Why am I crying? 😢 These memories of high school in the 70's are so sweet. I wish life had a rewind button.
Me too.
True!!
You KNOW it, MoosicandCritters!!!! (LOVE your name---I feel the same about Life: it's all about music and animals. Good Luck and Health and Happiness to you!!)
Trust me, you are not alone to feel as you do.
@@cynthialyman2636 Me three.
Kids today have the computer, internet, and smart phones. But we had all those cool bands!
There are more bands, playing better music, all for free on the internet these days. Back then was a time of passive listening... now you search online to find super music for free, actively - no gatekeepers.
Absolutely, we grew up in good times, no internet, no cell fones, we danced away
@michaelcarey9359 you obviously didn't grow up in the seventies. Because nothing is better nowadays...just crap music but the tech is there.
Definitely
Well, our mode of communication, back then.... breaker - breaker 1 9.
CB radio 📻...
Loved it as a 28 year old and love it now as a 72 year old man. Thanks for the post
yes I loved this tune in 1975 & loving it as much 2021...now 72 yo
63 here now lol
Another 63 y/0 who loves this song still got it on vinyl 😁🏌🎶🎶
I'm 68 . I feel you
Elf me too
Love this song when I was 12 and still love it at 60.
Same here. I was 9 in 1975 and remember this so very well. Love it the same in 2023 at age 57
I was 14 in 1975 .This really takes me back to my last few years in school . Nostalgia 😁👍🎶
Same here! I'm also 60.
I'm 60 too. We grew up with the best of music didn't we! 🤗💖
11 for me and still at 59
The sense of the 70s comes through clearly in its music. Whether it was disco, rock, soul or easy listening, the radio stations were full of great music.
"Sky high" war mein 1. Lieblingslied, da war ich 13 Jahre alt. Ich liebe es noch immer. Natürlich sind andere Lieder dazu gekommen.......
The 1970s AM and FM radio airwaves were a veritable cornucopia of musical styles and genres and some great bands and artists that refused to be pigeonholed.....
@MANUEL. Correct on the words great music, even if it was a one hit wonder like this song.
Thay Had everything back than....the Jocks were Good...also ..I Grew Up in L A California....Thay had the best Radio Stations Ever!!!...KHJ KRLA..
K100 and K-Earth That only was on top of the list!!!
@@robertmasina4610 I hey Robert JIGSAW WASNT A ONE HIT ORDER THEY HAD SOME GOOD MUSIC AND IT'S QUITE LATE HERE OR ID BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU SOME EXCAMPLS BUT YOU CAN LOOK UP for yourself.
I grew up in the 1960s and '70s.
Thank God.
George Vreeland Hill If your interested WOODSTOCK MUSICAL FESTIVAL is having 40 anniversy at Watkins Glen racetrack in August 2019. Sorry Watkins Glen is in New York about 3 hours from Buffalo, NY
Amen to that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And so say all of us.
Tell me about it please.
@21 12
That's nice.
"Rods"... have you heard of these creatures?
Art Bell Babbbbyyyy
This is how you do it, boys. Make subtle references and those that get it will get it. IYKYK.
I actually did a gig with these guys, I was the DJ at Bishop Grosseteste College in Lincoln in the early 80`s. They were superb, and Sky high is a phenomenal hit single. Another under rated British group, but at least they enjoyed a fair bit of success, they deserved so much more!!!
No matter how much of today's music I listen to, I always drift back to the music of the seventies.
Same here.
I had completely forgotten this song....I'm glad I came across it again.
Reminds me when I was 2 years old in 1975, yes I can remember that far back.
I can also, and further.
This is just a fun song. Always loved it.
im here for jojo :) , and now I love this band.
One of my favorites from the 70's. Best decade of music.
