The intro to this song is SKY HIGH.....such an awesome build-up!....the rest of the song is pure 70's pop....and that's cool! 🙂
Cuz it was for the soundtrack for a movie
@@mike04574 What movie?
man from hong kong. One of the reasons it got popular@@Belluser-we1uc5cb2l
I thought this song.And Magic by Pilot was the same group!
I would say it's pure disco especially since there was an unseen orchestra behind them.
Im always amazed I can still remember the words to these "old" songs but locked myself out of my apartment last night and had to crawl through a window 😂😂😂
xD !
Memory and music has such an interesting relationship! It's like certain songs are like time machines for me. They can instantly take me back to times in my youth, and often very specific moments.
Sorry to hear about you getting locked out of your apartment. 😮
@@johnbottar7624 so true! I have brain damage (among other things) from an accident where I was walking in a crosswalk and a car hit me. My cognitive abilities are affected the most. I turned 60 this year and so the combination of aging and brain damage is rough. I'm just glad I remembered that there was a window I could get into LOL 😂
You too?😂
@@shirleyjones9460 I'm so sorry to hear of your troubles. That is horrible. I hope the person responsible has been held accountable, but mostly I hope you have found peace and continue to find comfort in the things that bring you joy...like 70s music 😂 and all of Amber and Jay's wonderful reactions!
Another auditory gem and one hit wonder from Jigsaw, again showing off the fact that the greatest decade in music was and is the magical 70s. And shouts to the 80s and 60s, which closely follow. 70s rule❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song reminds me of when I was little. A lot of good music came out in the 70's. ❤
We ha
we had it pretty good back then
Singing drummers are worth their weight in gold-because it takes an extraordinary amount of musical coordination.
As a kid....THIS was my first song, that I fell in love with, outside of my parent's choice!
I finally had my own transistor radio, and listened constantly... especially at night, keeping it low, under my pillow so my parents didn't know I was still awake. Jigsaw, and Sky High became my favorite song, for my 8 year old, little heart! ❤
As a teenager, when this song first released, I actually thought is was Paul McCartney and Wings...haha!!
I do remember this song getting a TON of radio airplay...not too surprising.
So did I!
Me too!
Now you mention it, it does sound a lot like them.
very live and let die
I also thought it was Paul McCartney and Wings, all the way up until I saw the thumbnail for this reaction, lol!
Huge hit in '75 just as disco was coming in. It was catchy and all over the radio. The only song I ever heard from them.
This is a great track, the lead singer and drummer on this was, Des Dyer, he formed the band with Clive Scott, the bassist was Barrie Bernard. This was the theme for a Kung Fu crossover film, in the vein of 'Enter the Dragon' part Australian part Asian, it was called 'The Man From Hong Kong' 1975 starring Jimmy Wang Yu, Sammo Hung and George Lazenby. Jimmy Wang Yu was well known for his films, 'The One-Armed Boxer', 'The One-Armed Swordsman' and 'The Chinese Boxer', 'The Man from Hong Kong' was supposed to be the film which would launch his career in the West but in 1976 he was involved with the 'Bamboo Union' a Taiwanese triad, in a restaurant in Taipei four members of the rival 'Four Seas' triad were killed, more trouble followed in 1979 and in 1981 which put an end to his career internationally.
You know your movies. Great opening scene of hanggliding in Hong Kong with this song playing - how apt . The man from HK was also filmed in Sydney and featured sone of australia leading actors at the time - the movie featured another great piece of music a song called a man is a man is man sung by Deena Webster also known as Deena Greene an underrated singer in australia original from the UK. Here is the song from the movie. czcams.com/video/alvkSrs-4tE/video.htmlsi=ktkM5BnklJ4Swaj_
I remember the opening credits with a hang glider circling Hong Kong and coming in to land at a police parade ground. Think the film was also intended to rival James Bond and that was a reason for hiring George Lazenby as the villain.
Thanks for the Jimmy Wang Yu memories, mate.
@@chrisamstel5081 also feature sammo hung who has been in countless martial arts films and was in. movies with Jackie chan Bruce Lee
This song was a masterful mix of rock, soul and disco into an incredibly POP hit. It's one of those songs that gets you out of the house and prancing down the street. What a great choice.
✌️😁❤️👍🎶🎶🎶
The drummer' name is Des Dyer - who also co-wrote the song. Fantastic singer!!
I always have to give props to drummer/kead singers! This was a fun song back in the day! ❤❤
Aw hell yeah! One of my favorite 70s songs, it's one great big hook! Reminds me of my childhood, thanks for playing it.❤ Drummers who sing, Phil Collins, Karen Carpenter, and Levon Helm spring to my mind.
