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 music industry after the dissapointment of the album Hearts In Motion. The album is composed by 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 it's release. 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, being the most famous "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 & 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....
