Charles Daly Barnet (October 26, 1913 - September 4, 1991) was an American jazz saxophonist, composer, and bandleader.
Skyliner was written as the theme music for the late 1940s US Armed Forces Network program "Midnight In Munich," broadcast from the AFN station in Munich, Germany, and hosted by Ralph Moffat. Thanks to the station's immensely powerful twin 100 kW transmitters, AFN Munich could be heard as far away as the UK; this, and the popularity of Moffat's show, evidently helped Skyliner and many other contemporary American swing hits to gain wide popularity across Europe and become hits in the UK. The title (which was originally printed as "Sky Liner") may be a reference to the practice of American pilots flying into Munich who used the radio station's powerful signal to home in on the city.
