Unlike many of their peers, though, they had a gift for genuinely memorable, melodically substantive songs. Main writer Graham R. handily mixed MOR with a Paul McCartney/classic-pop influence to turn out the likes of "Lost in Love" and countless others. He and Hitchcock traded off on lead vocals (often within the same song) in a totally organic, seamless way that became a trademark. This collection features smashes like the aforementioned "Lost in Love," "All Out of Love," and "The One That You Love" (are you sensing a lyrical thread here?), but also delves a bit deeper into the Air Supply story by offering such items as their cover of the Badfinger classic "Without You" and much more.

Australian MOR/soft-pop group Air Supply started recording in the mid-'70s, but it was their first US album, 1980's LOST IN LOVE, that brought them a flurry of hits ("Lost in Love," "Every Woman in the World," "All out of Love") and international acclaim. The heart of the band is singer/songwriters Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell, whose gentle voices and delicately constructed pop songcraft meshed perfectly with the albums' lush production to make Air Supply one of the best-selling acts of their era. Though Air Supply's soft sound fell out of favor by the time the '90s rolled around, Russell and Hitchcock continued working together with a shifting lineup of accompanists.
