Nice song from the Seventies. David Soul, the "Hutch" of "Starsky and Hutch", launched his singing career with this beautiful number. I agree that the images have little connection with the song lyics, but they do look nice. So turn up your PC volume, and click the play button ...
Enjoy ...

Loved, love and will always love this song. So nostalgic .... woooo
ReplyDeleteWJ must be thinking of UK in the late 70s.
ReplyDeleteAt the height of his success of playing in the hit TV detective show "Starsky and Hutch", David Soul returned to one of his early career choices as a singer. His debut, the Tony Macaulay written and produced "Don't Give Up on Us" was a worldwide smash, spending 4 weeks at #1 on the UK Singles Chart in Jan and Feb 1977 and one week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1977.
ReplyDeleteok, so Hutch could sing. how about Starsky? what could he do?
ReplyDeleteJimmy, thank you for the upload. I feel quite nostalgic for this song where I(we) grew up with.
ReplyDeleteWas he a one hit wonder? The other was Leo Sayer I think with 'More than I can say'.
Wow..wow..yeah yeah...
My old time favourite is "Goodbye Girl" by David Gates of Bread. Such a soothing voice.
ReplyDeleteGerard, I think David Soul had another hit song called "Silver Lady". His other songs didn't quite make it.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not mistaken, Leo Sayer had quite a few popular songs. Other than the song you mentioned, three others I liked very much were "One Man Band", "When I Need You" and "You make me feel like dancing".
Remember Starsky (Michael Glaser?) acted and sang in the famous musical film "Fiddler on the Roof"?
ReplyDeleteAnyone know the title of the song that has the wording:
ReplyDeleteChanging partner like changing underwear?
Ah, in reply to anon 9.53, the famous lyrics by Bread in Yours for Life.
ReplyDeleteYup, here it goes:
ReplyDeleteIn this day and age where changes happen twice as fast
Sometimes I get wonderin' if anything will last
People changin' partners like they change their
underwear
Maybe I'm old-fashioned but darlin' I still care.
Wonder how many of you, loverboys did that when your testosterone level was at its highest peak...
but underwear hoh, after you wash, you still change back to same one after one round ...
ReplyDeleteEveryone .... name your ALL TIME favourite song. The one you like the MOSTEST .. ha ha

ReplyDeleteLeo Sayer was a busker in London before he got famous.Ladbroke Grove I think.
ReplyDeleteGood friends we have had, oh good friends we've
ReplyDeletelost along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
No woman, no cry

Ya, this boy good voice, but i rather look more at Whitney anytime. hehehe
ReplyDeleteCKP, he is known as 'watermelon head' in Taiwan. ;-)) Anyway, he has a good voice, not bad for a young fella like him.
ReplyDeleteChris, I like Sir Cliff's songs but I guess 'The Young Ones' is my all time fav.
ReplyDeleteThe young ones,
SJS we're the young ones,
And young ones shouldn't be afraid.
To live, love, While the flame is strong,
for we won't be the young ones very long.
Once in every lifetime
comes a friendship like this.
I need you and you need me.
Oh SJS can't you see.
Young dreams
Should be dreamed together,
And the young hearts shouldn't be afraid.
And some day when the years have flown
SJS, then will teach the young ones of our own.
Poetic lyrics, soothing music, stunning images, unashamedly nostalgic - great clip, WJ.
