Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Air Supply - All Out Of Love !!

[@richardbuchko4910]

Air Supply was one of those musical groups (duo) that the so-called "cool" guys would not admit to liking, but you'd see them singing it in the car when they didn't think anyone was looking.

[@carolbuscher3862]

I agree 💯% I'm 59 always my favorite song

[@Spo-Dee-O-Dee]

At that age no song is so dreadful you won't practice it for the chance that it might get you laid.

[@znbwlr]

FACTS!

[@gregwhitcoe5411]

LOL I grew up on Classic Rock but this was the music my mom listened to in the car so this was "just important" as Classic Rock" in my opinion... NOT one of the "cool guys..." I never had to lie about loving these guys, in fact I had their Greatest Hits cassette in my car in High School!!! 🤣❤

[@TooOldToCare-kl3co]

The most underrated band from down under, ever.

[@michaelmorris423]

He held that note until the next album.

[@poqaqoe25]

YAAAAASSSS!

[@joanmest4752]

No pitch correction 100% HIM

[@ianshearer6813]

“Making love out of nothing at all” is another great track!

[@terryconnelly484]

He listened. To that already

[@tdig6546]

We didn't have any pitch correction back then...just actual real talent...

[@dewaynejelks9088]

Tip of the iceberg for Air Supply. Graham Russel (tall guitarist) and Russell Hitchcock (vocalist, red shirt) are incredible and deserve more accolades than they have received.

[@rhphotocdn]

Air Supply lead vocalist Russell Hitchcock holding the final note for "16.2 seconds". This was the longest-held note for a male pop singer until 1983, when Sheriff lead vocalist Freddy Curci held the final note of "When I'm with You" for 19.4 seconds.

[@aura81295]

"When I'm with You" by Sheriff is another song BP would probably like. I remember I was up late babysitting for a neighbor to earn some spending money when that song hit number one on the charts. I clapped and shouted forgetting that I was babysitting young kids. Luckily, I didn't wake them. 😆

[@kellystevens5681]

As a teenager throughout the 70's, men were clearly more romantic. Expressing feelings came easy. We spent time talking, having adventures, experiencing life - no phones, no internet. It made a difference. All communications in relationships were Face to face - no texting. I think that's why 70's balads are just a step above the rest.

[@thomaswhitten2537]

And THAT is why my spouse and I were married 40yrs,up until my sweetheart,my person,my everything,the one that completed me passed in 2023...😥😢😥

I saw Air Supply about 7 years ago and they still sound just like this live. They're amazing.

[@kathysiedlecki6364]

I am so jealous I wish I could have gone !!!!!!!!!

[@TheAlmaward]

He's not asking "what are you thinking of" in terms of "what did I do wrong?" He already KNOWS and has admitted that he was WRONG. He's asking what she's thinking in terms of being willing to take him back, NOW that he HAS admitted it! LOL

[@swtp32]

Exactly

[@Emilie-one]

There was no auto tune then.. people could sing. This is why Steve Perry from journey was so amazing, he sang with no auto tune in concerts and sounded like this studio recordings.. just phenomenal talent. Air supply same, this was how they sounded with no pitch correction. Check out more Chicago for some great vocals.

[@sahreeyurblu]

Making Love out of Nothing at All is a must hear.

[@vonbass1300]

Hard core Rapper listening to Air Supply. Ive seen it all!

[@wegotlumpsofitroundtheback5065]

I think, at the time, Russell legitimately holds that note -- because he did it live too -- for 15 -16 seconds which I think was a record at the time

[@Memorylanemodelcars2]

Wrong Morton Harket of AHA took the Holding Longest Sustained Note From Prior Record Holder Carl Withers Which Stood From 1964

[@Memorylanemodelcars2]

Try "ALWAYS" the Duet By Atlantic Starr It's Me & My Girls song

[@kenneth2875]

Richard Fink IV holds the record for the longest continuous vocal note at 2 minutes and 1.07 seconds, achieved in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 17, 2019. Fink previously held the record from 2009 to 2016, but trained hard to regain the title

[@joe.man.]

Air Supply's 1980 song "All Out of Love" features a 16.2 second vocal note held by Russell Hitchcock, which was the longest note ever held by a male pop singer at the time

[@Spo-Dee-O-Dee]

Montserrat Caballe was holding notes for 22-23 seconds back in the 50s.

[@johnnymayweather7476]

Air Supply- every women in the world is flames ..it's a great song you would dedicate to your girl

[@krissysmith5643]

My 12 yr old self skating backwards in 1981 with a 17 year old boy with a car is realllly feeling this one 😉

[@blakerh]

Yes, same. I was in junior high when this came out, and they always played it at the skating dome. Great times!

[@Chronicmom68]

Oh man, the music of my youth. Being a teenager and feeling like you're in love for the first time. God, this brings back soooo many memories. I raised my kids on Air Supply, Reo Speedwagon, and Journey. I miss those days.

[@gray6071]

70s n 80s were times of great ballads and love songs

[@rayfaircloth8253]

"Just As I Am" is another great song by Air Supply. Kind of in the vein of "Making Love Out of Nothing At All".

