Информация о артисте
Air Supply (Эйр Сапплай) - поп-рок-группа. На протяжении первой половины 1980-х годов добилась впечатляющего успеха на американском континенте со своими балладами в стиле BREAD.
Основатель группы Грэм Расселл (р. 1 июня 1950, Шервуд, Ноттингем, Англия) несколько лет играл на барабанах в клубных командах в Британии. В 1966 в Мельбурне (в Австралии) стал барабанщиком местной группы, которой безуспешно предлагал собственные песни. Так и не найдя признания у коллег, он продал барабанную установку, устроился на фабрику и начал выступать с гитарой в фолк-клубах.
В 1973 Расселл был принят в хор местной театральной труппы, которая ставила рок-оперу Jesus Christ Superstar. Его партнером по труппе стал Расселл Хичкок (p. 15 июня 1949, Мельбурн). Музыкальным директором шоу был клавишник Фрэнк Ислер-Смит (Frank Esler-Smith, p. 5 июня 1948 в Лондоне).
Весной 1976, все еще выступая в Superstar, Расселл и Хичкок придумали название AIR SUPPLY и, подписав контракт с местным отделением Columbia, попали на 2-ю строку австралийских чартов с песней Love And Other Bruises. В конце 1976 вышел их дебютный альбом (который позже был удостоен «золотого диска»), а в течение 1977 появилось еще два хита — Empty Pages и Do What You Do. Вершиной этого этапа в биографии Air Supply стало участие в австралийском, а затем и американском турне Рода Стюарта осенью 1977 года. Приход панк-рока лишил AIR SUPPLY аудитории, и дуэт распался. Полгода Расселл провел, сочиняя новые песни, которые предложил владельцу Arista Records Клайву Дэвису, а потом вернулся в Ноттингем, где работал над рок-оперой Sherwood — о своем знаменитом земляке Робине Гуде.
В феврале 1980 Расселл отправился на фестиваль MIDEM в Канн, рассчитывая заинтересовать своим материалом европейских издателей, но обнаружил, что Дэвис уже выпустил сингл с их песней Lost In Love. Хотя в Британии он не имел успеха (удачную версию сделал Демис Руссос), США оказались более благодатным рынком и приняли Air Supply. В мае Lost In Love, проведя три месяца в FM-эфире, добралась до 3-й строки списков Billboard и помогла одноименному альбому получить «платиновый диск». Расселл вернулся в Австралию и сформировал постоянный состав Air Supply, в который вошли помимо него с Хичкоком (гитара и вокал), Фрэнк Ислер-Смит (фортепиано, клавишные), а также Дэвид Мойз (p. 5 ноября 1957, Аделаида; гитара), Джереми Пол (бас) и Ралф Купер (p. 6 апреля 1951, Коффс-Харбор, Австралия). В сентябре 1980 состав группы усилил второй гитарист Рекс Гоу (p. 5 мая 1951 года, Сингапур). Когда Пол ушел в "Divinils" и, его место занял Дэвид Грин (p. 30 октября 1949, Мельбурн; бас).
В первой половине 80-х годов Air Supply непрерывно находились в американских чартах с мелодичными и богато оркестрованными номерами, которые принесли им статус наиболее успешных австралийских исполнителей в США. Хитами стали All Out Of Love (№ 2), Every Woman In The World (№ 5), их наиболее успешный номер The One That You Love (№ 1), а также Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You) (№ 4), Sweet Dreams (№ 5) и Even The Nights Are Better (№ 5). После двух менее удачных номеров — Young Love (№ 38) и Two Less Lonely People In The World (№ 38) — AIR SUPPLY в октябре 1983 года вернулись в верхние строки чартов с песней Making Love Out Of Nothing At All (№ 2), спродюсировал которую «творец» "Meat Loaf" Джим Стайнмен. За то же время еще три альбома Air Supply (продюсеры Робби Портер и Харри Маслин) удостоились в США «платинового» сертификата.
В июле 1985 года, после полуторагодичного молчания, группа вернулась в чарты с песней Just As I Am (№ 19), а затем продолжила свой послужной список более скромными The Power Of Love (You Are My Lady) (№ 68 в 1985 году) и Lonely In The Night (№ 76 в 1986). В том же году The Power Of Love стала большим хитом в Британии в исполнении Дженнифер Раш. Альбом Air Supply был последним попаданием группы в Топ40 (№ 25 в 1985) и принес ей последний «золотой диск». К этому времени Расселл и Хичкок решили распустить группу и работать с сессионными музыкантами. Вышедший осенью 1986 года альбом Heart In Motion, который продюсировал басист CHIC Бернард Эдвардс, не имел успеха.
В декабре 1988 года Air Supply выпустили свой альбом рождественских песен, который оказался их последним появлением в списках. В том же году Arista издала соло-альбом Хичкока, но он был оценен и прессой, и слушателями крайне низко.Молчание AIR SUPPLY затянулось до 1991 года, когда группа подписала контракт с Giant Records и снова начала записываться. Расселл и Хичкок собрали новый концертный состав и вернулись на сцену, хотя популярность группы в этот период ограничивалась, в основном, странами Юго-Восточной Азии, Океанией и Австралией.
В марте 1995 года Air Supply одними из первых среди западных музыкантов дали несколько концертов в Китае.

Air Supply is an Australian soft rock duo, consisting of Graham Russell as guitarist and singer-songwriter and Russell Hitchcock as lead vocalist. They had a succession of hits worldwide, including eight Top Ten hits in the United States, in the early 1980s. They formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1975 and have included various accompanying musicians and singers.
