Same here. Born 1962 and lived the life in the 70's. Some 80's songs were great but hated the punk rock and rap music. 1960's and 70's music cannot be beat. Disco, motown, Northern soul etc will live on for ever.

It was part of a movie "The man from Hong Kong" filmed in Australia and jointly produced in Hong Kong and Australia in around 1975. Notably one of the actors was George Lazenby who was previously a James Bond actor.
Summer of 1975. I was 14. The best days of my life. Songs like this are the soundtrack to an era that shall never come again. Someone please build a time machine.
@@timvest8141 I never went to any of my high school reunions. As much as I miss being 14, I do not miss high school or any of the people that attended mine.
I was about 12 years old when this came out and I heard it frequently being played on the radio. Something I've never really forgotten from my childhood days. Great song.
This tune is quintessential '70's pop. This hit was playing non-stop on AM and some FM stations. Definitely a song to be included on one of those "K-Tel" greatest hits albums.
I just can't believe I missed this one from the 70's. I was 18 when this came out. It is such a great song, and epitomized the 1970's. Such a "Great Song" from a "Great Era" in Time. Thank God I was a Teenager back in the 1970's. A time of Great Music, and Great TV.
One of the amazing aspects of this song is the arrangement. Whoever did this is a musical genius. From the start, with the swirling strings, the punctuating xylophone, and then the brass, and especially at the end with the fluglehorns, which give the final dramatic crescendo while Des hits his "Hiiiiiiiiii..." It's just astounding stuff all around. [I've since found out that the arranger is Richard Hewson, whose work I know from the Bee Gees, the Beatles "The Long and Winding Road," and many, many other artists. So no wonder it's such a brilliant arrangement. Kudos to producer Chas Peate, as well.]
I was born in 69 so all these songs were always playing in the background. When I hear them now I get this weird nostalgic feeling that I can’t put my finger on. All good vibes. 80s songs opens up a whole different vault. God I hope I never forget. Good times.
DOB, 3rd Jan 68 so we're there or thereabouts. Many of the 70s tracks were the backing music for my upbringing. Many are very familiar, this one resonates massively for some reason. Something like, Bachman Turner Overdrive always will too👍👍👍
The 70's was the absolute best decade to grow up in! The songs, the times, the memories were the very best one could hope for. Life was beautiful and fun with strong families values and respect for one another. It's a shame it has all changed!
I would say the 80's were the best decade to grow up in (I was born 1961) but I'll admit the 70's were pretty cool too and I would add the 90's; the world has simply become too polarized, too violent, too technology-driven, too complicated, too polluted and too increasingly dark and dystopian after 2000.

Re-discovered this song from XM Radio (70s) in 2018. I can't recall it ever being played on the air elsewhere for decades. It's like a lost treasure! Thanks for uploading.
Funny you should mention not ever hearing it played for decades thenightsky.org/skyhigh.html And no, I don't believe the link that I shared. Just a funny coincidence, I remember this story about the song from Art Bell.
just married....changing jobs, moving up the ladder....never knew the name of this band but heard this song a thousand times driving to work. love it !!!
I hear that, like a US version of my UK childhood, switch Raleigh for Schwinn, Switch Hot wheels for Matchbox (or Mattel), Vietnam dominated global news , but the IRA to keep us on our toes too....
They played this song at my junior high school dance in 1975. I always loved it, so exciting and dramatic with the strings and horns and tape echo. Outstanding. I still love it 48 years later.
I love the clarity of his voice. So happy to have grown up in the seventies and eighties. So many incredible songs by truly talented people with wonderful ways of sharing their thoughts.