1975 unforgettable thanks
ME DA RISA ESA CAGADA DE QUE LOS PAPAS SON REPRESENTANTES DE DIOS EN LA TIERRA,¿QUE CLASE DE SER TODOPODEROSO ES ESE ? UN DIOS QUE NECESITA REPRESENTANTES PAPAS CARDENALES,SACERDOTES, MONJAS UN LIBRO QUE PRETENDE SER SANTO Y ADEMAS DE DINERO ES UNA FARSA .ESTOS VAGOS RELIGIOSOS TIENEN EL PEOR OFICIO DEL MUNDO ,PEOR QUE LAS PROSTITUTAS
Grew up in the 1970s loved this song on the radio who ever the artist singing this sounds just like Eric Carmen who had a smash hit with the raspberries called go all the way😊
Boy the 70's were somthing else !
Yep indeed 70s where great, I was a kid in the 70s, had the time of my life back then. Music and television was better back in the 70s. Wish I had a time machine and go back and relive it again.
They sure were, but the 80s were better
kwas101 ah good ole 80s, it was also great to. I was in highschool back then, also had the time of my life back then. 70s, 80s is better generation then todays, that much I can tell you.
I agree jason75
herb sload 60s 70s & early 80s the best in music
I just heard this song on the radio while in the car with my dad yesterday, I immediately had to Shazam it! It is so fun and catchy yet I don't know why it makes me want to cry too.. it just sounds so nostalgic and sweet
Good thing for Shazam! I love it!
How is it 1975 seems like yesterday!?😢 What an awesome time to be young, innocent, and our whole lives ahead of us!❤
To all those amazing days we thought would last forever!✌️
One of my all time favorite 70's songs. Bring me back to 1974 and summer vacations, playing outside until the street lights came on :-)
Ha ha ha! Yeah! those long summer days. The street lights telling you ya better get in, when the folks were more relaxed. BBQ's water fights and bedtime curfew was flexible... Play the songs on the radio from then, take me back.
Me too hon.
Same can be said for Beach Baby in ‘74…..another one-hit wonder but can go straight back to where I was that summer…..
“I overcame my own heart! I’ll never panic again...I’m going to reclaim my life, with my own hands! I’m Apollo 11!”
Rykiel, best JoJo
Oh crap, some *R o d* looking things are coming for my helicopter
Rykiel > Giorno
Change my mind.
ok cow
Happy for you boy
One of those special memory songs of the 70s.
One of the best one hit wonders ever. Sounded great in 1975 when I first heard it and it still sounds great in 2019. Love this damn song.
They had two top 40 songs in the U.S. and U.K. Sky High was #1 in Japan, and top 10 in the U.S. and U.K.
Great tune I was 13 in 1975 great times, gone forever. You young people just don't know what you missed !!!!!!
babylady2005 I was 15 and am SO glad to have grown up in the '60s and '70s. The music was so diverse and amazing -- truly the Golden Era of Pop.
It reminds of the day my best mate stood me up for a girl. On his way to the date he crashed his car, just as the car landed on it's roof in a field guess what was playing !!!
It always reminds me of that day.... We are still best mates to this day, but now with our own youngsters making all the same mistakes :-)
babylady2005 I’m 13 and music today is a waste of our time and space on Earth. I certainly know what I’m missing
Nate's videos Oh look, another "I was born in the wrong generation" prick
YES INDEED AMEN
I was a 70's kid and 70's music can never be replicated~
You've clearly never listened to Escort.
Thank God !
I also was a 70s kid, born in 1969. 70s where a differnt time then todays crap of a generation. People had differnt attdudes, people spoke differntly. If I had a time machine, I'd go back to the 70s. Had some great times.
jason75 hey not all of us are bad. I hate my crap generation too. I'm a millenial that is 25 that loves this kind of music. Don't let antifa give you a total bad rep on this generation. Because a few of us aren't that bad. Can't say for most. This is coming from a millenial.
Pablo Xicano SO AGREEEEEE!!!!
Screams 1975! Great song. Great times. Gotta get back to work on that time machine...
can you take me with you? xD
I got all kinda parts for some 70s machines. Let me know if any will help. Just gotta take me with.
