David “Hutch” Soul, ‘Don’t Give Up On Us’, late 1976

Actor David Soul, star of TV’s Starsky & Hutch, released “Don’t Give Up On Us” in late 1976. The song, written and produced by Tony Macaulay, spent four weeks at the top of the UK charts and a single glorious week at #1 in the US (April 16, 1977).

No matter what he did, David had “Soul.” OK, technically he was born “Solberg,” but work with me on this one.