Don Henley and Ringo Starr as well.
..and one of the dudes from 10CC
And Queen's Roger Taylor 😊
Grand Funk Railroad
And Kelly Keagy from Night Ranger.
Every time he hit that high note, the band reacted by bracing for it, guitars lifting up, etc. Really emphasized it.
I was in grade school and remember loving this song. Every time me and my friends would get in an argument I would say "You've blown it all sky high!" and then we'd laugh.
I know Amber loves a good horn section, so check out Ian Dury's "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" - the two sax solo is classic!
She should also check out Reason to Be Cheerful Pt 3(long version) by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Awesome saxophone solo. Jay would like the bass.
Further evidence the 70's are arguably the best decade for music. Midnight Special and Soul Train can not be replicated. The artist that showed up on Midnight Special were/iconic!
Popular music was about 100x better then.
I had a 45 of this song. You could buy a single song record back in 70's and 80's.❤ Good memories.
This was the 70s though
@theodoreritola7641 YES but you can get a 45 in the 70's AND the 80's as well. Fun fact.
Love it. A real hidden gem that doesn't get much airplay. Don't forget Phil Collins used to sing and play drums too during his concerts 😁
Haven't heard this song in 45 years - yet sounds so familiar - like I heard it yesterday.
Sky High" is a song by British band Jigsaw. It was released as a single in 1975 and was the main title theme to the film The Man from Hong Kong.
During the 70’s and 80’s, the singers had to be able to sing, and the players needed to play, there was no auto-tune. When the guys hit those high notes, they brought the house down.
This was also used on the movie track to The Man From Hong Kong.
*"What I like about you"* by _The Romantics_ has a Singing Drummer.
AWRIGHT!!! :) This was on my K-TEL ALBUM, TOO!! 🤣🤣🤣 LOVE IT! THANKS, YOU-GUYS!!
I had that K-Tel record too!
@@TheSquidgal LOVED that album!!! Woreit OUT!!! 🤣🤣🤣
K-TEL, now that is a flashback.
@@gbh0031 RIGHT!!!???
@@Jude_196 This song was on THREE K-tel albums: "Music Express", their Christmas 1975 album, "Block Buster" from early 1976, and the two-record set from Christmas 1976, "36 Super Gold Hits", along with their follow-up, "Love Fire" (which was also on K-tel's "Mind Bender"). I have all four, along with about 75 other K-tel albums from the 70s and 80s.
Love this one. Total nostalgia and transports me back to fun nights of mostly innocent misbehaving. Have you guys checked out any Bay City Rollers?
S. A. T. U .R. D. A. Y NIGHT! Bay City Rollers. rarely get reactions. Amber would love them.
The Rod Squad has reacted to the Bay City Rollers three times already. 'Ballroom Blitz', 'I Only Wanna Be With You' and 'Saturday Night'.
@@PD-bg2zj You're so right. I stand corrected. It came up in the search with the BCR's. I guess I got carried away!
yes. Bay City Rollers are a fun band
@@neptune9 Ballroom Blitz was The Sweet
Wow I'm 14 again at the Rollerdrome holding hands with Sandy. 😍
I was 9 when this song came out and have loved it ever since. Never get sick of hearing it!!
Totally agree 👍 I was 14 in 1975 . absolutely love it ..
I requested jay and Amber react to this one a few months ago .so I'm glad they did it 👍🎶
One of my favorites from 1975! Love how dramatic it is with its orchestrations. They had another hit with Brand New Love Affair but it didn’t come close to Sky High. Jigsaw members Clive Scott and Des Dyer also wrote a song that ultimately became a great hit for Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods called Who Do You Think You Are that you should check out!
This was such a blast from the past. Haven't thought about this song in such a long time. Thank you so much. Loved it back then and I still love it.
I have always loved this song. I put it in the Pleasant but Great category, along with such songs as Who Do You Think You Are by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods and Yellow River by Christie, etc.
I've only ever heard two reactors do Yellow River and thats a crime.
love yellow river by christie as well
Sweet - Love Is Like Oxygen
Walter Murphy - A Fifth of Beethoven
Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe
Babys - Isn’t It Time
Jeff Beck - Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers
Russ Ballard - The Fire Still Burns
Gino Vannelli - Black Cars
Yes! I 2nd a Babys reaction!!
Really loved this song as a kid.
Im so happy that you guys liked this song. A song i grew up with. I loved it then (1975), and i love it now. ❤
This was on the radio all the time back in '75
January 1976, living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I had an 8-track (yes an 8 track!) stereo and my favorite tape was a collection of pop hits from from 1975. This song was on it and I wore that tape out!!!
