole Lotta Rosie", originally by AC/DC, and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", originally by Queen.

Countdown—Time in Outer Space: Dedicated to astronaut John Glenn the album was another in a series of concept albums studying the exploration of unusual meters and polytonality within a jazz context.  Recorded between May 3, 1961 and February 12, 1962, it was put on tape in many of the same sessions that appear on "Time Further Out".  Brubeck encouraged the quartet members towards development of new time signatures for this album.  The first track, "Countdown," is based on a typical "8 to the bar" boogie, stride piano in the manner of Earl Hines or Teddy Wilson, but with two extra notes added in, giving a meter count of 10.  AC/DC's song "Whole Lotta Rosie" has an opening riff directly mimicking this track.  Michael Katzif considers the track so smoothly played that some people may be unaware of the unusual time signature.  "Eleven Four" uses a pattern of five beats, then two sets of three to create the feel of eleven.  In the track "Why Phillis" some players stick to 3/4 time, others adhere to 4/4, while others move between the time signatures.  "Someday My Prince Will Come" had been previously recorded by the Quartet before, juxtaposing triple and quadruple meters in the album "Dave Digs Disney", but the track was re-done on this album to further realize the rhythmic possibilities of poly-rhythm, including adding a rhythm of 2/4 to the mix.  "Castilian Blues" and "Castilian Drums" have time signatures of 5/4, the latter being unsurprisingly a percussion showpiece.  The next four tracks, "Fast Life," "Waltz Limp," "Three's a Crowd," and "Danse Duet" were written for a ballet entitled "Maiden in the Tower."  Different characters in the performance have themes with different time signatures, and as they interact the interplay and contrasts of the various rhythms are paraded.  The album's final track, as originally issued, is a standard blues in 4/4 time, hence the title "Back to Earth."

Whole Lotta History: "Whole Lotta History" is a song by British all-female pop group Girls Aloud, taken from their third studio album "Chemistry" (2005).  The song was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania, and produced by Higgins and Xenomania.  Described as "a lush ballad", "Whole Lotta History" was slightly remixed and released as a single in March 2006.  It continued Girls Aloud's string of hits by becoming their twelfth consecutive single to chart within the top ten on the UK Singles Chart.

Whole Lotta Lovin' (Fats Domino song): Whole Lotta Loving is a 1958 song by Fats Domino, written by Domino and Dave Bartholomew.  The record won an Imperial Gold Record Award.

The lyrics begin ""I got a whole lotta lovin' for you, true true love for you"".

Life's So Funny: Life's So Funny is the fifth studio album by American country music artist Joe Diffie, released in 1995.  It contains the single "Bigger Than the Beatles", Diffie's last Number One single on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts.  Following this single were, in order: "C-O-U-N-T-R-Y", "Down in a Ditch", and "Whole Lotta Gone".  While "C-O-U-N-T-R-Y" and "Whole Lotta Gone" both peaked at #23, "Down in a Ditch" failed to chart.

C.C.S. (album): C.C.S. was the first studio album of the British blues outfit Collective Consciousness Society, led by guitarist Alexis Korner.  To avoid confusion with the group's second album with the same name, the album is often called "Whole Lotta Love", due to the inclusion of the Led Zeppelin song.  In the UK, "Boom Boom" was issued as the A-side of the single, however "Whole Lotta Love" charted at number 13 on the UK Official Charts.  In the US, the single charted at number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the album only charted at number 197 on the Billboard 200.
