Air Supply
The history of Air Supply began when a young Englishman, Graham Russell, met a young Australian, Russell Hitchcock, while they were cast members of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Australian production of the stage musical "Jesus Christ Superstar", in 1975. They soon learned that they had a similar, growing appreciation and love for all things involving music, prompting Graham to show the songs he had written to Russell; and quickly a desire to follow their hopes and dreams involving that world of music developed. The guys could be found singing and playing at local pubs finding that the crowds were amazingly receptive to their sound and to their style of soft rock ballads. Then, in 1976, the stage production came to it's end; and taking on the name "Air Supply" they released a single, "Love and Other Bruises" which was met with modest success and interest in Australia. Now, totally dedicated to the serious task of making music, the guys recorded an album in 1977 which they named "Love and Other Bruises" that reached #2 on the Australian charts. Air Supply was delighted to learn of a invitation to tour Australia, Canada and the U.S. opening for well-known singer Rod Stewart. Their album "The Whole Thing Started" was released later on in 1977, with the song "Do What You Do" reaching #16 on the Australian charts. Air Supply certainly wowed the music industry. Up until now there had been no promotions or professional training, but they met with successes at every turn. The additional notice by the public that the duo got while opening for Rod Stewart gave Air Supply their wider, international attention. So, after that tour ended and Air Supply returned to Australia, Graham and Russell's thoughts were to get back to the US.A. pronto!
