HIS VOICE LIVES ON (as promised).
“I was Hutch; he was the other guy.” Any place/one else on social media claiming to be ME is an imposter. You’ve been warned.
From Team Soul: “We’ve been asked by some of David’s fans why we post his ‘politics’ to this feed. For the record, these posts represent David’s values and convictions, the core of his beliefs, and they are presented here in his own words. Neither he nor we will reduce them to
David Soul—beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother—died yesterday after a valiant battle for life in the loving company of family. He shared many extraordinary gifts in the world as actor, singer, storyteller, creative artist and dear friend. His smile, laughter and
Every article mentions the ‘original’ actors by name. So why not just reboot Paul and me—as a couple of old farts solving piddly-ass crimes at the assisted living facility where we would now live? Who can do Starsky and Hutch better than him and me?
I have never been more touched, and not because of the overflowing good wishes on what was, admittedly, a milestone birthday, coming at me from every corner of the globe (online and elsewhere), but because of the impressive list of charities so many of you donated to in my name.
Today marks 45 years since Starsky & Hutch first aired, but more importantly, it also marks the beginning of a lifelong journey with my dear, dear friend and co-conspirator, Paul Glaser. Thanks buddy! Lots of love, David.
Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year to you and yours!
Warner Bros. decided that Christmas would be the perfect time to release its version of how to keep peace in the world: MAGNUM FORCE premiered on this day 50 years ago. Peace, in the form of curbstone justice. I’m not sure
1/2 “He’s Starsky. I’m Hutch.” Paul Glaser & I are proud to have given life and longevity to STARSKY & HUTCH, a TV series that ran for 4 years but over the past 4 decades has become an international ‘brand’ that continues to be enjoyed ’round the globe. It appears FOX is planning
I am a supporter of the Jewish people who have suffered deeply over the centuries and I am no fan of Hamas or any terror group, believe me. I am, however, pro the people of Palestine who have, since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, been kicked around and out of their
2/2 to re-imagine the original series with two women in the S&H roles. We’re just letting FOX know that we’re still around and happy to help pass the torch—if they’ll have us. It would certainly add credibility to the series and our legion of fans would applaud!

Right on! Let’s say it over and over.
“A friend to me has no race, no class, and belongs to no minority. My friendships are formed out of affection, mutual respect, and a feeling of having something in common. These are eternal values that cannot be classified.” -Frank Sinatra
Whatever your faith (or not), this remains true: ‘All the darkness in the world can’t put out the light from a single candle.’ For the homeless, the people of Ukraine, those without, light a candle. Merry Christmas. Thank you for the light you continue to shine into my life, too.
It’s a dirty job to have to promote my ass, but my Team won’t take ‘hell no!’ for an answer, so here I am. Thank you for all the YT views and the wonderful comments. I’ve got the best fans in the world: sticking with me all these many years/decades.
Jerry Springer was, as someone in Rolling Stone called him, the “Patron Saint of American Dysfunction.” Well, maybe so, but I was honored to play the man on the London stage in the Olivier Awards winning musical, ‘Jerry Springer the Opera,’ which also received 60,000 complaints
And my buddy replies: “Me and Thee and all that worked with us, played with us, followed and stayed with us. We were very fortunate to have each other. So thanks and Godspeed in these difficult times. PMG.”
What horror, once again, as this senseless carnage continues against innocent people. And the fact that this scourge of unbridled gun violence is so close to people we love makes the horror and helplessness of what to do, how to stop it, even more real. Is there no safe place in
Well, kids, after a difficult year and lots to do in the next one to make the world a better place than the way we found (and find) it, I wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Be safe. Stay sane. And I’ll do likewise. We can’t do this thing called peace and happiness without each other.
I thought I might find some friends here today. Having a great birthday, in part, thanks to all these birthday wishes. 57 years ago today, I was in the crowd when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech. I hope you’re there in spirit today. I know I am. Thank you!