Me three
Gen
me too please
Was 13 when this tune came out... For some reason, I always associate this song with this hot-looking high school aged chick named Debbie who lived across the street and then three or four doors down... I used to make it my business to come to the front window whenever she stepped outside - Particularly one memorable time in the summer with her in shorts, halter, and flip-flops, and this song was already cranked up on our house stereo!
music does that
I found this by accident .... The nostalgia and joy was immense.. Proper music!!! I was 15 when it was released, I feel sorry for teenagers in this generation, we had the best music!!!
Yes INDEED AMEN
yeah i found this on accident myself in 2019, and its so nice. i love this song the most
Me too.
I'm from this generation, and yes your music is the best!!!!!
A few years ago, I was strolling near Shinjuku Station on a hot summer night in Tokyo. There was some dude blaring this out near a kabob truck and another guy was eating a kabob, rocking to this tune. Insignificant I know, but it made an impression on me and I had to buy a kabob. Great song and a great kabob.
They say there's no such thing as time travel well when I listen to songs like this from the 1970's I'm instantly transported back to the 70's where songs like this were the soundtrack to my youth on the verge of becoming an adult as just 2 years after this hit came out I joined the Royal Marines
Yes! This period of music the 1970 s had so many good songs filling the top charts in the USA it will always be in my auric field as I am a baby boomer generation!
I hope the younger ones will get to appreciate this era!
Amen!
🙏🌠👍🌠
Wow, this takes me back so many years. I remember when this was released and my sister and I ran out and looked for glass soda bottles to get deposit money for so that we could by the 45 of it. We then went to the grocery store and cashed in our bottles and ran to the record section of the grocery store (Yes, grocers had record/music sections then) and we got the last 45 copy that they had of it for that week. Then we ran home the six blocks and played this song probably ten times. LOL
Gathering and cashing in glass soda bottles is how we got the money for anything that we wanted that was within reason for cost. Records, candy bars, sodas, ice cream and so many other things. We were recycling before the whole green Earth movement started. In fact, we were recycling more than people are these days. But we worked for our money and weren't ever going to our mother and asking for a handout so that we could get whatever it was we wanted. Those were awesome times and the world was a much simpler place back then with awesome music like this. I sure miss those times. My sister passed away in 2013 suddenly of complications of a chronic disease and I miss her terribly. These old songs make me think of her and how we had so much fun dancing to the music and just enjoying how upbeat and fun the music was. Good times.
+Al Scarbrough
So sorry for the loss of your sister. May she rest in peace. Gathering and cashing in glass soda bottles for spending money? Yes, we also did that. I was 10 in 1965. This was the quickest way for us to get some easy money. Another thing that we did was to scrounge for old newspapers and magazines and then take them to the local scrap yard for pocket change. Lawn cutting and snow shoveling were also popular revenue raising methods. Back in those simpler times, money was tight, so you didn't dare ask mom or dad for any. How things have certainly changed over the years.
Thank you for reminding me of some of the things we used to do back in the "good old days" as kids!
i did the same thing i was so despret for alochol
By 1975, all the soda bottles we could buy in the suburbs of Boston were glass, but non-returnable. But I remember the ones from the 1960s that were actually washed out and re-used; it sounds gross now, but it worked. MA has a 5 cent deposit now, but they are just recycled. Sorry to hear about your sister, it's hard to appreciate that kind of loss until it actually happens.
Good times.
God bless you and your sister, Al. I am sure she is looking down at you with pride. My sister is still with me and we remember those great times from the 70's.
One of my favorites from the 70's. Best decade of music.
Jose Pintado That's an opinion
@@unironicanimeprofilepictur8499 each decade, up thru the 2000's, i guess, might be the best... but certainly not the 2010's!
This 1 is definitely a favourite of mine can't beat the oldies better than today's music
High School memories from 1976. Yes, it came out in 75 but I associate it with my freshman year.
? okay ?
That's my thoughts on it exactly. 1976-1980 my high school years. What a simple, kind and great time to be growing up in America.☺
Song associations are so strong, yet they don't have to be completely accurate ....... they just *are*
Back in the day hit songs would stay in rotation for a year or two. They weren't instantly disposable like the music of today.
