This re-issue of Air Spply's 1981 album, "The One That You Love" is a highly impressive collection. I own the bulk of their catalog from the early days to the present. This release is one of their finest. There is not a bad song on this disc. The opener, "Don't Turn Me Away" is an uptempo track that proves they can handle rockers as well as ballads. Many fantastic ballads are found throughout. "I Want To Give It All", "Tonite" and "I've Got Your Love" are some of their finest moments in terms of melody. Combine these three gems with three top-5 five singles ("Sweet Dreams", "Here I Am", "The One That You Love") and you have an outstanding album. Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock are at the top of their game vocally and there is lush orchestration on every track. And with the superb remastered sound quality, you simply can't go wrong. Highly Recommended.

"Don't Turn Me Away" is one of the most fun songs ever!"I'll Never Get Enough of You" is also an amazing track. But you can't talk about "The One That You Love" without talking about the one take vocal track by the ever talented Russell Hitchcock. ONE TAKE!!! Listen to this song and you will be stunned outta yer britches. I LOVE AIR SUPPLY mostly because if you're falling in love, already in it, or heart broken,there's at least 9 or 10 Air Supply songs that you can relate to. God bless y'all

A very good CD! Air Supply's second album in the US (sixth album total), this showcases their many talents. They have skills from the ballads like "I Want To Give It All" and "The One That You Love" to the more upbeat songs like "Sweet Dreams" and "This Heart Belongs To Me". "Keeping The Love Alive" and "Here I Am" are kinda sappy (okay, really sappy), but they're just so... you know. This album reached #2 on the charts, and included many Top Five Hits. Not to mention the title track, which became their only #1 hit. Worth a listen!

After looking all over for "Air Supply - The One That You Love" CD, I found it here. Almost wish I hadn't. About the only thing NOT wrong with this order WAS the packaging. The song title listings (numbers) on the CD cover DO NOT match the sequence in which they appear on the CD. The end of the tracks on the CD overlap the beginning of the next track by as much as 20 seconds; with the last track "I've Got Your Love" (#10 on the CD; #7 on the cover) being cut short by about 20 seconds.

Air Supply's sophomore American release spawned three Top 10 singles including the title track,HERE I AM and SWEET DREAMS. A small,staid label called Buddah,re-released this album in 2001 around its 20th anniversary. Air Supply was under contract with Arista(this album was originally released on Arista) for at least most of the 1980's. This album brings the duo's Top 10 hit total to six. Other memorable 1981 Arista releases include Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio's A WOMAN NEEDS LOVE and Gino Vannelli's NIGHTWALKER.

What can i say that hasn't done been said except buy this cd for Valentine's Day and let her be the one that you love. Rondall

Luis Mejia (son) - Air Supply's 1981 The One That You Love makes a special point of transition in which their music is perfectly matched into commercial terms, fame, and most graceful quality, this album is their best third reference when it comes to buying their studio albums away from compilations. The album is notoriously talented, specially when, after hearing much more albums, The One That You Love may stand as the only album where it is reflected their pure intentions, comfortable compositions and original moods (as they later became somewhat slick); swinging from its best songs, the uptempo power ballad "Don't Turn Me Away", major hit "Here I Am (Just When I Thought I was Over You)", the theatrical perfection of #1 hit "The One That You Love", which its maybe their most original, reflective song, the powerful, heavily orchestrated #5 hit "Sweet Dreams", which may stand as their only "fierceful" song ever, the soft and tender, melodic "I Want To Give It All" and the poppy "I'll Never Get Enough Of You" are Air Supply's most remarkable, original trace, even throughout their LATER career. Even if it is a very famous release full of talented hits, its not their best, as it became too commercialy induced that of ten fall into sappy, and the low sound quality of this remastered version may not help out, but still I can recommend best their most truthful release Lost In Love and the too underrated album Air Supply (1985). Even if you're a die hard fan, you'll notice that in The One That You Love is where the whole thing really started for Air Supply.

Of every album they have ever released, this wTHE ONE THAT YOU LOVExhas been being the best album for me. the reasons are various..beauty of their harmony..RUSSEL's impressive voice..high quality of the songs..beautiful front cover design(JAPANESE version CD). specifically, "Here I Am" is the one of the finest song i have ever listened to(unfortunatery, this song is NOT AIR SUPPLY's original. this one is NORMAN SALEET's composition). "I Will Never Get Enough Of You" is also romantic ballad and it was used for main theme of the TV drama in JAPAN 1983 and it became top 10 hit at the same time! and ofcourse, many other great songs are in this album. although I guarntee that almost all AIR SUPPLY album give listener a beautiful music,
if I am forced to choose 1 album of AIR SUPPLY for my recommendation, I would choose this album.

VAYA QUE LA DIVERSIDAD MUSICAL ES TAN EXTENSA...UN EJEMPLO SON LAS BALADAS DE A.S., ESTE ALBUM ES CONSIDERADO DENTRO DE MI PERCEPCION PERSONAL COMO MUY BUENO, CANCIONES QUE NO FUERON COMERCIALES EN SU MOMENTO COMO "KEEPING THE LOVE ALIVE" (CON ESTA ROLA ARRULLABA A LA BODOS CUANDO NO CUMPLIA SU 1ER AÑO DE VIDA Y RESULTABA MAGICA, ESTO APROX. CASI 20 AÑOS DE SER EDITADO ¡¡) O "DUN'T TURN ME AWAY". AGRADECIDO CON LA NOSTALIGA QUE PROVOCAN SUS LIRICAS Y ARMONIAS. MORK. ZAPOPAN, JAL. MEXICO