Well, Paul and I just got off the phone, so there’s that. He is and will always be my best friend, my brother. Still, I think for myself, and before you judge me, take a look at the history. And, finally, whether it’s 1,400 innocents at a party or 10,000 fathers, mothers, and

Hey gang! I’m coming up for air. Been busy—releasing a 3CD box set (44 tracks). For you vinyl enthusiasts, there’s a 14-track single LP version pressed on gold coloured heavyweight vinyl. Where to buy it:
See? I’m not dead yet & I’ve got more to come.
The beauty in still being alive is to thank you all (again) for the lovely cards, gifts, donations, pictures, etc., I got for my birthday. I’ve officially and finally read through them all. ‘Thank you’ is too cheap a reply. The older I get, the more I’m indebted. Happy Labor Day!
To all my lovely followers: a simple, but humble Happy Valentine’s Day wish! I also wish you a Happy Frederick Douglass birthday! Let us not forget the human spirit on a day filled with so much love. Be safe!
To everyone who believed in my aliveness and wished me a happy birthday, thank you—so much—for all the cards and emails! Every year, I’m overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness. But to the self-serving asshole who posted that YT video: these made-up stories hurt people. Stop already!!
Forgive my absence. Family, festivities, and sometimes just forgetfulness. In the middle of that, we’re still working on our project which we hope to debut New Year’s Day, and I still wish you all a warm December. I’ll be in better touch after the holidays with a check-in before.
We almost made our deadline (I can’t complain because I’m only the mastermind behind it, not the production dept), but I still get to be the messenger: Alas, our new project will debut in a couple of days, not today. In the meantime, however, HAPPY NEW YEAR and peace to EVERYONE!
1/1 Are you serious?! Mushrooms?!! Mothers and fathers and their children are dying in Ukraine, Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, and at our border from governmental criminal acts, and you, the press, are focusing on MUSHROOMS?! What’s wrong with you?
Hi all. I should know better than to be gone so long; more of you to answer! So all I can say is thanks for the birthday wishes (here and elsewhere). I'm just so happy I made it to the Big Seven-Five. But I'm still younger than HE is!!
Dear everyone. It's been a VERY tough summer. Touch and go at times. But now it's going to be a great Christmas and even better New Year. I simply can't thank you all enough for burning the candle for me these past five months. A warm Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!
Thank you to everyone who honored my wishes not to turn Paul’s event into our event when it was clearly his event. It was much appreciated (and thank you, Team, for keeping the secret). It was an added treat for me to just be there for him and to be grateful to still have us.
What better way to self-isolate than with music, no? Let's all be CARE-ful out there, but don't panic, and—in the meantime—enjoy some of my tunes. Big virtual hug to everyone.
A really nice in-depth review from
@CrimeReads
regarding UNSUB (which I believe you can watch on our web site). Thank you, Keith, for remembering this hidden gem. I agree: it was a series before its time—and one I am quite proud to have been a part of.

DAVID SOUL: FROM HIS OWN HANDS
We remember David on this, his 81st birthday, and the gifts he gave to so many, including the little ones he wasn’t even aware of. ♥️
Ray Liotta. I’m really shocked and heartbroken. Such a lovely man… talented, kind, interested, childlike in many ways. I enjoyed him so much in our short time together in CASABLANCA before he broke into the world of film. 1/2

@realDonaldTrump
I’m 77. I grew up with you and your battles with Merv Griffin. I knew your ex-wife Ivana rather well, and I gotta tell ya… I have never known a more childish 74-year-old man in my entire life. If it don’t happen for you, it don’t happen! Isn’t that right?
With the passing of songwriter Geoff Stephens, we lost a ‘songwriter’s songwriter’ who laid the groundwork for so many who followed. He wrote hits for so many artists and I was lucky enough to be one of them. He gave me my SILVER LADY! Thank you, Geoff. Rest in Peace.
Merry Christmas, everyone. I missed being on the radio Sunday, but it occurred to me (again) to be in touch with you here, albeit late. I hope you all had a warm and love-filled Christmas Eve, and that this morning and the rest of today will follow suit. It's that time of year!