I was ten. October-November 1975. My older brother says this song was on the local radio station when they interrupted with the Edmund Fitzgerald news.
In 1975/76 we had no electricity in our house as my Mum couldn't afford the bill. We lived by candlelight at night and listened to an old radio with no back on to hear Radio Luxembourg with the Emperor Roscoe. He used to play this quite a lot, along with ABBA's Dancing Queen, R n J Stones We Do It, and El Doomo by Steve Ellis. The best times were in the summer as we had light nights and stayed out late playing football and scrumping apples and pears from nearby gardens. Some people thought this song was by John Miles. Great band, still gigging apparently. Good on 'em.
July 2024 . I still remember this song , what a wonderful times I enjoyed my teen age . born in 1961 . Still tears on my eyes to remember what a wonderful youth I had
What I love about the music that I grew up with is that as soon as I hear a song from those days my mind immediately goes back in time to a specific memory of where I was and what I was doing when I heard the song back in those days. It's an instant time travel. I then have to stop what I'm doing and enjoy the memory of exactly what was going on at the moment.
So surreal. Never saw this video. Growing up hearing this song as an elementary school kid. Hard to believe it's been more than 4 decades. Thanks to you whom uploaded this treasured memory of yesteryear. 😀
You sound like me. It's funny listening to these songs for decades, then seeing the vintage video recorded "back in the day." UA-cam sure makes it easily accessible & available.
What I found most surreal is that the lead singer is not a black chick. When I first heard this song via Art Bell's radio show, I took that as a given.
I know. I remember going to a girls birthday party in elementary school and this was playing. Funny how certain memories stick with us. It was a great time to be alive. I so miss those days but the memories sustain me now. .
In Japan, Jigsaw's Sky High is very popular. This song was adopted by NTV as an admission song for professional wrestler Mil Máscaras. It is a masterpiece that has established the entrance song for professional wrestlers. It is also the main theme song of the bird-human contest with amateur participation held by NTV every year. This song is perfect for Mil Máscaras' aerial skills and human-powered airplanes.
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!!!_*
We had one phone that was mounted on the wall. You had to call the phone company if you wanted to move it or get it fixed. Now I’m watching this video on my phone. Yeah, simpler and better-easier too, except for all the cigarettes.
I go to pieces whenever I hear this song i was only11 in 1975 this makes me feel young again. i miss those great songs from the amazing 70's....😪✌👍.....
I was a 16 year old cruising town & hanging out with friends. all my siblings were living!! I wish we could go back in time.. Better music from a time it was fun!!
I say that also. Lots of people were still living, we had good times, good music that brings it all back to us in the first 30 seconds of listening. Now, we'll, not the same but, we'll have to make do!! I never dreamed I'd be 62!! Oy vey!

I turned 1 when this was popular so my memory is hazy. But I could see my parents listening to this in my Dad's Cutlass Cruiser wagon.
This is my brother in law Dez, who’s the drummer/singer!
So very proud, and still has an amazing voice.
Love Jo. 🥰
This is an awesome song. I keep coming back to play it. Great to hear Dez is still going strong. 👍🏻

Phil Collins also did both. Roger Taylor (Queen) performed some lead, but mainly backing vocals for Queen. His voice was key to Queen's harmonies.

One of the greatest pop songs ever. I still love it! The melody is strong, the arrangement is top shelf --- the vocals are incredible.

You can say that again. Bravo Bravo
One of the amazing aspects of this song is the arrangement. Whoever did this is a musical genius. From the start, with the swirling strings, the punctuating xylophone, and then the brass, and especially at the end with the fluglehorns, which give the final dramatic crescendo while Des hits his "Hiiiiiiiiii..."

A great one hit wonder of the 1970s. The fact that the singer can sing and play drums takes talent.
This band could have been big if they got rid of the rest of the band.
Exactly!😊
Oooo .... a classic .
In all seriousness, the drummer had it all but the others are so out of place.
Too bad no one tapped into the drummer's talent and hired him for their band. He must have had a horrible manager
this dude on the drums, he is great....sing with no problem while playing the drums like that....just really impressive

Listening to these classic oldies is what's keeping us young.
子供の頃、聴いた記憶があります。兄の影響で、聴く様になりました。透き通った歌声が心地よいです。何回、聴いても飽きないです。若い人で、この曲を聴いている人いるのかな？
Nothing better than seeing a singing drummer!

