David Soul 2024... Forever!😢❤💫🙏
Ìm writing this 5th January and David has just passed away....heartbreaking news I'm sickened by it... God bless you David you were amazing ❤ x
Janet I cannot brace myself to watch the recording of the show when it was shown on tv a couple of years ago, I am so broken hearted too.
Very very sad news. I met him twice in my life. He was a very ordinary friendly chap. Very upset by this.
@@conradheidibless you, he was so lovely.... still don't know how he passed...xx
@@Jason.King.at.your.serviceyour so lucky to have met him, I only got to see him live in mack & Mable.... x
Saddened by the passing of a great actor David Soul he was so good and so talented sending condolences to his family Rest in Peace. He will be remembered for being Hutch in the TV show Starkey & Hutch
RIP david you will be dearly missed as an actor and human being condolences to all the family 🙏🏽
By far the best cop show ever, I have watched every episode of every season back in the day, and still on my DVD box set with my kids..I always thought that jump in the opening credits must of hurt, he landed hard!!!! and now you confirmed it…I feel bad for David Soul, always wishing him all the best!..a true legend and musical talent💯👍
Same here!
I loved it too, the other cop show i loved too was Hunter.
That and Rockford File's. But technically Rockford doesn't count as he was a P.I.
David Soul's infamous jump in that pilot episode of S&H was an iconic part of the show, it still looks good even by today's standards.
Despite that I wouldn't recommend anyone ever attempts anything like that, as we can see the consequences can be life changing.
You are so right, the first time I saw that jump in the opening credits, I was, "WOW!" He looked pretty cool doing that awesome seat drop. Who would ever have guessed that little move would cause him decades of misery.
In an interview, he said that did not start his back pain. He always had back pain. But it didn't help any either. The interview was from a few years ago.
I agree - by far, the best cop show - yes, we planned our week around our shows as VCRs et al were not an option. Through the years I knew he had physical challenges and always felt that he faced them with grace, determination and that awesome "soul" he is known for. I wish he had remained healthy to give us more of that gorgeous voice - very distinct and beautiful. thanks for all David!
Well said ..he is always loved ..Great human and beautiful voice xx
Just watched the pilot movie on the toob and was actually impressed with it. Good story, good pacing, good acting (especially by Soul), and when the jump happened, I thought to myself, "Man, that looked cool, I guess the roof had enough give to it to not hurt him."
Then I came across this video. Ouch.
I still watch it
Everyday
Rip David
RIP David Soul died in London.
I always thought when he jumped on that car roof man that's gotta hurt
More than we knew!
It made my back hurt.
So horribly sad what David went through with his back injury back in the 70's. I am still mourning the loss of this beautiful man. RIP beautiful David Soul.❤😢.2024
I've watched starsky and Hutch, and he didn't do all his own stunts . But he certainly ran and jumped about a lot ! But that car jump in the opening credits looked like it hurt.
I have this on DVD I've always loved this show and consider it to be the best cop show ever it was definitely the best cop show of the3 70s these guys were as close as you could possibly be without being gay for each other there chemistry the would do anything for each other and there woman it really saddens me that he has passed away i feel like a part of m childhood has been ripped away from me he will always be remembered RIP in Heaven David Soul aka Ken Hutchinson
Loved the series; hated the re-casted, remake movie.
Except for the cameo
Oh gosh that movie was awful. They were on at the very end. Maybe 3 or 4 lines they deserved so much more
@@SusanMiller-ku7dp David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser should have stayed home. Better yet, the movie version should have been scrapped. But as pundits have complained for decades, the major studios have exhausted the limited supply of 'original' ideas. Like "Charlie's Angels"'s two off-shoots, "Starsky & Hutch" [with ampersand like the series instead of 'and' that the show only used its first season] -- to use a '70s expression -- "gag me with a spoon."
"The Addams Family" and "The Brady Bunch" squeaked by; were tolerable.
While it's impossible to deny Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible" franchise's enormous success, short of Lalo Schifrin's rousing, iconic, main title score it's nearly impossible to note any connection to the original CBS series running seven years.* The camaraderie of the Impossible Missions Force (IMF) we came to know and love from our DVD sets of the 1966 - 73 run or the f/x channel's multiple runs is TOTALLY lacking in the tentpole-budgeted, nearly one-member 'team' thrilling escapades consisting of . . . Cruise. For the scheptics who only know the movies, have a look at any two episodes from each of the seasons and you'll be treated to a whole new world.
