[TV] David Soul RIP

[birthofanorange]

He gave up on us.

 

[BLOCK F]

Used to love Starsky and Hutch.
RIP David.

 

[Eeyore]

Always enjoyed his music. Was only playing it this week. RIP

 

[portlock seagull]

As cool and good looking as they come. RIP Dave, what a MAN!

 

[portlock seagull]

Not exactly a good guy. He was married five times and a wife beater with one of them.

Always one on every RIP thread…

 

[Weststander]

my mum loved him too

I adore that song and often play it.

RIP. Starksy & Hutch (and Kojak) made Saturday evenings great, in the child/teenage years before I could go out boozing.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Great back in the day, in through the car window.....not one to try now!!

 

[SeagullinExile]

Not forgetting Salems Lot. Scared the crap out of me.

Yup. Especially the ghost boy floating outside the windows scraping his fingers down the glass! I didn’t sleep for a week after watching that!

 

[Napier]

Enjoyed his music and Starsky & Hutch. RIP David.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Very sad news, a good guy. Silver Lady wasn’t a bad song either.

Wasn’t he based over here for a stint? I seem to remember him campaigning for Martin Bell against those revolting Hamilton creatures in the 1997 election.

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Enjoyed his music and Starsky & Hutch. RIP David.

I’m lost and alone, chilled to the bone……Silver Lady

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

RIP

 

[Official Old Man]

Clicked on 'Don't Give Up On Us' and shed a little tear.
An era when everyone had that white stripe on their cars.

 

[Flounce]

Sad, but 80 is a decent run. RIP

Always one on every RIP thread…

Will be written in his obituary I'm afraid because he very publicly talked about and his regret.

So I guess that makes us two.

I presume he died in London because he had lived here since the 90s and had British Citzenship.

 

[METALMICKY]

Sad news indeed, Starsky & Hutch were a big part of my Saturday nights in the 70's.

R.I.P.

Totally this. It was the pre cursor to the weekend treat when I was allowed to stay up late to watch Match of The Day. The alternative Saturday night shows like Ironside and Cannon didn't cut it although Kojak was OK.

Now when it came to Starsky & Hutch which opening title music did you prefer? For me it was the original. And did you ever own the white Starsky cardigan?

 

[Motogull]

If you are of a certain age, David Soul was a well cool dude.

80 is a bit light these days, so that's sad.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Kojak, Cannon and S&H.

Saturday nights as a kid.

Great back in the day, in through the car window.....not one to try now!!

Think that was the Dukes of Hazard, S & H was the slide over the bonnet move.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I loved Starsky and Hutch, by far my best ever cop tv show and his songs were decent as well. He was Mr Cool. RIP Hutch