@Dr. Awkward. So true about today's garbage. Some stations in those days had other ways of playing hits for a longer time. A station in my city had the "Million Dollar Weekend", where every other song played (on Saturday and Sunday) was one that had sold a million copies. So you might hear a hit song from the year before that wasn't still on the charts.
driving in my1966 mustang listening to this.wow! brings back great memories,a great time life was so much fun and a lot simpler.wtf happen to our country
@Reddog: We got older, life got complicated...and expensive. A 66 Mustang in nice shape would cost big bucks today!
That's exactly what your parents' generation was thinking during the British Invasion.
Our generation (post-1950s) rejected the morals of our parents' generation, even though we were imbued with them. And we made sure not to indoctrinate our children with them. The problem was that we didn't imbue our children with ANY morals--to them there was no right vs wrong. To them life's philosophy was: anything goes. And you know something, the kids were right: anything went, along with everything. Today's generation lives in a world where there are no standards, principles, dictates, or morals. Looking back, I now realize that our parents' generation wasn't so bad after all. I truly miss those years.
Charles C No, it's the same thing over and over. Nothing is changing from generation to generation, just the time and perspective.

I was 10 years old in 1975. Remember those K-tel records that condensed all the current hits to 2 minutes so they could fit 20 tracks on one vinyl LP? Every song on "Music Express" .is etched upon my memory. Another favorite on that disc was "Jackie Blue", also sung in male falsetto by the drummer! Almost every hit back then had string sections. It was the height of disco fever. That's what makes it sound so cheesy now but the songs themselves were remarkably strong harmonically and melodically.
S
saintquinn007 I think I should go dig out that pile of K-tel LP's. I do remember the songs seemed shorter but not sure of them being sung by anyone but original artist. I'll have to get back with you in a day or so to let you know for sure.
saintquinn007
I have never heard about DJ's playing the records faster than 45 rpm. The singles back then were already so short and that would result in a key change (higher). If you watch syndicated "Law and Order" episodes, you'll notice that the opening and closing sequences are sped up to the max so they can fit in one more 30 sec ad.
saintquinn007
Yep, I grew up when AM was king. That will confirm my relic status. ugh!
I was 20 in '75........luved em all man......miss those days.
A song that just sends my spirit sky high. Love it, love it, love it!
This song made me set myself on fire.
Why?
@@coconutshrimp6764 its a reference to a well-known Japanese series called “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” thats a story about this long family lineage called the Joestars
Its been in publication for a few decades. The author is a huge fan of a lot of Western Music (Rock, POP, Rap, etc), and names a bunch of Characters and Supernatural Abilities in the series after these musicians, their albums, songs, etc. a lot of younger people credit the series with having exposed them to this older music, and it’s very common to see people jokingly referencing it in a wide variety of music videos like this.
For example, there’s a character who has a power called “Killer Queen.” It is very common to see people in the comments of Queen videos making jokes like “this makes me want to cut somebody’s hand off,” “Killer Queen has already touched that doorknob,” or something about “just wanting to live a Quiet Life” because these are all references to that character
the “setting yourself on fire” thing is a reference to how the main character of Part 6 overcomes the antagonist with the ability “Sky High” specifically named after this Jigsaw song.
Them saying it makes them want to set themself on fire is ironically complimenting it
From the whirling strings at the beginning to the french horns bellowing at the end, and everything in between being brilliant, this is why I remain grateful for being born in a time when music was music! Thanks.
+Old Dominion Viking Swab Me too! Happy New Year, fellow 70s buff.
+Old Dominion Viking Swab l know, right? l played these tunes on sub-standard turntables with scratchy speakers, so at least the delivery via the new gadgets updates that, but really, you can't improve on the genius behind the original artists. Just my opinion, but l am grateful to have grown up with this music, even if it, and myself, are considered to be golden oldies now. Good hearing from a fellow afficianado
You said it!!!👍👍
Yes!!! 💯 🎻🥁🎺
@@MoosicandCritters l just heard this in the grocery store early yesterday morning; it sounds just as good as it ever did. 🎶😁
I was in Alaska in 1975, I was 5 years old and I remember my older brothers playing this song... love this song and brings back many young memories!! For some reason I think of fireworks on the 4th of July when I think of this song... Haha...
