  • Brilliant

  • just discoverd this band.fantastic

  • One of the best i've seen. Great work.

  • GREAT JOB !!!!!!

  • Yeah! I also refuse to grow old without a fight!

    R.I.P. Clive

  • Loved it then Love it now Classic

  • I owe you guys the world.

    In the 70s, life for an extended "while" was REAL tough.

    SH (& Elton John's Island Girl & the Bros. Johnson's Strawberry Letter) helped immensely in easing the load, sending a message to the worries that they were going to be given notice, evicted, thrown out on the curb when things would be turned around.

    I too am sorry about Clive. I saw nothing in the news in 2009 about this and his passing certainly should have been given more respect.

    Thanks again.

  • @7855waldo This as suc a good tune---I did not know of his death----EITHER!:-(

  • Wow! Very good. 5 stars!

  • Nice remake! Thanks for feeling this tune, guys!

  • Beautiful & most heartfelt remake, fellas! Thanks for all your hard work!

  • The man from Hong Kong aproves !!!

  • A Superb remake...very faithful to the original (this comming from a person who despises sampling and the 'Let's redo that great tyne and IMPROVE it'-type of mindset so common nowadays.

    From a fan from Brazil.

    R.I.P. Clive.

  • Some sincere comments...how wonderfull...great song...always loved it...always will....RIP to your friend.Hes here forever!

  • GREAT JOB! NICE VERSION! BRAVO!!!

  • Rest in Peace my old friend Clive on keyboard. I was hoping you could come and hang out when I come to visit UK next year. Fond memories of you are written in the clouds above Radford Coventry where we grew up. I am so saddened that I did not get to see you again. Coventry has lost one of its brightest stars.

  • I am too sad to have just discovered that while I was getting ready to celebrate my 60th birthday in May, my childhood friend Clive Scott had passed. We grew up around the corner from each other in Coventry. FirsI met when I moved to England from Jamaica in 1962 He was a wonderful friend and role model during my teenage years. He was one of the sweetest English men I ever knew. I lost touch with him in 1979 , when I moved to the USA. Rest Peace my old friend.

    PS. I love the remake

  • Love it, you guys were so cool, 5 stars. I just think this song is a classic.

    Awesome!!

  • WOW AWSOME,,,, BRAVO

  • nice version!

    Hello From Brazil

  • Jigsaw a Coventry band YAY!

  • BRILLIANT!

  • Soungs great-IS THIS THE ORIGINAL SINGER?

    DOES ANYBODY KNOW?

  • Reading through the info provided by Ian Levine about this video, I think this is the orignal singer/songwriter Des Dyer along with the original keyboard player/songwriter Clive Scott. Sadly Clive passed away recently. Brilliant song.

  • good!good!good!gooooood!!job!!­!

  • I liked the remake, put a nice touch on it. Sad to hear about Clive Scott, my condolences to you, friends and his family.

  • Jigsaw was part of my history a great band saw them many times and they were always entertaining and really nice guys scotty will be sorely missed thank you for the great music m8

  • You guys look like you had a lot of fun.

  • Good cover.

  • Clive Scott will be missed.Along with Des Dyer they were two of the most underrated songwriters in the history of rock and roll.Ian,if you ever get a chance.How about a cd of Jigsaw hits and rarities?

  • Clive was a lovely man and I have fond memories of him in Jigsaw when they appeared in Chatham Naval Base on numerous occasions..God Bless You Clive x

  • On behalf of Carol, Leah & myself, we want to express our sadness for the loss of Clive - a friend to us all, and our thoughts are with Ann, Sam and Bren... at this time. Along with his family, his legacy will be the wonderful songs he has written & performed with his friends and colleagues. We'll all miss him.

  • I'm shocked & deeply saddened by the news of Clive scott. I send my condolences to his friends and family. His music legacy will last forever.

  • It is with a painfully heavy heart, and with the deepest of sadness burdening my soul, that I have to tell you all that my wonderful and brilliant and irreplaceable songwriting partner of the last sixteen years, Clive Scott, passed away on Sunday night, after suffering a massive stroke as a complication of him falling off a ladder onto concrete two weeks ago. The world will never be the same.

  • Have you read the paper's,  Have you heard the new's,

    Then why'd you get out of bed,

    Did'nt you read what they said,

    They said todays the coldest monday, Since it broke that awfulf sunday,

    was it in the afternoon,

    I lost my head,I forget........................­.

    A song that I love by Scott/Dyer that I used to play quite often, but now has a very different meaning to me.

    I was shocked by the news of Clives death and still cant believe it. R I P Clive.

  • So sad to hear about Clive. I been on with Jigsaw a number of times around various RAF bases and clubs in the East Anglia/Peterborough area in the 1970s.. My condolences to family and friends

  • Very sad news about Clive. Sky High is one of my alltime favourate songs ever, even if i was too young to know about the original release! There is a certain "happy, nostagic sadness" about it, if it makes any sense?

  • R.I.P. Clive Scott. Sky High is fantastic and one of my favourites. I send my condolences to Clive's family, former band members, and friends.

  • @levin, is your claim legitimate? there have been no news reports.

  • Of course it is. I have worked with the man constantly for the last sixteen years. I'm shocked you'd even ask.

  • That is terrible news about Clive and I am praying that he makes a full recovery. Sky High is one of my favourites.

  • Clive Scott of Jigsaw, who has been my co-producer and co-writer for the last sixteen years, has had a terrible accident. He's fallen off a ladder and has multiple shattered bones plus bleeding in his brain, and he's in intensive care and it's touch and go. I am numb right now, and don't know what else to say. I ask anyone who has ever enjoyed our music to say a prayer for him please.

  • Oh, no!

    I wish he is going to be O.K.

  • This sounds great!

  • the main singer of this band came 2 my skool we luv u des xxx

  • Whoa ! Didn't think I would like it but I am digging it! Sweet job! One of my all time fav songs!

  • Wow, the song was good to begin with and now it sounds even better good job guys :)

  • Dez Dyer is my drum teacher

  • For me, one of the best pop songs of the 70's, still sounds fresh today. I love this new production. Really great !

  • Sounds great! The original is one of my favorite songs ever.

  • AWESOME! Loved this song as a kid growing up in the '70s and still do-40 now. Incredible job in making the song actually sound better than the original version. Thumbs UP !!

  • This song was the start of my musical career when we performed it for Hughie Green on Oppertunity Knocks, ( now Im showing my age).We were called 'Astral Plane' and we came second. That was way back in 76. Funny but we met the guys at a hotel gig they were doing in Salisbury some ten years later. Ive always been a fan of Scott/Dyer and they have to be Two of the most underestimated songwriters this country ever produced. Thanks guys for some great work and inspiration.

  • Great job boys

  • Well done babes!

  • Bravo!

  • i named this one of the 10 best radio songs of the '70s, ian. still sounds great!

  • These guys sound tremendous. I think this is an even better version than the first one. They rock.

  • For old guys, you sound pretty good.

    Great job !!

  • I absolutley love this song, and this is a great version.

  • Ahh, what a classsic,Des and the guys sound as good as ever !!Brilliant song, Thanks for posting this Ian and good luck for the future. Steve.

  • Thank you for posting this.We played this song in high school pep band in 1977.I had that great horn part.Brings back great memories.
