Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock met on May 12, 1975, on the first day of rehearsals for the Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar in Sydney. They became instant friends who shared much in common, including their love of The Beatles.
Seven consecutive Top-Five singles at that time equaled The Beatlesā run. The albums Lost in Love, The One That You Love, Now and Forever, and The Greatest Hits sold in excess of 20 million copies. āLost in Loveā was named song of the year in 1980 and along with the other singles, sold more than 10 million copies.
The trademark sound of Russell Hitchcockās soaring tenor voice and Graham Russellās simple but majestic compositions created a unique sound that would be forever known as Air Supply.
