David Soul has died

[Eyesopenwideawake]

Sad - I had the biggest crush on him as Ken Hutchinson.

I'm sorry but anybody that beats a woman deserves to burn forever in their version of hell......

I was a Hutch's Girl as a teenager, but after the domestic violence story hit the press I couldn't listen to Don't Give Up On Us Baby without hearing it as a man explaining to his wife why she shouldn't leave him just because he'd battered her in a fit of rage.

I expect many of us are familiar with this poster:

I was a Starsky girl myself, but I had Soul's LP "Playing to an audience of one" and it got played a lot when I was a teenager.

Of course I went right off him when I heard about the wife abuse.

But even so, hearing that he's dead still feels like the end of a younger part of my life. It reminds me that death is creeping up on me too. (it's being so cheerful keeps me going 😀)

Not to excuse the violence, but he did later visit prisons to talk to inmates about DV.

I was a Starsky girl. But I loved David Soul's singing. He was brilliant as Jerry Springer in Jerry Springer: The Opera.

I couldnt believe he as 80!

I loved Starsky and Hutch as a teenager and played the album to death.
Paul Michael Glaser had quite a tragic life losing his wife and daughter to AIDS caught from a blood transfusion.

i was a starsky fan, and huggy bear
but i loved his songs.
he did have an alcohol problem
and he lived to 80 so not bad

Team Starsky, but very sad to hear of David’s passing. RIP David.

Since covid I have started knitting iconic knitwear , i have Knitted the Neville Longbottom, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift's cardigans . I was looking for another project and remembered the Starsky cardigan. My BF's Nan knitted one for her back in day. . I have managed to buy a vintage pattern online so it's now on in my project list.

I saw Paul Michael Glaser in Fiddler on the Roof the other day. He was very young in that and very good looking. That must have been filmed 50-60 years ago.

I have childhood memories of watching S&H with my older sisters and the THUMP on the bonnet of the car!!

Aww R.I.P. Big fan of S & H in the 1970s, and loved the few hits he had. Don't give up on us was a classic. Also loved Silver lady, Sure brings out the love in your eyes, Going in with my eyes open, Let's have a quiet night in. Some good songs there!

I saw PMG in Panto playing Captain Hook about 15 years ago!

Not keen on men who were convicted of domestic violence tbh.

Got my DH a Starsky cardigan for his birthday, he loves it.
