Sky High (song)

"Sky High" is the name of a 1975 single by British pop music group Jigsaw. The song, the main title theme to the film entitled ''The Man from Hong Kong'', was a world-wide hit in the latter part of 1975, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Adult Contemporary chart in the United States. It was also a Top 10 single in the UK Singles Chart.