*Starved for original programming during the 1988 Writers Guild Strike, Paramount Television dusted off old "M: I" scripts and its star Peter Graves and launched a remake with a new ensemble cast that filmed in Australia for a new network home, ABC, running 1988 - 1990.
"Thank you, 'I Did Not Know That.'"
David Soul, has died. RIP Hutch.
I remember back in the day when David Soul was on either the Mike Douglas or Merv Griffin show and they asked Mr. Soul about that stunt. Who knew that this would really hurt him. It was a hard landing!
Starsky and Hutch was my most favorite series, growing up. My mother, siblings and I gathered around the TV religiously when the show is on… never missed an episode. I love them both, but David Soul was my favorite. I even bought his record “ Don’t Give Up On Us Baby”. I remember every word of that song, up to today. I still sing it. I’m saddened to hear of his death. May he rest in peace.
Even as a kid, watching that jump several times, i said to myself "man, that jump over the top of the car must have hurt bad!"
The fact the David Soul smoked 3-4 packs a day for more than 40 years also added to the aging process, and why he looks so much older than PMG.
David soul had also battled alcoholism earlier in his career.
I have always wondered about the jump and him hitting that car like that so this is not surprising
In my opinion, David is a big star. For his exceptional acting where he really makes it look real like on Starsky & Hutch the fix. He also had more than one hit song. Don’t give up on us baby plus all the other songs. I love the show and have all the DVD’s plus all David’s songs.
In fact , he should have been a bigger star. He made mistakes, no doubt. His jump on car or from reading of that one project that made him spend too much money to drinking. But, like his best friend said ( Paul Michael Glaser) David was trying to find himself. We all do per Paul.
I’m happy for him him now. Let the past go. We can’t change it, only learn from it. He’s happily married and loves his children and I’m sure grandchildren. David is doing different things. He’s very active. That’s my opinion any way.
David passed in January 2024. He had very many ailments. I wish he was still here but not hurting. Love you n miss you Mr Soul man
Really well said I agree...will always still love him ...we learn from our pasts xx❤
What you just reveal is so sad about poor love David Soul did not know that . I hope everyone seen David’s New Years message he looks great sounds fabulous but I feel his pain especially back it seems that is the one thing once you get pass a certain age it happens to the best of US , I thinking you for shearing that information about Handsome Hutchison David Soul still a real great person it seems to be to me big fan
I had no idea either until I stumbled on his statement about ruining his back on that jump. Yes, I think many can identify with not being able to do the things we used to do when we were in our 20s!
Hi! Excellent video. I'm glad that the two are still together and sharing in great tv memories! S&H was an excellent show!
Yes it was!
David passed away on the 5th of Jan. So upsetting it still hurts me today. I loved my soul man ! ❤😢
The hard jump on the top destroyed Davis back and hip,very sad for him
Enjoyed this series but enjoyed *Here Come the Brides* a whole lot more!
As someone who has battled severe lower back problems over the last 15 years, including two back surgeries, I can relate. That car jump was a big mistake.
Yep I know he made a mistake, but he said he changed his mind right before the jumped off the platform, where was the stuntman, but most of us guys in our teens, 20's and early 30's think were superman, I'm not gonna criticize him for the jump, I've hurt my back weightlifting stupid weights and doing crazy exercises to injure my groin, I'm only 64 but thankfully I can still play golf, lift light weights and walk at a good pace 3 miles every 3 days.
I've also had two fusions. Neck and back😢
I've met David at speakers corner hyde park london 2002. (He was a heavy smoker)
I had to sneak to watch them. I had the 45 before I was allowed to watch the show. Loved them both. i hope they got all the residuals...they made that show what it was.
I’ve seen David Soul in a pub in London near where he lives a few times
Cool!
Have you ever approached him?
The side characters on that show made it really interesting. The fight scenes? Not so much, "wounded" Hutch or not.
Dav-p0
`Davids choice to land on his bottom rather than his feet was impressive , but jst a shame that it has given him serious trouble back pain and discomfort all his life I for one am grateful to him that he did something selfless for the benefit of TV RIP david you are sorely missed
Repercussions we might face every step of our lives ... don't ever make a split, or otherwise, decision based on ego. It is not the self and it is never interested in your best interest as the core of self is.. Ego can get you killed. Everything in life is lessons or rewards and good or bad, nothing is ever free. The self is that inner voice/gut feeling that says, "I don't know, maybe I shouldn't do this," while Ego says, "Naw, it'll be great." Observe and learn from others' actions or it's immersion for you.