I know it's early, but I'm not going to be able to do this tomorrow, so HAPPY EARLY VALENTINE'S DAY to all of you lovely people today! I feel your ❤️s. Thank you for the unending love and support! And I hope to see you this spring (and summer). Cheerio!
Dear ones: I have tried so hard to forget my birthday, but you all keep reminding me of it! Ah, but after all is said and done, THANK YOU for the wishes, the gifts & the cards. It's such a lovely thing to do. Lots of love. P.S.: Next year, altho a challenge, please try to forget!
Thank you everybody who’s working on my behalf to have this imposter canceled (DavidRSoul1). The assh*le has blocked me so I can’t even give them a piece of my mind, so I appreciate the piece of mind you’re all giving for me. In the meantime I still wait for Twitter to verify me.
Reading through all your comments, I realize two things: 1) that it would take me forever to answer everyone, so I apologize for not doing that. I simply haven't got the time. And 2) how much I truly appreciate all of you in return.
Hi all. Things are still very slow around here, so I haven't got much to say except to thank everyone again for the overwhelming support. I am EXTREMELY grateful. In some ways, I feel like Rip Van Winkle waking up after a long sleep — to find a beautiful world (overall) awaits.
What is wrong with these so-called ‘tolerant’ people at a Museum beating each other up? Let’s check out the Museum exhibits, shall we? There have never been an oppressed people that, when pushed far enough, haven’t turned on their oppressors to exact retribution—to fight for
So, it turns out I do have some things to say about Salem’s Lot. I’ve passed my thoughts on to Laura via video who is going to try to get them online this afternoon/evening, but it may not be until I’ve gone to bed. That’s assuming, of course, I can sleep after watching it again.
One by one, the champions of rights and justice that I grew up are leaving us. Their legacy, their example, their commitment as representative of the best of who we as a people can be, like Sidney Poitier did, a true champion, reminds us, in his death, that the fight is not over,
This just in from Twitter: “Thanks for sending us your report. We reviewed the account and removed it for violating our rules.” So again, thank you EVERYBODY (you know who you are) who waged a campaign on my behalf. I’ve got the best fans in all the world. You’ve all got my back.
2/2 Meghan & Harry and political name-calling & Greene & Boebert (and we could go on and on). Have you guys lost the plot? Does anyone understand COMMONSENSE anymore? People are hurting. Can’t you see and report? Challenge these brain-dead manipulators, for God’s sake.
Yep, it looks like the Team has geared me (and my pal) up for some serious signature-writing. Thank you everybody for your love and support. It means a lot to me (and the other guy).
Imagine. All these decades later and we’re still in this love affair.
Laura says you can see it here now:
You can leave comments, too, but please be nice. I’m a sensitive, um, soul.
Happy 42nd Birthday, Salem’s Lot! And a forever-indebted and heartfelt thank you to
@StephenKing
for making it all possible.
David Soul, all around good guy, but always late to the party. (Better late than never, right?) Here’s the link I was supposed to send this morning. Thank you to
@TeamDavidSoul
for being on it, especially when I’m not. And a very Merry Christmas to you!
I'm sorry, folks, about my radio absence. No, I'm not sick. Just a case of irreconcilable differences regarding the definition of professionalism with Boogaloo Radio. But my boy Hugh and I will do our own thing, our way. Stay tuned to yours truly (assuming I'm still truly yours).
Oh boy! So many more have come in since I posted a few minutes ago. Truly, thank you EVERYONE. I’m enjoying reading your sentiments—and all of them directed at me!
In these trying times, your outpouring of love is all the more appreciated. I won’t make light of it.
It's been a while since I've checked in, so hallo! Had a great time in NJ. Hope you all did too. Still can't believe the fanfare. Now it's on to NOLA next month. Working on some surprises. Nuthin' more to say than that, except thank you all, hugs, and bye-bye! Till next time.
As Trump “infests" El Paso, now is the perfect time to re-use the words he used against the “Squad” … “Go back where you came from!” … but, before you leave, pay the $500,000 you owe us for your last visit. I am so tired of this hateful man. Please someone save us.
