David I have enjoy watching your series with Michael and whenever I get a chance I still enjoy watching them today.
I never understood the story of the detective work you and Michael performed in the series back in the the late 70,s but I enjoy them now.
The best one I enjoy watching is the Satan Witches / The Set up / The hostage The Fix / The Velvet Jungle and there was one which I cannot remember the name but where you and Michael is playing basketball with the a small black family, a father his son, grandmother and his sister living together but the boy is out in the street with a drugs.
You enjoy boy’s grandmother meat pies and afterwards the boy’s father named Junior is going to work at night gets in a black or some colour Servette car. The car is falling apart gets chased by a police car and in the process the innocent black man gets shot by the cop who is a racist.
The man’s son called Junior later on in the series has found got involved with drugs when you and David try to track him down and help him.
I wish they would still show the series on Telly now but i cannot see that happening.

Please accept my warmest birthday greetings! All the best! I wish I could meet you in person one day. God Bless on your day. Cheers.

Once, in an interview you said that: “Fame was like ice cream. It melts.” Perhaps. But, all these years later, since Starsky & Hutch, you are still in so many hearts. Maybe, you are like ice cream. You melt hearts! Happiest of Birthdays to you. Much love to you always.

Just found your site. Hope your day was as special as you are ^ – ^ !!!

Happy Birthday David. My brother used to play Starsky and I was Hutch. Great days fondly remembered.
Salem’s Lot scared the bejesus out of me.
Love your music and great seeing you on the TV again.
Have a great day.
Best Wishes
David.

Happy birthday David from someone who had a massive crush on you years ago.Your lovely soulful singing voice, handsome face and smiling genial nature made my heart melt. Even saw you once ahead of me in a queue at Safeways Supermarket in Stamford Hill. Did not register that it was you until I saw you that same night on the local news in an interview. Damn it!
Good luck in everything you do and have a fantastic birthday

Happy Birthday to a very very nice guy. Love you David xxx

Happy Birthday David from the Hoosier state! Love the Silver Lady song of course!

Dear David, I’m 18 years old, so I know I seem pretty young to be watching a 70s cop drama, but there you have it. I instantly became a fan about 4 years ago and I have just gotten my 16 year-old brother into the series as well. My next goal is to get him to love your music as much as I do. I hope so much to meet you in person one day.
Have a great birthday. Hope it’s fun and a lasting memory.

-Avery & Miles (Maine)

Wishing you all the joy and happiness you have given to all of us over the years. As a teenager of 14, of course, I was crazy about Starsky and Hutch. I have all 4 seasons in my collection and enjoy watching them from time to time. But the most wonderful gift I have from you is your music. Our family had no television until I was a junior in high school as Mom & Dad encouraged family interaction and creativity. They were right. Our family loves being together and has some amazing memories. Music was a huge part of that, but it took us years to get Dad to perform with his girls. He would sing with us at home and in the car but always ran the board when we girls performed. We finally did get him to join us and now we tease him that can’t shut him up. He loves music so much and he now has a recording studio in his house where we all spend a lot of time together enjoying each other’s talents. This past Christmas we even recorded a Christmas CD of a little 6-year-old girl who calls me Grammy and I loved watching Dad working with her. When I wanted to push, he was patient, goofy, encouraging and playful and brought the best out in her. I recently bought your Looking Back CD and can’t get enough of it. Dad and I listen to it in the car often and he loves Goodbye Gatsby, Beachwood Blues, Simple Man/Waking Up Alone, and Jazzman. He and I are always so blown away by the way we can always hear your heart in your songs. That’s what I want my little 6-year-old songbird to know most of all and there’s nobody she can learn that from more than you. Thanks for sharing your heart with us. Didn’t mean to go on so, but want you to know that you are so appreciated. Your life has been full of giving and still is. God bless you and your family on your special day. Okay, enough mushy — HAVE A HELL OF A BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Dear David,
I know that by now you must really be tired of hearing people praise you for your amazing contribution to the best-loved cops’ TV show of the 70s (and perhaps of all time), but I just wanted to express to you my real and heartfelt debt of gratitude: thanks to the soul and spirit that you and your friend Paul were able to conjure and bring to life for the characters of Starsky and Hutch, as a kid I truly learned a lot from that TV show. It provided me and countless others with an education on how to live and to be a worthy person – what you taught me and at least three more generations of young viewers was so timeless and precious that none of us ever forgot it, and it has recently all come back to me just how important this part of my young years has been in shaping me as a person. I know of many others who feel the same, and this is all thanks to what you have been able to accomplish. As a journalist wrote back in the day, this series may in no small measure have helped to make the world better. It certainly did make my life better, and you and Paul have provided great role models that still resonate for the new generations. I hope someday I’ll be able to say this things to you face to face – I haven’t unfortunately been able to get tickets for the performance on Pablo Neruda’s poetry that you are bringing to the Arts Club in London next September, but I hope there’ll be more chances ahead… Most of all, I wish you the happiest and loveliest birthday ever for your 71st… you have good reasons to be proud, so enjoy the day and remember that we all owe you much.
Sending you all the best,
Benedicta

David- Here’s to wishing you a wonderful birthday!

