- Their song "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" peaked at number 2 on the US charts for three weeks behind Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (both songs were written by Jim Steinman). Tyler later covered the song on her 1995 album "Free Spirit".
- The name Air Supply was chosen as a contrast to Heavy Metal.
- By the time they hit it big in 1980 with the hits "All Out Of Love" and "Lost In Love," Russell and Hitchcock were in their early 30s and both had children and had no desire to indulge in drugs or other hedonism common in the industry. "A great night for us would be having a bottle of wine," Russell said in The Yacht Rock Book. "But we never got really crazy, and we perhaps paid the price for that, because we were never considered really 'cool.' We were having all these massive hits, but we weren't cool.".
- Members included Graham Russell, Russell Hitchcock, Jimmy Haun, Rex Goh, Ralph Cooper, David Green, David Moyse and Frank Esler-Smith.
- 1980s pop band.
