The Air That I Breathe

"The Air That I Breathe" is a song written by the British-Gibraltarian singer-songwriter Albert Hammond and the English songwriter Mike Hazlewood. The ballad was initially recorded by Hammond on his debut album, It Never Rains in Southern California (1972), and then by Phil Everly in 1973. In early 1974, a version by the Hollies reached number two on the UK singles chart. It was the Hollies' last major hit.
