Unhappy Poor old David Soul....

I had no idea he had fallen on such hard times. In my youth he was a *giant* star, with his massive hit records 'n all. I hope he still gets royalties for those at least. He gets sod all from the original Starsky and Hutch, or the new movie.

Yeah - I was a Starsky and Hutch boy when I was younger - even got my hair permed to look like Starsky.

Never knew some of the past of David though - specifically, the masked singer and 'Andy Warhol' era shall we say. Loved his comments on AW

I hope the guy comes up trumps again - I would buy his album today like I did back in 77, for ole time sake

I am a bit young to appreciate starsky and hutch but it is always sad to see a legend fall on hard times.

Is the movie out yet and is it worthseeing?

My only thought is, are my best (financial) times less than his worst?

What is his exact financial potion?

Flippin eck, what on earth is Scoobynet coming to? An entire thread on David Soul, and none of you has yet mentioned that his real name is David Solberg!

He's blonde too, wonder what the story is there....

yep quite shocking and brave of him to dwell on his era when he was selling body, I was a big fan of Starsky and Hutch, which reminds me, did anyone get shafted by those co*k suckers the news of the world yesterday? Only bought it because of the free DVD, turns out its a voucher you have to redeem at blockbuster, when I get there they have none left, w4nkers!!!

Sorry to hear if he has fallen on bad times. I enjoyed Starsky and Hutch too and he was a good singer as well.

Given the film publicity, I've no doubt he can claw some cash back by doing promo stuff etc.

Toadie in Muppets wants to know where the story is.

There's a thread in NSR, saying the David Soul has fallen on hard times.

Anyone know where this story is, as I can't find it on the Beeb website?

Purely for reasearch purposes you understand.

Not brave enough to leave the hutch and ask on the NSR thread.

Doubt it. Given his track record I expect he will get ripped off again.

Exclamation No Luke. I, am your father!




There's something going on there, and I think the world deserves an answer...