9YRS OLD IN 75, AND ALWAYS LOVED THIS TUNE. SUPER 70'S FOREVER. MAN WHAT A GREAT ERA TO GROW UP AS A KID!!!.
SickAgain75 Iwas exactly the same age as you in 75, and I would give ANYTHING to go back to that decade!!
GREAT TIME TO BE A KID GROWING UP DURING THIS ERA. AS SOON AS I GET MY HANDS ON A TIME MACHINE, I'LL SAVE A SEAT FOR YOU. ALL GENERATION XER'S ARE WELCOMED. IN THE MEANTIME, ROCK ON C SHEETS!!!!.
SickAgain75 Thanks, and you keep rocking on as well. That time machine can't come soon enough for us!!
I was ten. October-November 1975. My older brother says this song was on the local radio station when they interrupted with the Edmund Fitzgerald news.
TRUTH
In 1975/76 we had no electricity in our house as my Mum couldn't afford the bill.
We lived by candlelight at night and listened to an old radio with no back on to hear Radio Luxembourg with the Emperor Roscoe.
He used to play this quite a lot, along with ABBA's Dancing Queen, R n J Stones We Do It, and El Doomo by Steve Ellis.
The best times were in the summer as we had light nights and stayed out late playing football and scrumping apples and pears from nearby gardens.
Some people thought this song was by John Miles.
Great band, still gigging apparently.
Good on 'em.
Thanks for NOT going into any self pleasure stories! The world commends you!
Brilliant comment ☺
What a beautiful and carefree time with Songs like this masterpiece in the golden 70's❤ I was a Teenager in this time, never forget it.
Me too, a great time to be young ... much better than today, i think.
Brilliant. Those were the days. Come back please.
being a drummer is hard enough, but singing and drumming at the same time is insane.
Moulty was another drummer who sang at the same time
I im such a drummer ! singing and drumming !
Mickey Dolenz ;)
Ever seen karen carpenter? She made it look easy too although i m sure its not
Peter Criss, Phil Collins, Karen Carpenter among others.
This song truly represents the 70's ! That rhythm the groove and the power !
July 2024 . I still remember this song , what a wonderful times I enjoyed my teen age . born in 1961 . Still tears on my eyes to remember what a wonderful youth I had
What I love about the music that I grew up with is that as soon as I hear a song from those days my mind immediately goes back in time to a specific memory of where I was and what I was doing when I heard the song back in those days. It's an instant time travel. I then have to stop what I'm doing and enjoy the memory of exactly what was going on at the moment.
Same here 😁🎵
So surreal. Never saw this video. Growing up hearing this song as an elementary school kid. Hard to believe it's been more than 4 decades. Thanks to you whom uploaded this treasured memory of yesteryear. 😀
Love that song
You sound like me. It's funny listening to these songs for decades, then seeing the vintage video recorded "back in the day." UA-cam sure makes it easily accessible & available.
What I found most surreal is that the lead singer is not a black chick. When I first heard this song via Art Bell's radio show, I took that as a given.
James - times flies but doesn't it seem just like it was yesterday?
I know. I remember going to a girls birthday party in elementary school and this was playing. Funny how certain memories stick with us. It was a great time to be alive. I so miss those days but the memories sustain me now. .
Oh bring back so much memories in early 70 era of wonderful music ...so magical !!
It's been 45 years since I've heard this. Had this on one of those K-tel compilation albums. Complete masterpiece
Perfect pop from the 70s. Here it is in all its glory. Still sounds amazing and fresh. Clean. Simple.
GREAT DAYS.
I already knew this back from reading the Jojo Stone Ocean manga a few years ago, but thank you Araki for again introducing me to incredible music
Would love to go back to these days not just the music but to have my dad back. Good old days.
Sorry about your dad, Stuart. I also wish that loved ones missed could be returned for even a day but until then heaven awaits. Best of luck, James
Right with you on that one! Here's to missing our dads!
Grief and coping with the loss of a loved one must be one of life most challenging events. God bless you and your family.
当時のマスカラスファンとして
素晴らしい曲だと改めて感じました
ところで海外からと日本人とのメッセージって
表現の仕方が全然違ってますね
文化の違いや感じ方を個人レベルで言葉で細かく表現してるのを
直接観れるのが素晴らしい
In Japan, Jigsaw's Sky High is very popular.
This song was adopted by NTV as an admission song for professional wrestler Mil Máscaras.
It is a masterpiece that has established the entrance song for professional wrestlers.
It is also the main theme song of the bird-human contest with amateur participation held by NTV every year.
This song is perfect for Mil Máscaras' aerial skills and human-powered airplanes.
Thank you for the very interesting information. It was a pleasure to read your post.
私は以前、Dreamlandというアートベルショーを聴いていました。 アートはコマーシャルの間でこの曲を演奏しました。 私も今日本に住んでいます:)コメントありがとうございます。
Efectivamente el Mil Mascaras de México.
So that's why it's in Jojo. Thanks for the history lesson.
I remember it from Eurobeat lol
This is my favourite clip from the 70's. The hair, the clothes, the fact the lead singer is the drummer. And it's a great song too. 👍✊✌
I am so thankful for UA-cam for helping me to remember so many good memories
Wow, I haven’t heard this in decades……and it immediately came back to me ! I was 15 when it came out , Great memories!
Apart from hearing and seeing the 70's here, you can literally smell it as well.
Thank you u-tube, if we didnt have this outlet I think I would crack up.
You can smell the Brute, and old spice!!!
What did it smell like? I bet it smelled like ashtrays
@@suburban_guy JAWS hits the Cinemas
And, it smells exactly like Love’s Baby Soft.
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!!!_*

