Air Supply was one of those musical groups (duo) that the so-called "cool" guys would not admit to liking, but you'd see them singing it in the car when they didn't think anyone was looking.
LOL I grew up on Classic Rock but this was the music my mom listened to in the car so this was "just important" as Classic Rock" in my opinion... NOT one of the "cool guys..." I never had to lie about loving these guys, in fact I had their Greatest Hits cassette in my car in High School!!! 🤣❤
There was no auto tune then.. people could sing. This is why Steve Perry from journey was so amazing, he sang with no auto tune in concerts and sounded like this studio recordings.. just phenomenal talent. Air supply same, this was how they sounded with no pitch correction. Check out more Chicago for some great vocals.
As a teenager throughout the 70's, men were clearly more romantic. Expressing feelings came easy. We spent time talking, having adventures, experiencing life - no phones, no internet. It made a difference. All communications in relationships were Face to face - no texting. I think that's why 70's balads are just a step above the rest.
Tip of the iceberg for Air Supply. Graham Russel (tall guitarist) and Russell Hitchcock (vocalist, red shirt) are incredible and deserve more accolades than they have received.
Air Supply lead vocalist Russell Hitchcock holding the final note for "16.2 seconds". This was the longest-held note for a male pop singer until 1983, when Sheriff lead vocalist Freddy Curci held the final note of "When I'm with You" for 19.4 seconds.
"When I'm with You" by Sheriff is another song BP would probably like. I remember I was up late babysitting for a neighbor to earn some spending money when that song hit number one on the charts. I clapped and shouted forgetting that I was babysitting young kids. Luckily, I didn't wake them. 😆
Oh man, the music of my youth. Being a teenager and feeling like you're in love for the first time. God, this brings back soooo many memories. I raised my kids on Air Supply, Reo Speedwagon, and Journey. I miss those days.
They are one of the few people that I have seen in concert. They were wonderful. Russell Hitchcock does sound that way. That picture of them now shows how long ago the video was made.
He's not asking "what are you thinking of" in terms of "what did I do wrong?" He already KNOWS and has admitted that he was WRONG. He's asking what she's thinking in terms of being willing to take him back, NOW that he HAS admitted it! LOL
People today have no idea what romance is Wanting to smash somebody is not the same as loving somebody It’s a sad reality that most people do not understand
Richard Fink IV holds the record for the longest continuous vocal note at 2 minutes and 1.07 seconds, achieved in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 17, 2019. Fink previously held the record from 2009 to 2016, but trained hard to regain the title
Air Supply's 1980 song "All Out of Love" features a 16.2 second vocal note held by Russell Hitchcock, which was the longest note ever held by a male pop singer at the time
Can't go wrong with Air Supply. I was born in 70 and back then, as i know you well know, TRUE TALENT is how you made it, no auto correct or anything else to make a weak voice strong.
That moment when you know you’re about to cry but you can’t bring yourself to stop listening. Their Greatest Hits are epic and necessary music education.
Hey BP, yes that is his real voice, no auto tune, Russell Hitchcock is a natural tenor. Air Supply is an Aussie duo and they honed their harmonies when playing in small pubs in Melbourne, and they formed in 1975. I saw them in 2016, in a cosy theatre here in Brisbane QLD, and they still sounded so great. One of my favourite Aussie duo’s, great reaction BP💕💕
Air Supply's music is the sound tract for me dating my wife. We actually met Graham Russell (the tall one) when they were in Phoenix in the early 2020s. It was 40 years after we dated. Graham was a real down to earth bloke (guy). When we met, he offer to buy me a drink. Couldn't have that so I bought him one. We spoke for quite a while. Told him their music was the sound tract of our dating and he laughed. I knew why he laughed, but he didn't have to. He said that he'd heard that alot. In the words of my father, "Graham was good people. I am biased, but I love Air Supply.
@@ruthlafler5622 It was done quite often, and was one reason why records could be expensive to produce. Hearthrobs like Frankie Avalon owe their careers to it. AutoTune has reduced the number of takes needed, and has simply become standard practice. I have a friend with a daughter majoring in voice performance at Berklee. I've worked with her; she has no issues with pitch, yet she still has to practice recording with AutoTune in production lab, because if she wants professional work, she will have to expect it as part of the process. She won't need it, but it will be there anyway.

