[@otisroseboro5613]

R.I.P To A Great Actor David Soul,You Will Be Missed

[@julielynn10]

Suddenly I’m a young teen again. Haven’t heard this in decades. At a time when Charlie’s Angels was the detective norm, Starsky and Hutch was much more raw. The episode Hutch tried to detox cold turkey was intense.

[@huchlvr]

RIP David. My tv boyfriend. I'm gutted you've left us to go sing with the angels. My favorite of his songs is 'Tomorrow Child' - a lullabye which he co-wrote for his children.

And just like that, I am 10 years old and have a crush on Hutch (David Soul) from Starsky and Hutch.😍 Then he releases this song and I am totally in love (as much as a 10 year old can be). I still listen to this song often and get lost in my memories. Great job guys!!!!!

[@michaelpayne8000]

I absolutely love this song by David Soul, I was only 12 years old when this beautiful song hit the airwaves back in 1976..I can close my eyes while listening 🎧 to this and transport my self back to the happier years of my childhood..It was a great decade to be alive throughout the 70's..Thank you both so much for sharing, you guys are the greatest..🎵🎶🎤🎸❤️

Yep, the car was a Gran Torino

[@marianneewing7287]

David did alot of Stunts on the early eps- he injured himself but always carried on like the athlete he was. He is in pain constantly now but manages it well, continues to work at 78.

[@Theasworld1984]

David was such an extraordinary man and there will never be anyone as captivating as he was so grateful my late grandmother introduced me to David soul's music because he was more than Hutch to me ❤ RIP thanks for eight wonderful years on Twitter the only reason for being on that platform that long you are loved and missed ❤

[@ilahildasissac1943]

May David RIP, he passed away today at 80. He was born in my hometown Chicago. He had 6 kids, I did not know that I am a 70's kid, we watched the show sometimes. It dealt with social issues of the time.

Yes, our Generation had a wide variety of the best music! I loved David, Barry Mannilo but also Pink Floyd & Led Zep as well as Southern Rock- Disco but just for dancing in clubs. We are lucky to have wonderful memories. My husband & I listen to music outside with a glass of wine almost every night. Great for forgetting what a hard life it really was & still is. Bless the Beasts & the Children for they have no say.

David Soul was such a handsome guy with such a beautiful voice. It's to bad he didn't sing more songs and act in more shows and movies.

[@richardfox1605]

One of the best songs of the 70s. David Soul was better known as officer Ken Hutchinson on TVs Starsky and Hutch

[@suedyment511]

Love Starsky and Hutch with David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser great series 1970 ,

[@willie417]

I remember this and I remember those sweaters that show had people wearing too, I just might bring them back Haha!

[@kimbozw1808]

an actor who tried singing. this was Britain's No 1 best selling single of 1977.

[@marianneewing7287]

No, he was always a singer , he was an accidental actor-his music lived on after leaving LA-&made atleast 7 great albums. He was a serious singer not trying , but Succeding! He Still has millions of fans all around the world who love him dearly.

[@catherinedavidson1661]

RIP David Soul. ❤

[@chrisunherded2374]

Before he was "Hutch", he was in a show called "Here Come the Brides ". One of the other actors in that show, Bobby Sherman, also had a brief music career. You may want to check out "Julie Do You Love Me" or "Cried Like a Baby".

[@chab1rd155]

Yessss!!!!

[@ZebraDazzle66]

Don’t forget he was in Stephen King’s Salem Lot.

[@amb2745]

Oh wow again you guys you're just brilliant and honest with your reactions, I was a 12-year-old or 13-year-old with Starsky and Hutch and that was hot should I believe as David soul and the media put him through crap so I really do believe there are good ones and the better people are the ones I get dist the most by Hollywood and the music business just my opinion but thank you you guys are awesome as always 👋🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏

[@marianneewing7287]

Yes, he hated Hollywood-it was & is all about money & short cuts . He wanted recognition for" UNSUB" but it was too ahead of its time. Michael Mann was the producer and later he developed "Miami Vice". David was brave enough to take on the role of Rick in the TV show "Casablanca" Bogart fans never gave him a chance but he was Phenominal- David left for Paris ,then London where he still resides.

[@back2black717]

I barely remember watching Starsky and Hutch but I do totally remember this song!! ( I was under 10 at the time of Starsky and Hutch popularity) Music has always resonated with me more than anything else. This was and still is a sweet song!

We are living in painful,maddening times. Besides David's music i have to listen to Jackson Brown or Dan Fogleburg--best for forgetting whats happening in the news(ALL BAD Especially for young women) please try to listen. almost all acoustic guitar with sweet singing

One aspect of the golden age of analog music is all those string instruments! Real wall of sound stuff. This one l thought to recommend but I'm glad someone did. great reaction 👍!

[@marianneewing7287]

This one of a few songs he did with a full orchestra. He was quoted as saying at the time how overwhelmed he was" these great musicians for me?" He never understood his celebrity or liked it, except for all the girls he enjoyed! Married 5!

Forgot about this one. Beautiful ❤️!

Man I was obsessed with Starsky and Hutch back in the day and all this time later I still love that show. Got it on DVD ha. He wasn't a half bad singer as well as being an actor.

[@dagmar.6954]

David Soul is an actor & singer. I remember watching him on the series "Here Come The Brides" (1968-1970) & on the series Starsky & Hutch (1975-1979). He also had a successful career as a singer with "Don't Give Up On Us" & "Silver Lady" in 1977.

In Here comes the brides, David Soul was an actor first, but Bobby Sherman was a singer first before he played on Here comes the brides,television show, I think 🤔

[@thorfinsky1427]

Love this song, another that was out around the same time was "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago, if you guys haven't reacted to it I strongly recommend it.

