Don’t GiveUp On Us – The Song

Don’t Give Up On Us is a song by American-British singer David Soul. Riding high on the success of his role in the hit TV show Starsky and Hutch, Soul returned to singing, which had been one of his early career choices. His debut, the Tony Macaulay-written-and-produced “Don’t Give Up on Us” was a worldwide smash, spending four weeks at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in January and February 1977. It has sold 1.16 million copies in the UK. Its B-side, “Black Bean Soup”, with lyrics by actor Gardner McKay, is a duet with actress Lynne Marta, whom Soul was involved with at the time.

The Heart – The Shape

Modelled into a heart. The heart shape and its meaning has evolved over hundreds of years. Nowadays it means love but before the 13th and 14th centuries it was generally drawn for decorative purposes. People at that time thought of our hearts as books of memory and believed feelings for the beloved were somehow written on your heart.

Starsky & Hutch is an American action television series, which consisted of a 72-minute pilot movie and 92 episodes of 50 minutes each. The show was created by William Blinn (inspired by the success of the then recent movie Busting), produced by Spelling-Goldberg Productions and starred Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul in the title roles, Starsky and Hutch. It was broadcast from April 1975 (pilot movie) to August 1979 on the ABC network. Starsky & Hutch was distributed by Columbia Pictures Television in the United States and, originally, Metromedia Producers Corporation and later on 20th Television in Canada and some other parts of the world. Sony Pictures Television is now the worldwide distributor for the series. The series later inspired a 2003 video game and a 2004 theatrical film.
