REISSUE: "Sky High" by Jigsaw - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera





REISSUE: "Sky High" by Jigsaw - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Jigsaw is an English pop band who found success in 1975 with their dynamite single, "Sky High" - the song was originally from a film titled "The Dragon Flies" (later titled "The Man From Hong Kong"). It made Top UK 10 that year.

"Sky High" is one of the earliest pop disco tracks I can remember with the early elements of swirling strings and orchestrations that give disco it's reputation. It has always has been a favorite of mine.

I have taken the 1979 comedy-spoof, "Airplane!" and placed piece of the hilarious scenes overt this classic dance track - the results are quite funny. The film was directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker - it was a take-off of the 70's disaster film genre focusing on the "Airport" series.

The film stars Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges and Peter Graves
