"AIR SUPPLY"

Graham Russell & Russell Hitchcock met 40 years ago in 1973 in Bitchfield UK and started singing together in 1975.  An unbeatable 38 years career in the pop world, with 100 million albums sold, and hugely admired across the age groups. 'All Out of Love', released in 1980, is still popular whenever and wherever it is played, today.

We were at their concert at the Asia Expo last Sunday and what a trip down memory lane that was, just marvelous. The crowd was an interesting mix of ages, ethnicity and styles ... one that you do not normally see around town, certainly not at the same spot which goes to show how music unites. This is our second time, the first was in the early 90s but nothing seems to have changed since their first ever tour to Hong Kong back in 1981.  'Hello Hong Kong .... ' they cheered, and what followed was one more chapter for the history book as the 60s something, like us, bathed in nostalgia, the 40s in memory recall, the 30s in amazement, and the 20s in absolute awe because today's artists simply do not produce this sound, these lyrics and this kind of music anymore.  The 2-hour concert finished in a blitz, and we loved every minute of it.

Google YouTube 'Air Supply - All Out of Love' and make sure you have a box of tissues close by!
