Airplay was a short-lived 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" (later recorded by Manhattan Transfer) and a cover 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.[1] |
