Air Supply Biography
With their heavily orchestrated, sweet ballads, the Australian
soft rock group Air Supply became a staple of early-'80s radio, scoring
a string of seven straight Top Five singles. Air Supply, for most
intents and purposes, was the duo of vocalists Russell Hitchcock and
Graham Russell; other members came through the group over the years,
yet they only functioned as backing musicians and added little to the
group's sound. Hitchcock and Russell met while performing in a Sydney,
Australia, production of Jesus Christ Superstar in 1976. The two
singers formed a partnership and with the addition of four supporting
musicians -- keyboardist Frank Esler-Smith, guitarist David Moyse,
bassist David Green, and drummer Ralph Cooper -- Air Supply was born.
For several years, the group gained no attention outside of Australia,
earning one significant hit single, Love and Other Bruises. Their
first international exposure came in the late '70s, when Rod Stewart
had them as his opening act on a North American tour. Air Supply signed
a record contract with Arista in 1980, releasing their first album by
the end of the year. Lost in Love, their debut, was a major success in
the U.S., selling over two million copies and spawning the hit singles
Lost in Love, All Out of Love, and Every Woman in the World. The
following year they released their second album, The One That You Love.
The title track became their only number one hit and it also featured
two other Top Ten hits, Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over
You) and Sweet Dreams. With their third album, 1982's Now and
Forever, their popularity dipped slightly -- it only had one Top Ten
hit, Even the Nights Are Better, and the other two singles, Young
Love and Two Less Lonely People in the World, scraped the bottom of
the Top 40. Air Supply released a Greatest Hits collection in 1983,
featuring a new single, Making Love Out of Nothing at All. The single
spent two weeks at number two while the album peaked at number seven
and eventually sold over four million copies.
Two years later, they released Air Supply, their fourth album. It
featured the number 19 single Just As I Am, but it was clear that
their audience was shrinking -- the album was their first not to go
platinum. Hearts in Motion (1986) was even less successful, peaking at
number 84 and spending only nine weeks on the charts. After its
disappointing performance, Air Supply broke up. Hitchcock and Russell
reunited in 1991, releasing Earth Is..., but the album failed to make
the charts as did 1993's Vanishing Race and 1995's News From Nowhere.
The new millennium marked the band's first studio album in four years,
and a summer tour in support of Yours Truly. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine,