I was 8,
I was also five years old that year too when this song came out. Not only that,I've also heard it in a movie namely The Dragon Flies aka The Man From Hong Kong.
I was 6 in 1975, Im a year older then you. I used to steal my mom stash of weed and smoked it while listening to this song, with big head phones falling asleep. ah what good memories.
Sara Rudd Your in the wrong generation son, Ya I had the time of my life back in the 70s and 80s, 70s 80s is better then todays generation that much I can tell you, music and television was better back then. Today everything sucks. This is coming from experience.
Sara Rudd Oh your a chick, oops I called you son
Jigsaw - Sky High Lyrics:
Blown round by the wind
Thrown down in a spin
I gave you love
I thought that we had made it to the top
I gave you all I had to give
Why did it have to stop?
You've blown it all sky high
By telling me a lie
Without a reason why
You've blown it all sky high
You, you've blown it all sky high
Our love had wings to fly
We could have touched the sky
You've blown it all sky high
Up, round, I've flown
Then down, down like a stone
I gave you love
I thought that we had made it to the top
I gave you all I had to give
Why did it have to stop?
You've blown it all sky high
By telling me a lie
Without a reason why
You've blown it all sky high
You, you've blown it all sky high
Our love had wings to fly
We could have touched the sky
You've blown it all sky high
You, you've blown it all sky high
By telling me a lie
Without a reason why
You've blown it all sky high
This song is addictive! 😯
Such a great song. I cant imagine one of these phonies that call themselves a musician nowadays writing music like they did in the 70's ...or the 80's
but nobody can write like that anymore, not even the old musicians from the 70's or the 80's
These phonies we got today are rap/hip, grunge and progressive rock bands. They need to take lessons from such great artists from the 60's, 70's and 80's.
Not only that, what about the arrangements? The brass in this is fantastic. Where would you find that today?
The music composition is amazing alone indeed.
MrTrashcan1 in a place that sells brass? I don't really know. Sorry
I remember this one, I was in the fifth grade and my friend broke his promise not to get in trouble with the teacher, and me and his older brother kept telling him he'd blown it all sky high!! LOL!!! Memories!!
lol
Lol
Love how music can immediately transport you to a time and place. First time I heard this was in the back seat of a VW bug with my older brother and his friends driving to Wayne County Georgia to see their HS team play in the state quarter finals.
tbh this song makes me feel like apollo
I graduated High School in 1975 from Marlow High School and 'Sky High' was one of the 'BEST' songs I enjoyed listening to then, and even now it brings back memories of a time I'll never see again nor forget. But, I am so glad that we can preserve this music for future generations to listen and enjoy. It was an era of 'WONDER' for me!!!
well said.
i graduated the fourth grade in '75, haha, and 5th grade was about as good as it would get, school-wise, little did i know, haha
My Mom brought me here, I love 70's music
One of my favorites
99X, WXLO Radio on 98.7 was practically religion for the kids in the NY area in the mid 70s. My folks would make me go to bed and, without their knowing, I'd plug and ear plug (pre-walkman) into my ear and listen to songs like this one on that radio station on my Panasonic radio/cassette player. Those late night sessions in bed were a window to the world for a 12 year old boy with a painfully early curfew. Not once did they catch me. I'd have been in trouble had they done so. But it's what kept their first ever teenage boy sane in a difficult time. Thanks for the memory of one of those old time hits.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....I LOVED the 1970s - such a great decade and the BEST Music ever!!
+Brian Thoman You got that right, my friend!
+spiderdragon1969 Yep 70s is a differnt generation then today. 70s is a better generation then todays crap of a generation. People spoke differntly, people had differnt attitdudes. Everything was better back then, such as, music, televison, movies. I had a time of my life back then. Wish I had a time machine and go back and relive it again.
Me too, especially 1972. Here's the list for that year, it's Solid Gold stuff:

+jason75 Word!