I remember this song but have not heard it for likely 40 years. Thanks for the memory. 😊
Oh man! This song came out in 1975. I was 8 years old! I haven't heard this song since then. Such a good song! As an adult now, I appreciate the musicianship in this even more than when I was little. It's really a pleasant sounding song. Great pick you guys! ❤
I was 15 and was in a orchestral phase and really appreciated the orchestras backing up these disco era bands.
The year I graduated from high school. Such a great iconic 70's song!
I liked this song as a kid. Have not heard it in 40 years or so, never saw the video before. They look like a bunch of hairstylists from some ladies salon. lol
Total one hit wonder band.
Their total other top 40 hit, "Love Fire", says hello.
Brings me back to my childhood such good times and music Love this poppy stuff.
Another one hit wonder from the 70s. Great song from my youth.
The shoes! Gosh, I loved platform shoes and bell bottom pants.
I Was 13 When This Song Came Out On The AM, Then FM Radio Stations In The San Francisco Bay Area Back In 1975, And It Was 1 Of My Favorites Back Then As A Young Teen, And I Still Love It Today, November 27, 2023, aka 47 Years Later . . . :-)
Speaking of drummer/lead singer, it's time to revisit the Band. Levon Helm is also a great songwriter. And how can you forget Robbie Robertson on guitar? Rag Mama Rag is a great song.
Thank you. I have always loved this song.
What a nice song, I liked how smooth and cool it was. The Romantics have a drummer that sings as well. "What I Like About You" and "Talking In Your Sleep" are great hits from them. I suggest the first one then second. Sky High is also a movie, well two of them.
70s fire tune. You wanted to start a party then you played this song. Hard rockers, soft rockers, disco listeners, it didn't matter. We all came together for this jam. 🎉❤😊
I had totally forgotten about this gem and haven't heard it for years but the instant the intro played I was transported back in time. Cool indeed!
Total 70s classic!
Another JIGSAW song is "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE " ❤
This song brings back a lot of memories. One of the great one hit wonders.
Your memory fails you because they are not a one-hit wonder. "Love Fire" also hit the top 40.
❤
This is a good one from the 70's, very upbeat and catchy and very 70's with Hair to match! A similar good one is 'My baby loves love' by White Plains' -Colin Ward
Minor technicality, it’s My Baby Loves Lovin’ but you’re 100% correct, it’s a cool catchy tune that I had forgotten about until you mentioned it. Good call!!👍🏼
Oh wow, I haven’t heard this in many many years. In was probably in 8 th grade or a freshman in high school. Damn I wish I could go back to that time. Brings back great memories. Thanks for playing it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Believe it or not, Karen Carpenter was also playing the drums while singing.
Sheila E too
Theyve got another song that I personally really enjoy called “who do you think you are”
Soooo love the 70's. It was such a blessing growing up listing to what I call the best music ever.
This came out when I was a teenager. Nothing like the 70s music magic. This was more on the poppier side of the 70s. These shows were a break thru for us. We could see out fav artist live on tv friday and saturday nights, our social media (you tube, tik tok, etc, lol). Such great memories, Thanx so much, be well, Peace
You know that drummer went to the hair salon before this performance.
And had the polyester pressed.
OMG have not heard this since the 70's. Flashing back to my Twenty's. Thank you
The seventies was the decade of my teens....what great music 😊
OMG I remember this as a pre-teen. It’s was such a fun track then and remains so to this day.
lmao 4:15 rob does the closed eyes dreamy hands parting the curtains moment complete with a little shimmy
YESSSSS YOU GUYS DID IT.
Jigsaw used to play at our local pub in the 70's, they used to finish their act with a version of Arthur Brown's, Fire.... which involved the Sax player doing a fire breathing stunt, he nearly set me on fire one night when the fuel he would throw on the ground came a bit to close, happy days.
A big hit in the US and top ten UK.
If memory serves it was featured as the theme song of a low budget martial arts movie called The Man from Hong Kong featuring a former James Bond actor George Lazenby
OMG!!! I had forgotten this song!!! Thank you for bringing this song back to me!!
I absolutely loved this song in the 70’s…and I still do. A remixed version was released by Newton in the 90’s, and it was a minor club hit.
One of my all time favorites. I bought my copy in Italy on vacation and it went to some ku-fu movie I think because the 45 cover was in Chinese. Super Awesome song✝️💜‼️ ok I just looked it up and The Song Skyhigh went to a movie called "The Man From Hong Kong" (also known as The Dragon Flies), and is a martial arts espionage film. 😁💜Absolutely Love this song.
A blast from the 70's vault, love it.
The next track you check out from them should be I've seen the film, I've read the book. Such an awesome song with Des' Falsetto
I've always loved this one, too! 🌤 Thanks so much, Jay & Amber.
