"Russell Hitchcock" is the self-titled debut album by Russell Hitchcock, best known as the lead singer of Air Supply, released in 1988. By the time the Hitchcock made the album, Air Supply were having a break from the music industry after the disappointment of the album "Hearts In Motion". The album is composed of a number of interpretations and vocal duties by Hitchcock. The music was no different from the style of Air Supply, although the album sounds much more contemporary by the time of its release.Fact|date=July 2008 The album didn't reach the charts, though singles "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" and "Where Did The Feeling Go?" had a minor recognition. This would be the only album by Russell Hitchcock as a solo artist, although later on he released a number of singles, the most famous being "Swear To Your Heart" from the film "Arachnophobia". Others include "Russell Hitchcock & Judith Durham from the I Am An Australian Album", "De Todos Modos" (Russell Hitchcock and Ednita Nazario) - from the album "Super Exitos 1991" and "Is It You (Russell Hitchcock & Rita Coolidge duet) - 1995". Air Supply reunited in 1991 for the album "The Earth Is...".
