	This is the original 45 RPM version of "Just As I Am" (Mercury Records #810 331-7) - - It was recorded and released in 1983. Two years later Air Supply released their version on Arista Records. Air Supply's version hit #3 on Billboard's AC chart and #19 on the POP chart. The Air Supply album that featured "Just As I Am" was certified GOLD. The Air Supply video of "Just As I Am" won VH1's Video Of The Year Award in 1985. Because Clive Davis "forced" Russell and Graham to record JUST AS I AM, they dislike the song and refuse to sing it in concert. Sorry guys, but it was your last hit record and I'm glad you recorded it.

	Story Behind the Song Original hook was written as, "Why don't you love me just as i am?" Dick and I wisely changed it. Lyrics Due to the Air Supply success the lyrics are available from numerous websites all over the internet.
