R.I.P. David Soul

[Drago]

Poor bloke has dropped off his perch, aged 80. Best known perhaps for Starkey and Hutch, but his finest role was as the sociopathic copper in Magnum Force. Offtimes warbler and campaigner, had latterly made his home in London.

R.I.P. feller.

Aw that is sad. I saw him at Euston Station once - I thought that was an odd place to see the bloke from Starsky and Hutch.

He also sang as the 'Covered Man'. It was enough to give you nightmares.

I used to love watching Starsky + Hutch as a kid, and let's not forget his cameo in Little Britain. 😊

Saturday nights (was it Saturday's?) in the seventies weren't complete without Husky and Starch. Great entertainment.

Another part of my past has gone.
Starsky and Hutch (don't forget Huggybear) was a must watch.....along with thier red car complete with go faster stripes.
Lovely singing voice as well.

Although he will always be Hutch he was very much a sensitive thespian not a tough guy.
Of his movie roles, one of my favs is as one of the bad guys in The Line of Duty, the true life story of the infamous 1986 Miami shoutout, now used as an FBI training film.

Aah yes, memories of when Saturday night TV wasn't dominated by cheap tacky minor nano-celebrities on game shows.
Starsky & Hutch was the cop show to watch. I always liked Morecambe & Wise parody of it, 'Starkers & Crutch'. You know you've arrived when they make fun of you. Oh well, another part of my 70's childhood is gone.... :

Antonio Fargas is still acting, he played a brilliant parody of Huggy Bear in a film I watched a while back, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.

And according to IMDB he's also been in Holby City and Miami Vice.

That’s a shame, I liked him.

My mate’s dad had a silver box Zephyr (bench front seats and column shift) which he had decalled with “Silver Lady” on the boot, just because of David Soul’s hit song of the time.

Still the greatest ever theme tune. Tom Scott, Gotcha.

A couple of fans from Bradford did a really neat reproduction/tribute of the original intro scenes.