[@derekgraziano9499]

This song is brilliant... The music today is just not the same .. today they are mostly preformers not musicians

[@333perfection]

Perfectly said 👍🎶😊

[@jambrunelda]

At one time, he had the record for the longest note held in a song! Great reaction!!😊

[@markk.4941]

No pitch correction back then. Just pure talent!

[@ruthlafler5622]

Right. Autotune/pitch correction didn't come along until the late 1990s.

[@Spo-Dee-O-Dee]

Pitch correction goes back to the mid-1950s. It just took a little more work either splicing takes or manipulating the tape speed.

[@ruthlafler5622]

@Spo-Dee-O-Dee okay, it was technically possible. But it wasn't really done until digital recording made it easy.

[@Spo-Dee-O-Dee]

@@ruthlafler5622 It was done quite often, and was one reason why records could be expensive to produce. Hearthrobs like Frankie Avalon owe their careers to it. AutoTune has reduced the number of takes needed, and has simply become standard practice. I have a friend with a daughter majoring in voice performance at Berklee. I've worked with her; she has no issues with pitch, yet she still has to practice recording with AutoTune in production lab, because if she wants professional work, she will have to expect it as part of the process. She won't need it, but it will be there anyway.

[@Spo-Dee-O-Dee]

@@ruthlafler5622 If a video appears on an official label channel, like this one, it has likely been pitch-corrected (again) in the last few years. CD reissues are subject to the same revision at the discretion of the suits.

[@tiaelina1090]

Hey BP, yes that is his real voice, no auto tune, Russell Hitchcock is a natural tenor. Air Supply is an Aussie duo and they honed their harmonies when playing in small pubs in Melbourne, and they formed in 1975. I saw them in 2016, in a cosy theatre here in Brisbane QLD, and they still sounded so great. One of my favourite Aussie duo’s, great reaction BP💕💕

[@jasonaugustine3370]

People today have no idea what romance is Wanting to smash somebody is not the same as loving somebody It’s a sad reality that most people do not understand

[@RChapin76]

Air supply was my go to band when I needed a good cry. So many good songs.

[@kaybear1972]

Being that I was a teenager, back in the 70’s and early 80’ music expressed true feelings and were used to say what a person couldn’t. I have a number of cassette tapes made for me that I still have today by my husband of 40 years and they always bring back the feelings and sweet memories. We were so blessed back then and that music can be enjoyed by others for lifetimes to come.

[@homefry707]

That moment when you know you’re about to cry but you can’t bring yourself to stop listening. Their Greatest Hits are epic and necessary music education.

[@pagemeredith4532]

I love this band, I grew up listening to their music.

[@deniackeridge5273]

I have 2 sons, ages 25 and 26. They went with me to my ear doctor about a month ago. It's a father/son business. The son is in his 30s. We were talking about music and somehow this band came up. He had no idea who these guys are. My boys started singing songs. I just looked at him, shrugged my shoulders and said "They have vast musical knowledge". Made my kids laugh.

[@ahwhite2022]

What's crazy is those dudes can still hit and sustain those notes. I just saw them live a couple of years back.

[@JenniferMcInnes271157]

70's, 80's and even 90's music = friendship, romance, courtship, love. Sitting and listening to the record player playing music. Goinfg to dances were you danced and even sang to the music of Air supply, Ice House INX, Cold Chisel, Mondo Rock etc. Great Aussie bands. Couldn't do that today without people thinking there was artirial motives. If we had music from those decades, I think the world be a better place of love and understanding.

[@user-jt6sl6sn3n]

Air Supply is a soft rock duo formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1975, consisting of Englishman Graham Russell (vocals, guitar) and Australian Russell Hitchcock (vocals).

Saw them in person many times back in the day…sounded as good live as recording. In fact, once, Russell had fallen off the stage the night before and broken some ribs. It was touch and go whether they would be able to perform that night. You could tell he was miserable, but he sang, held on to his ribs at one point … and still hit the note.

[@MotownCrypto]

One of my fav groups

[@julieholbrook5302]

I was ten when the wreck happened. Grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan in Shorewood, Wisconsin. The event itself was a formative memory. The song became a huge top 40 hit. I grew up haunted by this song. Fast forward to teaching 4th Grade in the inner city of Milwaukee. I taught the history of the State of Wisconsin. Once we got past glaciers, I did a study of the Great Lakes Water Highway as it was the path on which traders, missionaries and explorers took that led to settling the area known as the midwest. As part of the Water Highway, we also studied Great Lakes ship wrecks. Every year, on November 10th, I taught this song. We read the old Milwaukee Journal articles on the event, followed by reading the lyrics, before ever playing the song. Once I played the video (the one that highlights pictures of the ship, the crew and the bell), you could hear a pin drop in the classroom. Inner-city 10 year olds sat in silence and reverence for the story, the power of the Great Lakes and the men whose lives were lost. Kids cried. Many went home, told their parents about the song, came back and asked to hear it the next day. A testament to the power of music, the power of folk music in our history. Music transcends culture.
