All Sports Band was an American pop/rock musical group who saw minor chart success in the early 1980s. The band was manufactured by Tracy Coats, who sought to appeal to a youthful market by dressing the band members as sports figures. Coats spent 18 months auditioning tapes before selecting the band members. The represented sports were auto racing, baseball, boxing, football, and martial arts. Their first charting single was "I'm Your Superman" which reached Billboard Hot 100 chart position #93 on November 28, 1981 and was on the chart for two weeks. Their second Hot 100 single, "Opposites Do Attract", did a little better, reaching position 78 and staying for three weeks, beginning February 6, 1982. Both were on the Radio Records label, which was distributed by Atlantic Records. The band appeared on both Solid Gold and American Bandstand.
