David Soul, who won cult status for his role in 1970s TV series Starsky & Hutch before topping the charts with his hit 'Don't Give Up On Us', has died at the age of 80.
His heartbroken wife Helen Snell said the British-American star had passed away surrounded by his family following a 'valiant battle for life'. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12930537/Starsky-Hutch-star-David-Soul-dies-aged-80.html |

Bummer. I loved that show as a kid, and my sister and I would watch his variety show specials every year.
My father worked undercover on a drug task force back in the 70’s. He was blonde. His partner had dark curly hair, so their coworkers called them Starsky and Hutch. He hated it, so I called him Hutch every chance I got. It’d piss him off. Later, in the 80’s, he was still chasing drug dealers but lived on the beach and drove a sports car (280ZX), so I called him Crockett. |

I used to watch that show as a kid with my Dad. Like him in Magnum Force as well. |

Quoted: No. That show was the death knell for good cop shows until the genre was revived with shows like NYPD Blue with Dennis Franz after about a 15 year gap of crap. With the exception of Miami Vice of course. View Quote I disagree It was only two years between the end of Starsky and Hutch and the beginning of Hill Street Blues. |

My local used record store has a David Soul album in the $2.99 rack. I get a chuckle every time I flip past it. So 1980s . . . I bet is sucks big time.
