History
Formation
The two met in May 1975 while performing in the Australian production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. Later that year, the duo, along with Chrissie Hammond and two others, formed Air Supply as a five-man group. Hammond left the band and was replaced by Jeremy Paul in time for the group’s first Australian hit single, “Love and Other Bruises. ” It was followed by a debut album that reached gold in Australia, which featured keyboardist/arranger Adrian Scott, drummer Jeff Browne, and guitarist Mark McEntee. Singles during this period included “Empty Pages” and “Do What You Do”. The group was invited to open for Rod Stewart during his tour of Australia; he was so impressed with their performance that he invited them to be the opening act during his tour of the United States. During this tour, Jeremy Paul left the band. (He later played with the original lineup of the Divinyls, led by Chrissie Amphlett and Mark McEntee.)
Eager to prove that they could succeed as a duo, Air Supply released the album Love & Other Bruises, which included re-recordings of many of their earlier hits. Although their music met with some success, Graham Russell on the 1995 DVD recalls that he and Hitchcock were so poor that they were reduced to checking the backs of hotel sofas for change so that they could buy bread to make toast.

I just saw one of their tour concerts last October, and they haven't lost their touch! One of the best soft rock musicians ever. Can't wait for their next album this 2010, it's going to be awesome!

timeless, classic, essential soft rock/MOR/adult contemporary early 80's tunes this duo produced. even if you think you don't know who they are you've surely heard and admired multiple songs by them: lost in love, the one that you love, all out of love, even the nights are better... i could go on. brings back great memories of growing up in north carolina in the early 80's with only one fm radio station: top 40 Q98 wqsm. sway with me now...