Memories of a much better time! I wish music was like this still. Lots of great movements! Oh I wish I could go back to those days...😰
Take me with you. Just fabulous.
i agree with you life was simpler back then and so was the music
We had one phone that was mounted on the wall. You had to call the phone company if you wanted to move it or get it fixed. Now I’m watching this video on my phone. Yeah, simpler and better-easier too, except for all the cigarettes.
My life's stories all in one song.
I feel the same way
Now listening in December 2024 !! What a tune !!! The clothes and hair great times !!
I go to pieces whenever I hear this song i was only11 in 1975 this makes me feel young again. i miss those great songs from the amazing 70's....😪✌👍.....
Apollo 11
Me too - listening to this at the age of 55 with a tear in my eye. Times were good then 😢😢
Right on brother..
@@juban1596 I am apollo 11
Definitely! I was 12.
I love this song. The 70’s were the best time ever to be a teenager.
You are so right, I would not want to be a Teenager today.
Yes and the very early 80s, then it all went wrong.
@@kevspencer5744 Naw, it was the mid 70's thru the mid 80's when "Punk" and the
"New Romantics" hit the scene.
@@garydunn3037 Punk was 1970s, New Romantics began very late 70s early 80s. after the Glam Rock era.
@@kevspencer5744 Disco came after Glam,
then Punk Rock killed Disco, then the New
Romantics came in the early 80's.
I was a 16 year old cruising town & hanging out with friends. all my siblings were living!! I wish we could go back in time.. Better music from a time it was fun!!
I say that also. Lots of people were still living, we had good times, good music that brings it all back to us in the first 30 seconds of listening. Now, we'll, not the same but, we'll have to make do!! I never dreamed I'd be 62!! Oy vey!
@@abbygirl1993 indeed.. time flies..
Yes me too ❤️life seemed more simple then, happy, carefree but didn't have much. Was just happy to hear a good tune like this
@@dianeedwards7387 I agree not much other then enjoying each other's company.. Partying was for fun and if there was a place swim even if it was skinny dipping.. But nothing bad..
Fantastic era!
A really great song from a great group!
Awesome song " Sky high " by jigsaw ! brilliant beat , great lyrics . brilliant .
I wish I was in the '70s again, miss those days!
Brian Gola me to mate ,,long gone Shame ,
Me too, I was a teenager in the 70’s. Best decade ever for music, if we could only turn the clock back. Wonderful times 😀
fus149 Hammer And rush hour didn't last all day, coffee wasn't a lifestyle choice. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
Me to!!
Yes..
Such wonderful memories come flooding back with this song. I wish I had a time machine.
Terry Masters and me Terry 🤔if only 😥
Someone is working on the machine right now. I've got my "Tickets to ride" Beatles song.
OMG me too!
These guys are all clean cut and you can understand EVERY word sung. Absolute tops!!
