Vinyl Vibes: Graham Russell

Via 2nurfm.com

This Sunday at 6:00pm, Jack Hodgin’s guest on Vinyl Vibes is Graham Russell from the duo Air Supply.

When they met on the set of a production of Jesus Christ Superstar in 1975, Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock discovered they both loved the music of The Beatles. Together they formed Air Supply, and their first single “Love and Other Bruises” would come out in 1976 and would be a top ten hit in Australia.

A few years later, they would find international success with their song “Lost in Love” which in 1980, would go to number 3 on the Billboard Top 100. This would be the beginning of a string of hits they would have in the US. Other US hits for the group would be “All Out Of Love” (Number 2 on the Billboard Top 100) , “Every Woman in the World” (Number 5 on the Billboard Top 100) and “Making Love Out of Nothing at All” (Number 2 on the Billboard Top 100).

Jack asks Russell about touring China and Vietnam at a time when most bands did not, the writing of “All Out of Love”, music videos and MTV, the group’s new single “Be Tough”, Graham’s upcoming book, and when the band is coming to Australia to play again.
