Talk:The Air That I Breathe

Why is there the mentioning of Phil Everly within the box in upper right corner? ("Song by ...")
While Hammond is mentioned as one of the writers of the song... Maybe no mistake, but I do not get the clou... Okay, Phil Everly is listed as "first coverer", but the record "It never rains in Southern California" is of Albert Hammond, isn't it?! Thanks a lot.

Why is this article in Category:1998 singles?
Does it really belong there? --zenohockey 21:23, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Creep?
Shouldn't there be some mention of the Radiohead song using this melody? Check the article on Creep. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.158.139 (talk) 07:35, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Not a Creep
Not enough similarities there for plagiarism. Please provide source other than a dead link and an invalid Guardian(which even if it were on this issue is not a source) article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.164.56.68 (talk) 18:16, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

creep issue
The linked to archive with Hammond's quote says it was the publisher of The Air That I Breathe who sued Radiohead, not Hammond and Hazlewood. I've edited the line accordingly.Verlaine76 (talk) 13:03, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Hammond infobox
I don't see why being the first to perform is sufficient to include the infobox about his recording. Furthermore, having two infoboxes in the lead would impact the reading on Mobile View (e.g. your smartphone). Not every article needs an infobox about original recordings. Right? --George Ho (talk) 02:01, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It's a historical recording, it gives more info about it in the box, i restored his infobox because he wrote and first performed the song. We shouldn't give the artist who popularized it all the credit, fails WP:UNDUE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Popculturelover2021 (talk • contribs) 14:58, 23 January 2022  (UTC)
 * That's not what undue weight means. According to policy, Giving due weight and avoiding giving undue weight means articles should not give minority views or aspects as much of or as detailed a description as more widely held views or widely supported aspects. Generally, the views of tiny minorities should not be included at all, except perhaps in a "see also" to an article about those specific views. Also, undue weight is part of NPOV. I don't see how undue weight applies to the two-infobox situation. --George Ho (talk) 16:19, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Phil Everly
I heard an interview, somewhere, that the Hollies were in the studio when Phil Everly was recording a new album and included 'Air That I Breathe' and they were stunned by it. When the record company pushed for another song to be the EB single, the Hollies said that they rushed into the studio to record their own version and rushed out the release.

I cannot find much about that online, except this little bit and this information. This link may have the most definitive reference to Everly. Is this information good enough to make an edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lhammer610 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
