He lived in London for a time, in the Hampstead / Highgate area. My flatmate used to see him in the Boogaloo pub on Archway Road, near Highgate Station.
RIP

according to a mate that was "karkeys and klutch"

80 is not a bad innings, though.
RIP

Like everyone, I used to watch Starsky and Hutch in the 70s. For some reason, my Dad and my Uncle Martin (my Mum’s brother) locally had the nickname Starsky and Hutch. They did wear cardigans, but I don’t remember them rolling on car bonnets or anything. I think it was just they were a duo and the programme was in vogue.

I respected Soul for his work on domestic abuse and his apparently sincere remorse and candour about his own behaviour. It takes people like that to talk openly and with remorse for others to change too.

RIP, David.

oh, i remember my sister being absolutely infatuated with him. I was more into Paul Michael Glaser, truth be told.

Apparently a very heavy smoker and all that went with that...

I absolutely adored him when I was little. Sad news.
Particularly liked him in Salem's Lot.

Just remember Paul Michael Glaser died a while back, Antonio Fargas not so long ago and of course Bernie Hamilton a few years back.

My mate’s older brother tried to decorate his Vauxhall Viva in a similar way. Trouble was, his car was purple and it looked shit esp. since he used white matte paint.

He gave up on us, baby

There was a Capri that i used to see driving round Plymouth in the 70s painted up like the S&H car. It was quite a good job as it happens.

Are you living in a parallel universe?

Loved Starsky & Hutch , I was allowed to stay up late , started at 9.25pm and he was great in Salem's Lot. Not a bad singer , although I read something today about his early career when he was a masked singer who specialised in carribean music Oh , and my favourite toy car as a kid , was the Starsky car , Hutch drove a shit car.

RIP .

That's a really nice piece. Obviously it's meant to make him come across well, but it does a very good job of it.

Paul Michael Glaser's wife famously died of AIDS. Are you thinking of that?

Are you sure Paul Michael Glaser died?

Just remember Paul Michael Glaser died a while back,

No he didn’t!

Antonio Fargas not so long ago and of course Bernie Hamilton a few years back.

That episode where Hutch got hooked on horse after the baddies shot him up a couple of times was classic TV. When Starsky comes and rescues him and they have a big cuddle there wasn't a dry eye in our house. He then has to go cold turkey, but Starsky has his back and their bromance is all that's needed to beat the smack, and keep Hutch his badge.

They don't make them like that anymore.

No he didn’t!

I missed most of St and H while it was prime viewing, and always felt a bit left out at school, when everyone as taking about it

As a 7-year old I got very confused between David Soul and soul music... there was a period where I thought all soul music was made by David Soul.

"started at 9.25pm"
Are you sure about that?

I often found it difficult to follow the plots of episodes of Starsky and Hutch.