[@angelagoodwin5758]

Starsky and Hutch was a hugely popular "cop show" in the 70s. David Soul was Hutch and Paul Michael Glaser was Starsky. Some episodes are on You Tube if you want to check it out.

[@you2449]

To us who know the song (and back story) from the 70s, this song would be like a millennial today turning on a video and seeing Vin Diesel (or maybe Tom Cruise) suddenly singing a beautiful hit Love Song.

[@marianneewing7287]

David was first a singer who accidentally turned actor. He has a very empathetic nature & knows what ordinary citizens go thru. He is still an activist for Dogs , he helped with Animal voice to save some asian dogs from meatmarkets but succeeded in making these poor dogs be treated humanely before killed and eaten. He was an activist for Syrians when they were masacurred & trying to migrate to Europe. My favorite movie he did was "Key to Rebecca" but it's only avaiable on Amazon Prime . I had it on VCR but you know how that goes!

[@you2449]

Thanks. Yeah that's interesting. seems like there are several actors like that. (Marky Mark immediately comes to mind.)

[@marianneewing7287]

Thank You Shaun & Mel for your beautiful reaction and coments- I shared it to my "It's all about David Soul "site- It was #1 in april 1977 and still comes through in 2022- so happy you loved it- He had 2 # 1 hits and 1 # 2 but theres much more to him including other songs & duets along with movies & TV. I personally think this song is to his 7 year live in Partner who supported his career from 1972-1979 as bad guy in "Magnum force" & Detective Ken Hutchinson in "Starsky & HUtch" Multitalented Man

[@Eric-ms1ry]

Well you know more about his girlfriends than I do....but he did NOT write this song

I'm gonna give this a like just because yall are pretty good actors. God Bless Yall

[@keeperlit.leterrip7722]

Me and my friends seen him at a bar on Sunset Blvd circa 1993. The bar was otherwise empty. We were big fans of Starslky and Hutch whern we were kids. I told my friend not to bother him thinking he would be tired of being approached. My friend insists. I tell him to at least address him as David. He goes over and says "Hi Hutch" David turns round and is upset and says , "Have I got a sign on my back?" Touchy drunk.

[@marianneewing7287]

Well, ya' know he wasn't very happy at that time of his life. His new wife suddenly turned Born Again Christian-imagine how he felt ? He had enough of the Church as a place to find solace-he never did & his dad was a famous Lutheran Minister. He loved her and the kids dearly but Hollywood screwed him too. He no longer got calls for good roles like in the '80s either so he moved to Paris & then London where he lives happily & still working He is Like Hemmingway a great lover of Adventure And Women- a good soul

[@jaq4608]

Wow, this was out when I was in high school and I just turned 60!

[@delisamarchetti5926]

Oh my goodness I had the biggest crush on him when I was about 14. Loved Starsky and Hutch. One week I was in puppy love with Starsky and the next week it was Hutch. I thought they were so cool. If you have never watched the show you should give it a try, its really good. I even had his poster on my wall! When this song came out I played it a million times sigh! Such happy memories. This song still stands the test of time. It even means more to me now that I am older and can really understand the depth of the lyrics.

[@scouseofhorror104]

Found out literally in the last couple of days that he was actually from the UK!

[@marianneewing7287]

He was born in Chicago. His Dad was religious affairs director for US government helping the German people reunite after WW2-so he spent his formative year witnessing tragedy and hope in Berlin. Then the family resettled in South Dakota, then Mexico City, he ran away after a year hitchhiking to Minnasota where his sweetheart lived, then NYCity and LA -he moved to Paris then London to do stage work , some TV & movies but mainly making more albums

[@markharris1125]

I always loved David Soul's voice, even at a time when it wasn't hip to like him. This was number one in the UK and the US. The line you picked up on, 'the angel and the dreamer' always hit me really hard. Five more to try: Silver Lady Going In With My Eyes Open Playing To An Audience Of One (my favourite) Nobody But A Fool Or A Preacher Mary's Fancy The last two are rather different from the others, which are romantic ballads in the style of 'Don't Give Up On Us'. Oh, I have to add Topanga as well, love that song. Written by David as well. Do you know, just the other day I thought to myself, 'Never hear any David Soul on the reaction channels' and suddenly here you are. Please listen to some more and let's hope other people pick up on him. You know who else I never hear? Only one of the best songwriters ever, Neil Sedaka! I hope you'll take this suggestion on board with one of these five: Laughter In The Rain New York City Blues The Hungry Years That's When The Music Takes Me The Immigrant (one of the best songs ever written, I think) Thanks fo taking me back in time, great show.

[@marianneewing7287]

[@Eric-ms1ry]

Great comment...this is my very favorite song that was written or co written by Tony .Tony also wrote ( by himself) " Last night I didn't get to sleep at all" which he offered to the Carpenters.Karen liked the song but refused to sing any song with any reference to drugs...and that song referred to " sleeping pills" So Karen asked for that line to be changed.. which Tony did write any alternative line,but he didn't like that line as much

[@appledoreman]

@@Eric-ms1ry As you probably know, the 5th Dimension recorded it instead. Unfortunately, it's not on the double-CD Buttercups & Rainbows. featuring 50 Macaulay-Macleod compositions, but then, neither are any of his later compositions, like Don't give up on us, Silver lady, Falling apart at the seams, Home lovin' man, You won't find another fool like me & Blame it on the pony express. My own lesser-known Tony Macaulay song is Like a sad old kinda movie by Pickettywitch.
