NO other band has probably used the word "love" more liberally than Air Supply in the history of pop music - their album titles include Love and Other Bruises (1977), Lost in Love (1980), The One That You Love (1981) and The Book of Love (1997). That's not all - their biggest hits include All Out of Love (1980) and Making Love Out of Nothing at All (1983).
It's a magical four-letter word which the Australian soft-rock duo of singer-songwriter-guitarist Graham Russell and vocalist Russell Hitchcock has made a career out of for four decades; and their power ballads weren't just big hits in the eighties but have lived on through the decades to remain a staple of late night radio on middle-of-the-road stations like Gold and Class 95 till this day.
It explains the healthy crowd of 5,000 - mostly middle-aged as expected but with a good sprinkling of twenty-somethings - which turned for the Singapore stop of Air Supply's current 40th anniversary world tour last Saturday at The Star Performing Arts Centre.