Love Casting Crowns. My daughter took her life in October of 2021 due to mental health problems and I had this video/song played at her memorial service. I know in my heart she is not suffering any longer and is with God. No more scars.
Air Supply is a soft rock duo formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1975, consisting of Englishman Graham Russell (vocals, guitar) and Australian Russell Hitchcock (vocals).
70's, 80's and even 90's music = friendship, romance, courtship, love. Sitting and listening to the record player playing music. Goinfg to dances were you danced and even sang to the music of Air supply, Ice House INX, Cold Chisel, Mondo Rock etc. Great Aussie bands. Couldn't do that today without people thinking there was artirial motives. If we had music from those decades, I think the world be a better place of love and understanding.
I have 2 sons, ages 25 and 26. They went with me to my ear doctor about a month ago. It's a father/son business. The son is in his 30s. We were talking about music and somehow this band came up. He had no idea who these guys are. My boys started singing songs. I just looked at him, shrugged my shoulders and said "They have vast musical knowledge". Made my kids laugh.
Being that I was a teenager, back in the 70’s and early 80’ music expressed true feelings and were used to say what a person couldn’t. I have a number of cassette tapes made for me that I still have today by my husband of 40 years and they always bring back the feelings and sweet memories. We were so blessed back then and that music can be enjoyed by others for lifetimes to come.
My husband took me to see AIR SUPPLY at Harrahs Cherokee NC a few months ago! They are in their 70's now and still sound the same! They are AMAZING!!!!!
I love Air Supply! I saw the in concert a month ago and they are still awesome! Next year will be their 50th year together, and you betcha I will go watch them again!
i had their Hawaiian video playing while in labor with my daughter! i told the lead singer, Russell Hitchcock, what i did, and he tells my story in interviews today!! i have been dubbed Labor Room Linda!! I've been a fan since the summer of 1980! his voice pierces my soul! thank you for reacting and lots of love!
Just saw them last weekend and they sound awesome still! That is Russell Hitchcock’s voice. He just turned 75, has a smoking hot wife, is all tatted up, and fit! Great show look for them in your area.
It's another one of those groups, like the Righteous Brothers, that sound even better live. Their absolute best, in my opinion, is "Lost In Love" where the vocals soar into another world. Thank you for reacting to this great group of singers. Air Supply is another group I could listen to all day.
I saw them in person just a couple years ago. They are still seriously high quality singers. When I was in junior high I spent a summer memorizing this album.
Air Supply is still touring today!!! They are amazing!!! They sound exactly like this live! I've seen them a few times and they sound exactly like the record. The first time I saw them live I knew I loved the love songs, but they weren't my first choice. But after seeing them live, I decided I'm seeing them every time they come close to Louisville!!!
People used to give this group such shit for being soft pop. But they really did make some good music. Whenever I see them in videos I look at the (little guy), Russel Hitchcock and he reminds me more of Richard Simmons for some reason...lol. RIP Richard!
that's his voice.. we were in upstate new york on vacation with my in laws and they played one night ( show was free with your stay ) and all the people over 50 got up and walked out because they were to rock and roll.. we were like what?? really?? these guys???
I was 10 years old in 1970 and was so blessed to listen to the entire decade of beautiful talented voices in romantic songs with no auto tunes! Just pure talent 😊 Thank you for your great reaction ❤
They remind me so much of Bread. I got all the same feels from both. We still love to be spoken to like we’re the only woman in your life. That doesn’t mean you own me.
You HAVE TO LISTEN TO "Making Love Out of Nothing At All"! Those lyrics are like none other! Air Supply is just one of many awesome and one of a kind power ballad bands of the 80s!
I'd never noticed that before. . . he really does look real similar to Conway. No effects on his voice, that's all him. I'm 2 years older than BP. I've known my husband 25 years (married 25 in October) we would send, no jokes, mix tapes to each other. We each had a couple Air Supply songs on them...totally unplanned. *Dream weaver by Gary Wright* was one of our songs, another that he'd never heard was *Alison Krauss and Union Station's version of When You Say Nothing At All* .
I seen Air Supply in concert.had a blast. " Making love out of nothing at all"is another Beautiful song. I have to say you are one of few people doing reactions that is completely real. I love your facial expressions or when you're surprised. I've watched many reactions.there are fakes out there. So thank you for keeping it true & real. ❤
Nope, that’s his voice! This band. Especially this song. For those of us who were preteen/young teens, these love songs were everything! Get that cassette tape ready to go lol. I think I saw them in concert with the outfield in Providence once. Lighters were definitely out, you could still smoke in everywhere back then. Remember I love you from the climax blues band? Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty!
I saw them in concert last year and this year they were phenomenal.I took .my mama she the reason i love this kind music.She had the time of her life it will forever be one my favorite memories ❤

