I remember this one from the juke box at the first arcade we had in our little town. That was the days before video games, just pin-ball and pool tables.
I know Daniel Boone is known for Beautiful Sunday. I wonder why he's not for this song. Beautiful Sunday is a wonderful song. This song is catchy though I really enjoy this song also.
@@JCStorm76I don't understand why this song wasn't as well known as beautiful sunday? because this song is really catchy. I wished the song would have gotten more attention than what it did because. He wasn't one hit wonder. From beautiful sunday but he wasn't as well known for this song.
@@DerekBoldiene360 I wasn’t born but it reached number 16 here in Australia. Don’t think it was a hit anywhere else either which is really strange as it just instantly sounds like a surefire hit of it’s time
I am 61 years old and remember this song on autumn and Christmas 1973-1974 (november-1973 to january-1974 on spanish music chart) when I was 16 years old (from Spain)...the time goes fast.
It said he actually passed away recently.This song should have gone more attention than it did. His most known song was beautiful Sunday. He was a one hit wonder. I wish this one would have gotten more attention.
@@DerekBoldiene360I feel bad for Daniel Boone because he was underrated. Rest In Peace Daniel Boone. p.s. Boone was not a one hit wonder as he had other great songs.
@@eileenryan2248 Yea its sad because I looked this up. I looked Daniel Boone Singer and this showed up Daniel Boone was an English pop musician who became a one-hit wonder in the United States with the single "Beautiful Sunday" in 1972. Beautiful Sunday got him most known I wish this song would have gotten attention as well because its super catchy.
Only found out about this song when Ross and John played it on Melbourne radio after four base jumpers leapt from the 55th floor of one of our tallest buildings. I'm so glad they did.
Yeah, memory city with this baby!!!! made me wanna skydive which I've done...but I'm addicted...even though the last time was '93'ish....weeeheeee...wanna jump to this song
Maybe he was only popular in EuropeFor some stupid reason Daniel Boone wasn't big in the U.S. He's great. He had more than just one hit. We had BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY but not SKYDIVER or MAMA. He had 5 albums in his career. I can't understand why he was underrated so. I feel bad for him. Rest In Peace Daniel Boone Maybe somehow he was only popular in Europe.
I was having yet another driving experience of being stuck behind a slow driver when a version of this popped into my head. It goes; You drive so slow, slow. Got nowhere to go You crawl, crawl. You hardly move at all Slowing me down, down, crawl along the ground Don't wanna be stuck behind you slow driver Perhaps my brain was trying to head off road rage.
Daniels real name is Peter Green, his mother was my Dads twin sister. I’ve never met him. Shame because my mum deserted me and my three brothers when we put into Barnardos. Proud of him.
This song "Skydiver" was faithfully revived for many years by legendary Melbourne glam rock cover band "The Melody Lords" in the 80s and 90s. You can catch the Melody Lords on RUclips and more recently, (out of glam costume), two of the band have been doing Melb ISO pick me ups from a park bench unmasked! "SKYDIVER" was in their set yesterday (5 Nov 2020). The "Lords" as they're known to their legions of glam tart fans, were a Melbourne (and Sydney) live glam rock institution for many years at pubs and clubs. Have a listen - I think on Facebook you've got to search for Jeremy Stanford (one of the band members) - videos are posted on his page. All good memories and a bit of fun. As for Daniel Boone, how bloody good was he!
@@jamcofec hi Nick, thanks for the info and getting in touch. Surprised my words went that far. D@nial aka Peter Green was a very prolific song writer and years ago he wrote a song called I Belongfor the Eurovision Song Contest sung by Kathy Kirby. The song came second which helped him on his way. A song was written for TomJones which he rejected and Daniel recorded it and it got high up in the American charts and also I believe no 2 here. He had Beautiful Sunday in the Japanese charts for 10 months and they loved him and also very popular in Europe. I met his parents before he had a hit and they told me was doing gigs but it didn’t re@lly register with me till years later. I went to a cinema live show in Kingston Surrey and sa Tommy Bruce and the Bruisers with a song called Ain’t Misbehaving not knowing my cousin was playing lead guitar. He was a month older than me and I’ve seen him a few times on TV. Thanks again for your thoughts! Very kind. Geoff.
I first herd this wen i was13 yers i still love ot im 62😅
Awesome song takes me back to high school days.
A big hit here in Australia(and only in Australia), late 1973/early 1974. A really great song.
This song was featured on the K-Tel compilation LP "Unreal!" - released early 1974.
Big in NZ too

This was the first real 'pop song' that I really loved after my father gave me my first radio. It still has a special place in my memories.
Great track
Great song. I don't know what made me remember this after not having heard it for 40 years.
Awesome song & the louder the better