TheKatanarama- WowKat, you cast a really dark shadow with your comment.
Have anything meaningful or intelligent to really say?
Well I was only 6 in 1975 but I do remember those great songs. My older brother and sisters were always bringing the albums and 45's and 8 track tapes. I still have some of those K-tel albums.
Stupendous production, truly a classic...
One I haven't heard for some time wears well great piece.
Yes it is. Beautiful song. Gold!!!
Great song from 1975, I'd just finished 13 long months on Okinawa, in the Marine Corps. I will never forget September 1975, finally back in the World. Even Camp LeJeune, NC looked great.
what a voice ! what a great band !
sandra clift coventry boys
This almost could pass for a James Bond theme (Roger Moore era, of course).
Agree Alan,
It was used as the theme for the film "The Man from Hong Kong" starring James Bond actor George Lazenby.
agree in a big way
Yes, saw it at the cinema at the time and it was really good.
GOLLLLLLLLLDFINGAH!
I saw jigsaw in our local night club about 35 years ago and they sung this and I’ve loved it ever since.
Great song from 1975.
One of 70s best
I have this in my 9 track collection. I play it driving round in my '74 Gran Torino all the time!! people see me and hear the music and either love it or think I'm weird... :)
I play my 4 Jigsaw CDs in my car all the time - yep windows down, as loud as possible. Guess I'm the only person in this county who even knows who Jigsaw, Des Dyer and "Sky High" is and a recent trip to an independent vinyl shop proved it. Oh well.....
PixieFreya Keep the faith! Old becomes new again eventually. It's those of us that think for our selves that are remembered for our uniqueness. Everyone I meet from my old school remembers me because 'you were different' ; a badge I carry proudly! BTW, if you're ever in Seattle, message me; I'll take you for a spin in my 'Time Machine'; my TV show correct Starsky & Hutch Gran Torino with working 8 track... ;)
Don't you mean 8 track
Just picked up a 78 Pinto Ralley like I had in HS. Doing the same thing and getting a lot of nods and high 5s. Our generation gets it :) What is surprising is my 19 year old Daughter loves the car and the music too.
AHHHH Disco, Sweet Memories!
You gotta love the 70’s ❤️
Yes, the music of the 70s managed to improve on or at least equal the music of the 60s.
Yes, the music of the 70s managed to improve on or at least equal the music of the 60s.
How freakin awesome to this day!!! I was 13 ran to the music store n played it over n over again!!! Stilll!!! Lolllll...no music is like this today!!!!
Diane Alfieri well said Diane, I take it you grew up in the 70s ?
as I did and I think we had the best music Era going
Fab timesfab weather and a great time to be a kid in the 70s
That's because they've blown it all sky high.
haha i chuckled imagining you running to the music store to listen inside the store. i used to do the same thing and felt like breaking the law for listening for UNLIMITED FREE MUSIC, until the shop closed.
I used to listen to this song on the radio in 1975-I was 7. It was the same year the zoo brought a mountain lion to my classroom and I got to pet it.
Come on everybody take a deep breath and scream out that top note - "You've blown it all sky hiiiiiiiiigh......
I'm standing on the chair ... I still can't reach it.
Keith Jones LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!
This song simply screams '70's. It has a sound I've not heard before or since that time. Get a special feeling every time I play it. I was in the 8th grade then. So long ago.
vxy357 LOL!! That's the way :))
Lorraine Ashby You again, gees we got to stop meeting up like this. And no Im not stalking you, we just great taste in music.
always makes me think of heat stealing sky fish controlled by a troubled cow child.
Me too. How odd
Great minds.....you know the rest :)
Like mu, man...
With a neck brace clothing item. Coincidence?
i know i late for the comment but
is this a jojo reference?
love this song,who,s here in 2019.
Am with you in 2019 still love this track. What I would class as a good driving song.
just started a new job when this charted - good times, this song always takes me back.
your mom on her knees
i am
Me too from France
This is one of the first songs I remember hearing as a child. This song has a special place in my heart. Always will....