He held that note until the next album.
YAAAAASSSS!
“Making love out of nothing at all” is another great track!
He listened.
To that already
The most underrated band from down under, ever.

I was a teenager in the seventies too. I really miss the seventies and eighties and yes ... I'd love to go back and stay there
Making Love out of Nothing at All is a must hear.

Love me some Air Supply.
ahhhhh the age of the power rock ballad...

You're every woman in the World is my favorite Air Supply hit
I always liked that one. ❤️
The first song I ever danced to with the love of my love❤️
Me to great slow dance song
Love that one!
Air supply was my go to band when I needed a good cry. So many good songs.
70s n 80s were times of great ballads and love songs
Hard core Rapper listening to Air Supply. Ive seen it all!
At one time, he had the record for the longest note held in a song!
Great reaction!!😊
We had the best love songs and our guys were very romantic.
For just a few minutes I was back in 7th grade. In a darkened gym with balloons and streamers and watching all the lucky couples slow dancing.
I saw Air Supply about 7 years ago and they still sound just like this live. They're amazing.
I am so jealous I wish I could have gone !!!!!!!!!
He's not asking "what are you thinking of" in terms of "what did I do wrong?" He already KNOWS and has admitted that he was WRONG. He's asking what she's thinking in terms of being willing to take him back, NOW that he HAS admitted it! LOL
Exactly
People today have no idea what romance is
Wanting to smash somebody is not the same as loving somebody
It’s a sad reality that most people do not understand
your face when he held that last note!😂😂😂
I think, at the time, Russell legitimately holds that note -- because he did it live too -- for 15 -16 seconds which I think was a record at the time
Wrong Morton Harket of AHA took the Holding Longest Sustained Note From Prior Record Holder Carl Withers Which Stood From 1964
Try "ALWAYS" the Duet By Atlantic Starr It's Me & My Girls song
Richard Fink IV holds the record for the longest continuous vocal note at 2 minutes and 1.07 seconds, achieved in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 17, 2019. Fink previously held the record from 2009 to 2016, but trained hard to regain the title
Air Supply's 1980 song "All Out of Love" features a 16.2 second vocal note held by Russell Hitchcock, which was the longest note ever held by a male pop singer at the time
Montserrat Caballe was holding notes for 22-23 seconds back in the 50s.

No pitch correction back then. Just pure talent!
Right. Autotune/pitch correction didn't come along until the late 1990s.
Pitch correction goes back to the mid-1950s. It just took a little more work either splicing takes or manipulating the tape speed.
@Spo-Dee-O-Dee okay, it was technically possible. But it wasn't really done until digital recording made it easy.

This song is brilliant... The music today is just not the same .. today they are mostly preformers not musicians
Perfectly said 👍🎶😊
Air Supply- every women in the world is flames ..it's a great song you would dedicate to your girl
Another great Australian band ❤
They were the love ballad singers of the 80s. They were amazing
You sir are correct with your GOAT comments, but us older ladies like this stuff too.
My 12 yr old self skating backwards in 1981 with a 17 year old boy with a car is realllly feeling this one 😉
Yes, same. I was in junior high when this came out, and they always played it at the skating dome. Great times!
Skating backwards😂❤
I like when a left handed person restrings their guitar. I'm from the era when us lefties had to learn everything right handed