Wow...i never knew that this had happend :-(
I remember that opening scene watching it when I was younger I remember reading somewhere it was done by a stuntman not to say that David didn’t do his stunts in Starsky and Hutch, but that particular stunt he didn’t do
I liked him in the film In the Line of Duty: The F.B.I. Murders
Didn't David soul say that he starred after starsky and hutch with Salem's lot
Seeing Starsky & Hutch in the wrestling ring, they would have made a great tag team and be inducted into The WWE Hall Of Fame, lol.
So so sad 😞
I understand her wanting to watch because i cried at 9 yrs old when i had to bath at 9 pm friday when s+h came on.
That sucks for David in regards to the injury. It would have been cooler and less painful sliding down and across the top of the car Bo and Luke Duke style instead of landing on top of it like that.
Ben Stiller did an amazing job in the spoof.
Oh please
NO, NO! He was a hevy smokar.
So, if this jump on S&H caused him so much pain, how was he able to roll off the hood of a car onto the ground in the movie The FBI Murders?
If I recall, he also messed it up more by skiing. I think when you're young, you feel invincible and that it'll all heal up given time. Sometimes you get worse.
I remember that movie and particular scene too! Wow, that roll and drop probably caused a lot of pain on top of what he’d already suffered. That shoot out scene was brutal! 😮

Lifes little ironies. As i understand it Soul dodged the draft, only, like so many of his country men to end up severly handicapped. But were is the dignity in saying, "Yeh, i was wounded shooting a scene.
he was in a wheel chair as he'd had an operation
Edberg? Referred? Wife's lovrt
1:17 - 0:24 "Starsky and Hutch' was maybe the most popular TV police show of the 1970s." NOT.
"Hawaii Five-0" ran THREE TIMES as long, 12 seasons vs. "S&H"'s four.
Also giving "Starsky and Hutch" a 'run for its money' -- "Ironside," "The Streets of San Francisco," "Columbo." THIS competition among these four has great potential for spirited -- and let's hope, legitimate -- 'back-and-forth' arguments and proposals with pundits and fans. But, "Five-0" is undeniably 'the 800-pound gorilla.'
Thank you, 'I Did Not Know That.'
I get what your saying, those other shows certainly had more longevity and endurance. Starsky and Hutch were more like lightning in a bottle that really caught on with the younger audience. How many of the other shows appeared on lunch boxes or had action figures made from them? But I think the other programs held up better over time. I hadn't seen S & H for about 20 years and excitedly caught an episode - I was disappointed because the show had became very dated.
Why didn't he have a stunt double do the jump?
In hindsight I'm sure he wished he had. But when you're young you feel like you can do anything.
2:28 - "Cars in the 1970s were made out of hard steel". Doesn't look that hard, judging by the massive dent in the roof. Looks like what would happen with a 2000s car, actually. Just as well - he would have been a paraplegic if it didn't give. And wouldn't landing very hard on your feet also give you bad hips?
David was young and gung ho and trying to help the show, im surprised starsky wanted out before his 2nd year, couldn't of been that bad Paul, and since paul left the show he's only had a few producer jobs, David i would of probably done the same thing when i was 28 and felt like superman, praying you feel better, Huggy Bear had early 70's roles in Pam Grier Coffey and Cleopatra Jones with Tamera Dobson
That’s what stunt doubles are for - pride before a fall. Mind you, Tom Cruise has some balls for doing his own.
Yeah, I can't believe the stunts that guy has done, they are terrifying.
Was it Greg Williams who called your girlfriend for a date?
🤣
Yeah and he ended up marrying Tiffani Amber Theissen. Lol
stop using gerbils - richard gere
I have a different memory, unfortunately, why David So went bye bye. I was young but it was something to do with domestic abuse. Him being the culprit...? I figured Hollywood didn't think he was big enough to spin a yard for. I was too young tho for David Soul's album which did carry a hit I think
Some people have worked all their lives for living!!!! actors moaning on, ffs
As a woman, I thought all those cop shows were very sexist and demeaning to women. Not a fan!
Good riddance to you Karen ..... No one cares about your opinion anyway 😁
😂
It's not the fault of the shows, they just reflected the times. You have to watch almost everything, made in that era, with that in mind. They'll do the same with things made today, 40 years from now.
never liked the show