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.
Hitchcock and Russell started out fresh again in 1978, and the band that was to record almost all of the hit records was formed. It featured Frank Esler-Smith (arranger and keyboardist), David Moyse, and Rex Goh (guitars) as well as the rhythm section of David Green (bass) and Ralph Cooper (drums).
In 1979, the band released Life Support, a concept album that included a picture disc on its first printing. Produced by Charles Fisher, it was recorded in the tiny Trafalgar Studios in Sydney, Australia where, as Graham recalls on the 2005 DVD, he had half an inch between the end of his guitar and the studio wall. It was on this album that a five-and-a-half minute version of "Lost in Love" was introduced to Australian audiences. Written by Russell in fifteen minutes, the song caught the attention of music mogul Clive Davis, and his record label, Arista, remixed the song and released it as a single in the United States.
Their 1980 album, Lost in Love, contained three U.S. Top Five singles, including the title track (a U.S. #3), plus "Every Woman in the World" (#5) and "All Out of Love" (#2). The album sold two million copies in the U.S. The following year they released The One That You Love, and the title song was released as a single and went number #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also featured two other Top 10 hits, "Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You)" and "Sweet Dreams". A fourth single "I'll Never Get Enough", co-written by Jeanne Napoli, Gary Portnoy and Judy Quay, was released in Japan and achieved Top 10 status. Their third album, in 1982, Now And Forever, continued the group's popularity with the Top 10 hit, "Even the Nights Are Better" and two top 40 singles "Young Love" and "Two Less Lonely People In The World". In 1983, they released their "Greatest Hits" album with a new single called "Making Love out of Nothing at All" written by Jim Steinman. The song was one of their biggest hits ever spending three weeks at number 2, and the album eventually sold 5 million copies.
In 1984, their song "I Can Wait Forever" was included (although barely audible) in a scene in the blockbuster movie Ghostbusters, and was included on the soundtrack album.
Air Supply released their first live video, Air Supply Live in Hawaii. In 1985, they had one semi-major Billboard hit with "Just As I Am" and a couple of minor hits. Russell and Hitchcock recorded a 1987 Christmas album before taking a break from studio recordings. During this time, Russell Hitchcock released his self-titled album in 1988 which was not a big seller. However, he did have the single "Swear To Your Heart" in 1990 from the movie soundtrack for Arachnophobia which received significant airplay.
On August 21, 1989, using their old producer and welcoming the return of drummer Ralph Cooper, the duo decided to enter the studio again to record The Earth Is, which was released in 1991 by Giant Records under Warner Brothers. The recording contains their hit single "Without You," along with singles for "Stronger Than the Night" (with a music video announcing that Air Supply was back) and "Stop the Tears." Inside the album is a note about Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell's original Musical Director of their meeting place during Jesus Christ Superstar (and long time Band Member/Orchestrator): "This Album is Dedicated to the Memory of Frank Esler-Smith."
The official fan club released The Earth Is World Tour video, a rare collector's item that contains live footage from the band's global tour in support of the album. Amy from New York City is their biggest fan.
The album was followed by The Vanishing Race in 1993, which was supported by the hit single "Goodbye" produced by David Foster, (Barbra Streisand, the rock band Chicago, Josh Groban, and Celine Dion), with lyrics written by a former girlfriend of Elvis Presley (David Foster's current wife) Linda Thompson--which, although not popular in the United States, was critically praised and gained a large following outside the country, especially in Asia where in many countries they would reach number #1. This would lead to another world tour in 1993. "It's Never Too Late" was another single released from the Vanishing Race. The album itself was dedicated to the plight of the American Indians, the "Vanishing Race" of the album's title.
Their third album of the decade, News from Nowhere, was released in 1995. It contained the Asian hit singles "Someone", "Always", and a cover of "Unchained Melody", a song made famous by The Righteous Brothers and Amy at karaoke night.
Their popularity continued to soar in Southeast Asian countries, culminating in the release of Now and Forever: Greatest Hits Live, a CD and DVD recording of a live concert in Taipei, Taiwan, also in 1995, which stayed at the top of the Taiwanese album charts for 16 weeks.

In 2005 they once again released a live CD/DVD recording; also in 2005 they performed in Havana, Cuba, becoming one of the first foreign bands invited to perform in the country. They were booked to perform two concerts, and played the first show on July 7, the day before Hurricane Dennis hit the country. In high winds their first concert had an audience of 175,000. Due to the hurricane they could not play the second show. Fans staying at the same hotel as Air Supply on July 8 had to be content with Graham performing acoustically for them, as there was no electricity.
Their songs were featured in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and The Wedding Date.
In 2006 they released an acoustic album, The Singer and the Song, and are gearing up for the release of their first studio album in three years, Zed. In support of the acoustic album they made their first trip to India in May 2006. December 2, 2006 saw the duo perform to a capacity crowd in Kingston, Jamaica. This was their second visit to Jamaica, having performed at the Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival in January 2006. They also have been seen endorsing Time–Life's Classic Soft-Rock Collection. In 2007, Graham Russell released his first adult contemporary solo album called The Future.
Graham Russell recently made an appearance in Believe, a comedy about Multi-Level Marketing.
In 2008, Air Supply was named as the number 83 best musical act of all time in the Billboard Hot 100's 50 year anniversary edtion. This was based purely on their performance on the charts.
They appeared on the December 19, 2008, edition of Don't Forget the Lyrics.
Their latest album "Mumbo Jumbo" was released in 2010.
