3M 6 Jan 9:47am, 6 Jan 2024 22,994 posts	0 3M David Soul got a mention above - not sure if it was before or after his deTath was announced! I actually quite liked both "Don't give up on us" and "Silver Lady" but cannot remember anything else he sung. And I never really watched Starsky and Hutch. But I'm amazed he was only in his early 80s!

Velociraptor 6 Jan 9:57am, 6 Jan 2024 67,189 posts	0 Velociraptor "Don't Give Up On Us Baby" gives me the shudders in the context of David Soul's history of domestic violence.
Nellers 6 Jan 12:26pm, 6 Jan 2024 41,894 posts	0 Nellers I know almost nothing of David Soul beyond "Don't give up..." and the chunky cardi cop thing. Wasn't aware of him being problematic but then I wasn't aware of him being much at all for about 40 years so there's that.

Velociraptor 6 Jan 12:52pm, 6 Jan 2024 67,198 posts	0 Velociraptor I was a Hutch's Girl when you had to pick one or the other. Poster on my wall and everything. Was gutted when he turned out to be a bad'un.
Cerrertonia 6 Jan 4:53pm, 6 Jan 2024 20,255 posts	0 Cerrertonia This might get be the one thread where there is a crossover between David Soul, Frank Sidebottom, and The Fall I have a friend who worked with Frank Sidebottom, another who got David Soul to accompany her to a record company party and a friend who has been treated in hospital by Dr. Marcia Schofield, former keyboard player in The Fall.
