Airplay (80s US soft rock group)

Airplay was an American band, formed by David Foster and Jay Graydon. The band released a self-titled album in 1980, containing "Nothin' You Can Do About It" (originally recorded by the Manhattan Transfer, written by Foster and Graydon with Steve Kipner) and the original recording of the Earth, Wind & Fire hit "After the Love Has Gone", written by Foster and Graydon with Bill Champlin. Graydon was asked about Airplay in a 2014 interview: Did you guys ever envision Airplay becoming a full-time, touring type of band? David wanted to tour and I didn't. A dumb move on my part.