This is just a fun song. Always loved it.
Great song.And I also loved your brother in a Father Ted.😆
+Bernadette OHanlon YUP ! Same here ! :)
+Daniel P Hanover love this British pop song! first heard it when I was listening to a cool radio talk show called coast to coast am! I clearly remember that the guest that night was conspiracy author "David icke" ! sometimes when I hear this classic, I visualize 'David icke"singing it instead of "jigsaw!
fabulous
Not if someone you loved betrayed you...at least not at 17 yrs. old......the innocence of first love.
You know as soon as you hear this first part of the instrumental you know what song is coming on it's a real classic
im here for jojo :) , and now I love this band.
You're not the only one.
WHY ARE MY EYELIDS CLOSING??!?!?!?
i came here cause a video in assetto corsa showing this song and an airplane flying
I'M APOLLO 11 !
Your pfp is perfect
Today I found a piece of my memory and it indeed brought many more memories. Back in the seventies I was driving in the highways of Chicago on my way to Minnesota and I heard this song. At the time I did not like the song and even as recent as 10 years ago i did not like the song. But as i thought about the song further I got to like it. The problem was that i could only remember one word of the song. Soon I even forgot that. I tried and tried to find the song but could not. Finally today I found out. The name of the song is SKY HIGH by Jigsaw
Remember hearing this in the morning on the radio. My mother always had the radio on while we were eating breakfast before school. Songs like this and from the Carpenters were always playing. Hard to forget songs like this when you've listend to them for years every day.
Yes My MOTHER too
July, 1969. Armstrong from Apollo 11 became the first man to stand on the Moon... Until now, I didn't know what was so special about that. Because in reality, the rockets are really flown by scientists and engineers, right? Any monkey could go to the moon.
But when I first saw those 'rods'... I finally understood why it was so important... What truly stood on the moon that day was the human *'spirit'!* That day, we humans conquered the Moon, and our spirit *'evolved'!* _The thing that's truly valuable is the_ *_'evolution of our spirit!'_*
*I AM THE VICTOR!! NOT YOU!* I overcame my own heart! I'll never panic again... I'm going to reclaim my life, with my own hands! *_I'M APOLLO 11!!!_*
Makes me think of happy times around my sister and her old man playing cards and him and I drinking some kind of mint drink that contained alcohol, I was around sixteen. They both passed on as young people, never had kids.Peace and Love to U both. Cool song!
One of my fave songs EVER.
Happy and meaningful music by superbly talented artists back in the 50s, 60s,70s and the 80s. Glad I experienced this and could experience the aforementioned, time and time, again, with my time machine, the internet.
This song and Jackie Blue - both awesome 1 hit wonders of ‘75 !
The band that did "Jackie Blue", The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, was actually a 2-hit wonder. Their other hit was "If You Wanna Get To Heaven (You've Got To Raise A Little Hell)", which came out before "Jackie Blue."
Also, the two songwriters in Jigsaw who wrote “Sky high” also wrote the o Donaldson and the Haywood’s hit “Who do you think you are” so technically they are not one hit wonders.
70s had the best era of hit music and radio stations
I heard SkyHigh every day in Germany, when it first came out. It played constantly on Radio Luxembourg. It was a big hit in its day, and I always liked it. Sehr Gut.
LOL the 70's great music, out of this world hair and crazy fashion!
From the motion picture " the man from hongkong , with george lazenby 001 ;)
I haven't heard this in years. Still a great song. I still remember laying in the backyard listening to this on WLS Chicago am on my bright red ball shaped transistor radio.
I was born to enjoy growing up in the 70's and 80's, with all this kind of music. But now every time I hear this song, I think of Coast to Coast AM, yes - thanks to Art Bell.
Wish they'd play this more on the radio. Or on the radio period. Seventies music is the greatest!! I actually did hear this on 100.9 FM a few days ago!
Always and often played on my internet radio station. Try it. www.kvkvi.com
i like how creative of the old songs in the year of 1970 - 1999. Best songs EVER!! Better than these days.
