Air Supply was introduced to American audiences when Rod Stewart asked them to join him on tour. Air Supply signed a $1.5 million inter national deal with Arista and released Lost In Love in the U.S. In February 1980, the song had already reached No. 3 on Billboard’s charts. This was the first of seven consecutive singles to enter the American top five. Over the next three years, Air Supply produced hit after chart-rating hit: All Out Of Love, Every Woman In The World, Sweet Dreams, Even The Nights Are Better, and the smash hit Making Love Out Of Nothing At All, which remained at the No. 2 spot on Billboard’s charts for three weeks. In 1991, the group came back strong with the release of a new album, The Earth Is, beginning a trend of a new album released every other year. In 1995, in Taipei, Taiwan, they recorded their Great est Hits Live album, their first live album. Ticket prices range from $25 to $40, depending on seat location.

Whale watching while enjoying a fine meal in the Rogue River Restaurant! David Johnson, Lincoln City In many relationships, one Valentine’s Day a year just isn’t enough. To help everyone feel lovey-dovey, Air Supply will perform at Chinook Winds Casino on Oct. 3-4 at 8 p.m. The genesis of Air Supply began during an Australian production of Jesus Christ, Superstar in 1974. Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell had both obtained roles as apostles. During breaks in rehearsal, Russell would sit by himself and play his guitar. Before long, Hitchcock wandered over and began singing along with Russell’s tunes. The two quickly discovered a smooth musical harmony as well as a friendship that would prove to endure over the years. As they sang at Australian coffee houses, their soft, mellow tunes competed with hard rock and glam rock, which were popular at that time. Russell supplied the name when they formed their own group, dubbing it Air Supply because he thought of their music as a “breath of fresh air.” □ Win a Hawaiian Getaway!
