@Brianleo666 - Starsky was playing the keys on this song? Seriously?? That is hilarious even if it's not true! I could just picture Paul Michael Glazier playing the keys making kissy faces and winking at David Soul as these two tough Guy cops make a soft rock ballad.
On this date in 1977 {Jan. 29th} "Don't Give Up On Us" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; eventually it would peak at No. 1 {for one week} and stay for a total of 19 weeks in the Top 100!!!
This song is from when Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson went undercover to bust some crooked record executive moguls...BTW - not too many people know this but Starsky was playing the keys on this one...
Old David may have repented, become a redeemed character today, who knows. But yes, I remember reading the headlines and the ongoing scandal - whilst I was very young - and sadly, its one of the first things I think of when I hear his name or his music.
I had my 1st crush on David Soul back in the day, I would wait all week to see this on TOTP when it was number 1, then we'd all talk about it at school the next day. Such happy memories
@etornel79 Yup. That's David Soul who played Kenneth Hutchinson. He had 2 #1 hits in the UK. This and another called, 'Silver Lady.' Not bad for someone who isn't a natural singer but a great actor.
Its amazing how many thick heads there are that tune in, if you dont like the man why tune in to this page.Is it just so you can be rude and personal.This is for music not to slag people off ,This is a peice of music for entertainment, you have the best option open to you,choice ! go somewhere els and listern to something you like and maybe write something nice,it might even cheer you up for the day.His personal life should be his own not for everyone to jump in and comment.Appreciate the music.
Love the song!! I was a big S & H fan back in the Day. But even today, I still find it amazing that the man playing Hutch could belt out in such a lovely tenor. No matter what you've heard or may think of David Soul, he did alright on this song!!
Wife beater and trash. . . I wish he would suffer a terrible death. If you listen to this song you can hear him blaming his ex-wife for the things he did to her. Pure crap in a pretty box. .
@pq9r6v3h2x I am absolutely correct. I was alive and aware of the events when they happened. You are the one who doesn't know what you are talking about. He is a horrible person. Once an abuser, always an abuser. May he reap his reward for his actions in this lifetime.
Who remembers this...wasn't he just an unsung hero....so for all of us who heard this a long time ago ....and for all the younger ones who heard this later....Happy New Year!!!!!
LOVE 70's music vids, especially ballads - instrumental break at 2:23 and a crisis in the editors office, Captain & Tennille are using the stock rolling waves footage and Bertie Higgins has the sunset? Hmm, lets just fade in this random picture of a guy on a horse, nobody will notice...
To all you Austin Peay Governors fans and Seattle Mariners fans: This was the #1 song in the USA when George Sherrill came into the world (April 19, 1977).
My sister bought this record the day it was released. She was a HUGE Starsky & Hutch fan and always had a crush on the David Soul character. I got stuck having to listen to that song over and over and over and over again. I liked it, but it was the only song continuously playing in the house. Hearing it again brings back a lot of memories.
Back in grammar school all the girls could'nt wait for Here Come the Brides. Having David Soul and Bovvy Sherman on the same show was a coo for Tiger Beat!
Yeh. I downloaded this song immediately when I watch Johnny English. This is one of the best love ballads ever written and forgotten in the sands of time. Brings back a lot of memories of my high school days when I first heard it. Can't believe so many years have past.
OH PLEASE! THIS WAS A #1 ON THE BILLBOARD POP CHARTS IN1977! DON JOHNSON'S 1986 HIT "HEARTBEAT" HAD MORE 'SOUL' THAN THIS! VIVA MIAMI VICE; FUCK STARSKY AND HUTCH!
oh... i love this song... it bring backs all my memories... thank you for posting...
starky and hutch, the chips... donny and marie osmond... little house on the prairy..bionic woman, charlies angle...the love boat...million dollar man thats my favorite tv programs wayback 1976...
OMG! I had forgotten he did this song. I think I was around 12 years old at the time. He's not the only tv series personality to make a one time hit. The blonde dude from the Dukes of Hazzard (original tv series) had a hit too which was more on the country side of music.
this song used to depress the hell out of me when i a child. my mom played it all the time. could never understand why hutch was belting out soft pop ballads
@soulcornflake1 yeah david was really nice he signed my copy of salems lot and an lp record,i have the photo of me and david on my facebook page,thanks...
my husband is in afganistan .. i told him this ..hope all serving in these wars come home safe to family and frends..he shipped out 2 yrs ago..funny i remember mom crying as dad went to veitnam,,i was 8 years old...i can understand now ...
He was an icon in "Starsky and Hutch"... remarkable in his acting genius in "Salem's Lot". David Soul was an under rated and doubtlessly underpaid man who was destined for better things in the film industry. Yet like so much else, sometimes good guys finish last. I will always admire him.
