"Making Love Out of Nothing At All" is a power ballad written and composed by Jim Steinman and first released by Australian soft rock band Air Supply for their 1983 compilation album ''Greatest Hits''. It reached number 2 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song has been covered by many other artists, the most successful being that of Bonnie Tyler. == Background and recording == The song is a reworking of the main title theme from the 1980 film ''A Small Circle of Friends'', for which Jim Steinman wrote the score. It was first recorded by Air Supply, giving them a number two hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in the U.S. for three weeks. It was held off from the top spot by another Steinman production, Bonnie Tyler's recording of "Total Eclipse of the Heart". The song was subsequently released as a new track from their 1983 greatest hits album. The B-side of the single was "Late Again".〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=FunTrivia.com )〕 They have included the song on their numerous greatest hits and live albums, and recorded an acoustic version for their 2005 album ''The Singer and the Song''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=CD Baby )〕 Steinman offered the song, along with "Total Eclipse of the Heart", to Meat Loaf for his ''Midnight at the Lost and Found'' album; however, Meat Loaf's record company refused to pay Steinman for the material so Meat Loaf ended up writing compositions for the album himself. Steinman's songs were then offered to Bonnie Tyler and Air Supply. By 1983, Air Supply had changed much of its classic musician line-up, both in the recording studio and on tour. But Steinman, known for his lavish, rock-opera-ish type productions, used Bruce Springsteen's E-Street Band members Roy Bittan on keyboards and Max Weinberg on drums, to musically underscore the recording with like energies. Glam-rock icon of the 1970s Rick Derringer supplied the electric guitar solo that made the sound of "Making Love Out of Nothing At All" stand so drastically apart from most other Air Supply productions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Making Love Out of Nothing at All」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
