Air Supply version

"I'll Never Get Enough of You" was covered in 1981 by English/Australian soft rock duo Air Supply on their sixth album, The One That You Love .

The LP had previously produced three top 5 singles in the United States. Since the group already had another album pending, "I'll Never Get Enough of You" was not released as a fourth single in either North America or Europe. However, the label released the single in East Asia, including Japan, [2] where it became a top 10 hit in late 1981.[ citation needed ]