David, Hope your birthday is filled with love & happiness! May the Lord bless you in the coming year! Missy

Dear Mr. David,
You are a person who makes others happy, you are a person who brings totally different individuals together, through the diverse skills you shared over decades with the world.
You showed through your life what comradeship and care means, in turn that brought me a Best Friend, because a lot of people are drawn to your charisma,
Thank you again for the great entertainment during SurCon and performances on stage, I witnessed in the past and will in the future.
From the bottom of my heart I give you my best wishes and happpiness on y

Hi David! Happy Birthday, dear man!! I hope that it is filled with love and laughter! I consider it a blessing to be your fan! Have a wonderful day! sincerely, Bonnie 🙂

Dear David!

I wish you all the best to your birthday. I come from Vienna and I´m a great fan of you. You are my idol. “Starsky & Hutch” is very important for me.

Have a nice day.

Best wishes
Thomas

Bonne anniversaire cher David!

Unbelievable how many lives you have touched!
It is not a question of films or tv programmes, roles you’ve played or acting ability in my opinion…You are sincere and have a charisma which attracts people to you…that is why you have such true fans…we cannot help but love your inner and, of course, your outer beauty….I looked into a poster of your blue eyes when I was just 13 and felt such humility…windows of the soul, literally!! I put it inside my desk lid and it helped with my exams…never cheated once!
So proud to be able to leave you this message to wish you a very happy day…and each and every single day too! We know you will be surrounded by those you love and who love you and that makes us all feel absolutely delighted! Have a fabulous time!
Love to you from the bottom of my heart
Sandra, France

Hi David,

Happy Birthday!

I hope you spend it doing things you enjoy with people you love.
Thank you for all you have given of yourself over the years.
I never thought I’d ever meet you but I have several times now. You never disappoint.
You are sweet and kind. As much in person as I ever thought you would be.
I was especially sad as I watched you leave Surcon this year because I thought it would be the last time I ever saw you. Soon after I remembered my motto. I learned it from meeting you at the Hollywood Show. It is “Never say never!”.
Now I have hope that I will see you again. I am looking forward to it.
Happy Birthday!
Much love,
~Robin

Happy Birthday, David! Wishing you the most special of birthdays and all of the joy and happiness that one year can hold. You’ve been a big part of my life, via both acting and music, for a long time. Thank you for sharing your many gifts. Just hearing your name makes me smile!!!

Happy Birthday David
WOW !!!! 71 and still super sexy. A lady doctor in a Starsky and Hutch episode described it perfectly… that special Soul-something… “it’s that vulnerable upper lip that does it !” That and so much more! Thank you for making my teenage years so exciting and romantic in equal measure with the sensitivity you imbued Hutch with. Thank you too for the dreamiest records of the seventies…such a velvet voice. Then more twists and turns of delight and revelation from Salem’s Lot through Jerry Springer and beyond. Truly a career to be proud of. You lit up my world and still do. I hope this Birthday is as sparkly for you as you have made me feel over the years. I wish you many, many Happy Returns. Lots of Love Lynne XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Happy birthday…simply the best at all you have done. Enjoy your day x

Happy Birthday David-Love and enjoy everything you do!

Dear David,

I wanted to wish you the happiest of birthdays this year. You made 2014 so very memorable for me! I got a last-minute chance to sit at your dinner table for SurCon2014 – what a blessing! I was seated just one place-setting away from you (to your right). It was a dream come true! I have been a fan since your days in HERE COME THE BRIDES…..You will probably snicker at this but when I was about nine years old I placed an entry in my first diary about you….”I really love Joshua Bolt”…Ha! …I know it’s cute looking back, but you were really a great bright spot in my life back then….my home life was not much fun…my dad was an alcoholic and tough to deal with….but he did take the time to bring me to NYC to your concert at Radio City back when I was about 14 years old….he was always really strict with me, but even let me run down to the edge of the stage to get close to you that day….it was like a dream!! I remember those moments like it was yesterday!! You inspired me to follow my own performance dreams….and I went on to attend New England Conservatory of Music (I graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance degree)….I have been involved in theatre for years since and we review theatre in the Philly area (and as far north as NYC). I still have the sheet music for “Don’t Give Up On Us”….you have no idea how you influenced me in such a positive way….thank you so much for that! God blessed me by allowing me to be seated at your table this year….to see and speak with you in person! What an amazing gift! I have been keeping you in prayer….asking the Lord to heal your body…and to let your spirit sing with joy for the rest of your days here on Earth!

I send you all of my love….sincerely from my heart….Bless you, dear David, on this, the celebration of your birth…(I named my own son, David…in your honor!)

