Looking for a pop song, medium tempo, sounds like a solo, fairly
lyrical with following chorus "blow it all sky high" .... "don't tell
no lie" [or similar]. Who could it be?

Hi chriso_312,

The song is "Sky High," a hit by Jigsaw in 1975.  I haven't found
definitive lyrics -- here is one (of many) unofficial transcriptions:

"SKY HIGH"
International Lyrics Playround

You can hear a clip of the song here:

"The Very Best of Jigsaw" [scroll down to "Listen to Samples"]

If this is not the version you're thinking of, there's another
possibility.  DJ Miko covered the song -- it appears on various
albums, including this one:

"Trance Heaven, Vol. 2" [scroll down to "Track List"]
Barnes & Noble.com

Perhaps other artists have covered it as well.  If you're seeking a
different artist's version, please let me know so that I may do
follow-up research.

THANK YOU --- this has been driving me nuts, and now you have solved the problem!

It might also be "Flick of the Switch" by AC/DC...a lot of their songs
sound like solos.