Rare Earth…rock band with a singing drummer
I'm so glad you finally got to this song. It's one of my top 30 favorites along with Beach Baby, Hot Child in the City, Hey There Lonely Girl, Billy Don't Be A Hero, Run Joey Run, Which Way You Going Billy, Shannon, My Ding-A-Ling, Sugar Sugar, Tracy, Lay A Little Lovin On Me, My Baby Loves Love, Little Willy, and Heartbeat It's A Love Beat. I could go on but I'd be here all night. Love the channel. Love the reactions. Especially when you do 70's bubble gum.
Ahhhh... 1975, when pop, rock, and disco collide. The blend was very popular for a short time.
There’s a full orchestra throughout. The strings and horns are amazing. There’s def some mid-‘70s disco in the strings.
Glad you are getting to this one. I had the 45 of this as a 9 year old in 1975. Great one hit wonder of the 70s. If the drummer is singing, you know it's going to be good. Btw, Pop was a pop music program in West Germany from 1974-79. The name changed every year to reflect the current year, hence, this is Pop '75.
This song was one of the songs my marching band (30+ years ago) used for parades.
A fantastic song from 1975. As popular as it was, they were basically a one-hit wonder. The arrangement and production is stellar. The greatest drummer/singer though was Karen Carpenter. She was voted drummer of the year in 1975 by Rolling Stone magazine.
NO. She was voted Drummer of the Year by Playboy magazine, not Rolling Stone.
I absolutely loved this song when I was in my early teens.
I believe I first heard this on a K-tel record. It's an ok song for it's time
On my play list. One of the coolest songs from the 70's!
Brings me back to the 90s. Art Bell used this song a lot in his bumper music on Coast to Coast AM.
I used to dance to this song! Wow what a trip to hear this song again.
This is one of my favorite songs from the 70's
great band, loved 'If I Have To Go Away' too, the drummer was Dave Beech and the bass player was Barrie Bernard also the late Clive Scott was on keyboards. Bernard was a member of the band Pinkerton's Assorted Colours who had a Top 10 hit with Mirror, Mirror in early 1966, would recommend you give it a listen, thanks.
That's the first time I've heard that song in years. I remember when it came out in the 70s.
Love this. So 70s. One of my favourite song of all time.
I cannot believe you found this song!!! OMG...one of my favs from back in the good old days!!!
I am in the game room of Papa's Cafe in 1976. Jukebox is rocking. Thanks for the flashback
A mid 70's song that sounds timeless to me. It made me think of "Long Tall Glasses (I Can Dance)" by Leo Sayer where his voice sometimes also rises towards sky-high.
Okay, you guys made me smile!! I remember this song from back in the day. I haven't heard it in years. LOVED your reaction.
I am so glad you did this "One Hit Wonder". I love it and perform it too vocally.
Another singing drummer is Narada Michael Walden - I Shoulda Loved Ya (1979). Great bass and horns, too.
Where singing and drumming is concerned, it's not drumming while singing that is difficult, it's singing while drumming that is the issue. For most drummers the drumming part is second nature, so the fact that you are singing doesn't really affect you, but singing while you are drumming has various problems. Firstly, you are sat down, which removes a huge amount of breathe support. This is not too much of an issue if you are singing well within yourself and not holding any really long notes, but is restrictive either way. Secondly, the movement caused by the drumming and the impact of the sticks on the drums has to be controlled enough to not affect the voice. Imagine trying to hold a steady note while jogging, any large impact or jolt to the body will be heard in the note.
All that aside, I don't think I've heard this song for 40+ years, so it took me back a bit.
From the Kingdom of Nye, this is Art Bell on Coast to Coast...
Fantastic! I danced to this in nightclubs in Sydney Aust in the 70’s 💃🏿🕺🏿🥳
Wow, awesome song, great memories!
ANOTHER GROUP WHO HAD A DRUMMER AS THEIR LEAD VOCALIST WAS THE FOUR SEASONS...
THEY HAD TWO TOP 10 SONGS IN THE 70'S BOTH GREAT 1975 WHO LOVES YOU AND IN 1976 SILVER STAR BOTH SUPERB
I heard on the radio, just this Morning, that this band is called the english Jigsaw as There is also an Aussie band called Jigsaw!!
One of my favs from the 70s, there is also a dance remix , quite powerful at 1000 watts. Would always wait to here this and Fox On The Run from Sweet on the radio. Miss it and it would be back on soon, usually within a few hours.
Yes .That remix was done by NEWTON in the 90's and Lez Dyer from jigsaw (lead singer /drummer appeared in the video too 🎶
