Who tried "Making love out of nothing at all"?

Air Supply tried "Making Love Out of Nothing at All"—more precisely, the British-Australian soft rock duo recorded and released the power ballad in 1983. The song first appeared on their compilation album Greatest Hits and became one of their signature recordings.

The track was written and composed by Jim Steinman, who also produced and arranged the recording. Air Supply's Russell Hitchcock sang lead vocals, while Graham Russell supplied backing vocals. Steinman's dramatic, highly orchestrated style is central to the song's sweeping piano, layered arrangement, and theatrical climax.

Released as a single in July 1983, it reached No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks. It was held from the top spot by Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart," another Steinman composition, giving the songwriter two consecutive songs occupying the top two positions. The song has since been covered, including a 1995 version by Tyler, but Air Supply remains the canonical artist associated with the original hit recording.