1975, reminds me traveling from Charleston WV to Camp LeJeune NC. Great times I truly miss. No bills no wories. Semper Fi.
I was at Camp Lejuene with 3/6 back in 1980-82 and then again in 1986. Loved West Virginia,and South Carolina Myrtle Beach as well. Good memories when I hear the music of those days. All the fellow marines I served with. same with Okinawa where I spent 2 years.1979-80
Tony Cevallos wow 2 yrs on Okinawa. 13 months was enough for me. We were always wet and sweating, even in January. I'd love to go back and be 19 again. Semper Fi Marine...out here.
Semper Fi Chuck. Where in Oki were you? I was a grunt up at Camp Schwab and youre not kidding about the heat and humidity. But if I were 19-20 i'd do it all again.
+Tony Cevallos, most of my time was at Camp Zukrain/Foster. I was TAD 1/9 for a while. Helped load out the USS Blue Ridge late March 1975, when it left for the Evacuation of Saigon. Yes I would do it again. Semper Fi, Marine.
I remember this from High school...loved it!
A time long past, it could never happen again, if you were a teenager through this time, consider yourself one of the luckiest people, it's songs like this that help keep the memories alive.
Our family was stationed at Biggs Army Air Field, an adjunct of Fort Bliss, Texas, in 1975. I remember this song. I had good times there and this song reminds me of those days.
Such a wonderful 70's song!
WOW! still sounds good all these years later!
Teenagers in 1975 the best years of our lives...
I forgot all about this song until You Tube came along.. I don't think I've ever heard it since it was a hit on the radio. My God how the memories of being 20 years old again flooded my brain! Where I was, the friends I had.. This is one of those songs that really captures the feel and vibe of the mid 70's era to a T. It's weird, I don't want to listen to it to often, I don't want that special nastagia feeling I get from it to go away.
Oh My God! such a great song from a great time in my life. I was 17 years old and me and my friends had a club house right near the the right of way of the long island Railroad. and had a big ass boom box radio and listened to this. God bless those guys if they are still out there. i still live about 6 blocks from that very spot. Woodhaven Bvd and Austin Street in Middle village Queens.
I was just a kid through the 70's. Thankfuly I had older brother and sisters that played these great songs.
Me too!
I don't think music today have heart like the ones we grew up with. I say our parents said the same thing about our music too. It is funny how gerations have changed.
Love it. Just love it. Good times growing up.
A fabulous feel good song.
I'm glad I lived through these times unlike the dribble of today.
This song rocks!!
Mike Sheng yes it does in the movie " THE MAN FROM HONG KONG starring Jimmy Wang Yu and George James Bond Lazenby shot in Australia 1975
No wonder it topped the Japanese charts...it sounds like the OP to a giant-robot anime from that era
This was used as the theme song to the Australian/Hong Kong action film 'The Man From Hong Kong', a very cheesy kung fu crime D movie from the 70's.
It sound like a guy dressed like a cow that can control flying rods
Zomber WonderClan mooda

*Why are my eyelids closing?*
Its also a theme song entrance for a Mexican pro wrestler legend that wrestled in Japan alot named mil mascras
Rediscovered this song the other day and was taken back almost 25 years. We had an Atari in the basement and my dad and I would often times be down there playing games while listening to music. I was hanging the phone up with him a minute ago and said oh yeah I stumbled across a song yesterday that reminds me of you. He just texted me, this is going through his head now! 😁 how can you be anything but happy as can be while singing an awesome tune!
I want a copy of that album. I don't have a record player but my name is Chelsea and I love the colors. For my wall!!
Great memories. When this was a hit I was United States Marine stationed at Camp LeJeune NC and so in love with a local young girl.....Teri H.
From Great Britain 1975 Golden!
I didn't know that Jigsaw were British.
Wow I just love this song
Pamela hill I know right!!!!!!...be good Hun!!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🐘🐼🐬🐅🐕🐻🐳🐖🐄
A great favorite of mine. So glad to hear it again.
I was 15 when this came out. Miss the 70's.
A song so fire it steals your body heat.
