Jigsaw is a long standing, and, according to some, a very under-rated English pop music group fronted by the singer-songwriter duo of Clive Scott and Des Dyer. In Australia the group was called "British Jigsaw" due to the existence of a local band of the same name.
Originally a six piece band, formed from musicians in Coventry and Rugby by Tony Campbell in 1966, they went on to score a number of hit singles around the world. They also released thirteen albums. The group was partly influenced by fellow British musicians The Beatles, at times sounding Beatle-esque, especially their ballads, which show leanings towards Paul McCartney's musical and vocal arrangements.
They are probably most well known for their hit "Sky High" (click link to listen) that made it to #3 in the U.S. but went to #1 everywhere wlse in the world. A final single under the Jigsaw name was released by Splash in early 1983 called "Love Isn't At Home" The band, as a unit, finally ceased in 1981. They do have a curent release "Best of Jigsaw, Vol. 1"
