...“Lost in Love” was released in Australia in 1978 and again soared to the top of the charts. It found its way to Clive Davis, founder, and president of Arista Records, who immediately offered Air Supply a record deal. The song was released in 1980 and became the fastest selling in the world, topping the charts in a multitude of countries. “All Out of Love” was the second single released and topped the worldwide charts once again.
Seven consecutive Top Five singles at that time equaled The Beatles’ run. The albums Lost in Love, The One that You Love, Now and Forever and The Greatest Hits sold in excess of 20 million copies. “Lost in Love” was named song of the year in 1980 and along with the other singles, sold more than 10 million copies.
The trademark sound of Russell Hitchcock’s soaring tenor voice and Graham Russell’s simple but majestic compositions created a unique sound that would be forever known as Air Supply.
It is the live shows that always hold the audiences captive around the world. They were the first western group to tour China, Taiwan and most of Southeast Asia. Some of these countries had forbidden pop music to cross their borders.
In 1983, they recorded “Making Love Out of Nothing At All,” written by Jim Steinman, which solidified the group as a permanent force in modern music. The song was included on The Greatest Hits album, which sold 7 million copies in the United States alone.
“Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love,” “The One That You Love,” “Sweet Dreams,” and “Making Love Out of Nothing at All” each achieved multi-million plays on the radio.
Air Supply began to tour with lavish production in places very few acts had performed before, and in South America and Asia, it became a part of everyone’s life. In 1988 they were invited to participate in Australia’s Bi-Centennial celebrations and perform for HRH Prince Charles and HRH Princess Diana, who they learned were ardent fans. This engagement would be one of the most treasured in their career.
In 1990, they recorded The Earth Is album, selling over a million copies. This album was followed by The Vanishing Race and with the singles “Goodbye” and “It’s Never Too Late” again achieved multi-platinum success. the following albums, News From Nowhere, Yours Truly and Across The Concrete Sky gave their second Greatest Hits album multi-platinum status as they continued to travel the globe….