You have brought joy to so many people….most especially to me….and I thank you sincerely for that….

God Bless you now and always…

Sincerely,

Patricia Bradford

Dear David,

Happy Birthday to you. I hope you and your family have a wonderful day.

With lovely and best wishes, Moni

Wishing you a day full of happiness and joy, hoping you are surrounded by your loved ones, on this your 71st birthday. Thank you for all the wonderful years of enjoyment your remarkable talent has given to all of us! I am glad you have been able to triumph over “your demons” and have been able to create such a happy and successful life for yourself.

Please come to NYC and do theater! (Love Letters is about to return to Broadway with a rotating cast).

Happiest of Birthday Wishes, to you, David! You are still so gorgeous! Enjoy the time with family.

Dear David,

Have a wonderful 71st birthday! I Wish you the very best on this special day.
Thank you for the many smiles with those beautiful blue eyes.
God Bless.
All my love.

Just want to say Happy Birthday! And I hope you have a nice day with your loved ones! Greetings from The Netherlands

Happy 71st birthday! Wait a minute….you can’t be 71 because that would make me 50+ !!!
Seriously, thank you for your gift and the memories you have instilled in me! 🙂

Carissimo David buonasera . Sono un fan tuo e di Paul da sempre . Desidero inviarti i miei più cari e sentiti auguri di buon compleanno augurandoti 1000 di questi giorni e augurando a me stesso di poter incontrare di persona te e Paul un giorno in Italia . Un abbraccio …Andrea .

Joyeux anniversaire David from France (Brittany). Strange, just today I thought about you wanting to know what’s happening for you at this time and find this “David Soul Fans” ! and more than this just the day of your birthday ! So I just want to thank you very much for all the pleasure we have had looking at all the seasons of “Starsky and Hutch”. Have a very nice day ! (sorry for my english) Marie Christine.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID !!

Hello David!
Happy Birthday!!!

You have been a big part of my life and ….you are
I love you
Did you like my letters???
Kiss

Happy Birthday, dear Mr. Soul… David. I hope that your day was spent with those you love and enjoy. What better gift could we really wish for someone? It is clear from the numerous diverse messages and memories posted here that you have impacted lives in more ways than you could possibly imagine, with these hundreds who have chosen to share, no doubt, representing hundreds, even thousands more. Birthdays are inevitably a time of reflection. We all begin to look at numbers that once seemed so distant. But that’s all they are – numbers, that don’t warrant your energy or focus. Your health, relationships with family and friends, and your current and future opportunities to share your many wonderful talents and insights – these warrant your valuable attention and introspection. And if we strangers, fans, friends-you-haven’t –met have a moment in your birthday reflection, then I hope that our love, appreciation, and support bring you a smile as you have done and continue to do for so very many of us.

I hope you have a very Happy Birthday, David, and many happy years to come.

Happy birthday. I wish you a lovely time for yesterday and many more. I come to london sometimes but never see you. Wishful thinking. Lol.
Thanks for being hutch . A fan of more than 30yrs.

Happy belated birthday David hope you had a lovely day xx love the new commercial

Happy birthday and many more. I just came across this site. I remembered you from the movie Little ladies of the Night and really liked it. Loved Linda Purl too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE!! WE LOVE YOU!!

Acabo the ver una pelicula suya por amazon prime y me fascino’. Feliz cumpleanos y que Dios le siga dando de su amor.

David: Belated Happy Birthday. We have something in common. Our sons were teammates at OWU. (You sat in front of me at homecoming game) I hope that you are well.

David, I am glad you had a good birthday and that so many people left comments. I saw your new commercial. EXCELLENT!!!!!!! I wish we could see it here in the states. I saw it online. I also recently purchased Picturing David Soul. The book is remarkable. Very well put together and includes pictures from your entire life and career. Bravo, to everyone who had a hand in putting it all together. If any of you reading this comment have not yet purchased a copy, I highly recommend that you take the opportunity to do so. The money goes for a wonderful cause. Thank you David, for continuing to share your life with the people who love and care about you and have for all these years. You are still as remarkable and awesome as you have been in the past. You never cease to continue to amaze me with your talent. I hope that you will come back to the states soon again somewhere near Chicago, so that I may get another chance to meet you. I saw you in Brixton during the run of The Dead Monkey. And in New Jersey a year after. If I don’t get to meet you again, I consider myself blessed to have gottten to see you perform live at least twice. Keep on truckin’. Love and prayers go out to you always. Sandi Lawson, Indiana

Happy belated birthday, David. May the rest of your journey be gentle and your dearest dreams come true. Thank you for gracing the world with your many talents and very good looks. I loved/love Starsky & Hutch. Recently here they play the show at 9:00 and I tell everyone not to call me till the show is over. I feel like I did watching it back in the day when I was a girl of 24. Haha! Peace and blessings to you and God bless. Best, Francy, Boca Raton, Florida