Happy New Year all! A friendly reminder from Yours Truly to tune in to our show tomorrow (Sunday) on at 1 pm London time (with sincere apologies to those of you who have to get up at 5 a.m. in the USA to do so, but I thank you oh so much). Let's rock 2019!
Hi everyone. It’s been brought to my attention that this account is pretending to be me and following some of you. It’s not me (I’m still waiting for Twitter to give me the checkmark). In the meantime, please join me in reporting this account:
@DavidRsoull
Thank you!
Eye Candy here, letting you know the Production Dept. has completed its deadline—days after it passed (my return poke in the ribs). But, seriously, they’ve done a magnificent job turning an idea into reality. Ball’s now in my court—to fill it with stuff.
@paul_m_glaser
You won the wheelchair race last year, you old fart, and I got a free ride. Press was onto it. They called it the “deathbed reunion”! Weird. How ’bout we use your chair this year? The red one with the white tape?

Thank you to all my GOLD customers who made this fundraiser a success, and my forever gratitude to my dear and special friend, Laura, without whom I could not get anything done. We’re now working on something bigger. Along with you, we make quite a team; let’s change this world.
1/3 Where have I been lately? Attending a funeral, unfortunately. And preparing to yet again relocate. My Team also asked me to let everyone know (before rumours abound) that I very recently had a run-in with the virus. Perhaps Omicron-2 is not as dangerous as the earlier strains
Now available from
@WordTheatre
: “David Soul [uh…that would be me] performs Tobias Wolff’s ‘Bullet in the Brain’ as part of its Short Story Podcast Series (Eps 116).” Prev. recorded—like a lot of my stuff, but this one isn’t 50 yrs old, so there’s that.
3/3 let’s keep our eyes and ears focused on what we can do to help our Ukrainian brothers and sisters and the millions of refugees who have had to flee their homeland in the wake of Putin’s devastation and his crimes against humanity.
Well, as usual I've been gone too long to answer hundreds of tweets, so a big fat THANK YOU! out to EVERYONE will have to suffice. Gearing up now to spend a weekend at the London Comic Con in a few weeks. Who's with me? Somebody's gotta keep me from giving HIM all my attention!
5/6 But you lost your throne, didn’t you, Donny Boy? You’re a loser!! There were 500 kings, prime ministers, and presidents from around the world present at the Queen’s funeral to pay their respects to a leader who personified dignity and faithfulness to duty and ...
Hey. Check me out at the below. I’m gonna make myself heard more this month. It’s a new era!
And here:
And more to come to these places (and others) if I get my way.
So, as we say in the business: stay tuned.
So true. No more ‘Cheers’ or ‘Murder She Wrote’ or ’Starsky & Hutch’ … etc. Nothing to unify or share experience as we pull further and further away from each other.
4/4 of this great country. Yeah, Mr. Oligarch, I have never known anyone more selfish or arrogant than … yes, a total narcissist… DONALD TRUMP. Do you not feel any guilt … any shame?!
Shame on you.
During our time, I always felt he was totally underused. Still, he was always there and prepared to offer everything asked of him. So alive! Such a gent! Such a loss. I’m so sad. 2/2
Thank you all so much for the kind words, including those we received through the web site and elsewhere, for a show that even I felt was quite magical. I miss acting and loved the opportunity to participate. I’m looking forward to getting these virtual events down to a science!
4/4 I ask us all to support the wonderful work he and his extended family have created at the Ed Asner Family Center
@EdAsnerCenter
.
Ed was my friend and, like so many of us, I will miss him. But beyond that, I hope I have the clarity and the strength to emulate his example.
Sorry about that last tweet; I wasn't supposed to send it until Sunday morning (if I can now remember to do that). I get so excited about things, ya know? But just the same, this holds true: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
@paul_m_glaser
A birthday party for an 80 year-old fart… Whew! Must’ve cleared the room.
From across the pond and a long way away, sending you an air-freshened HAPPY BIRTHDAY and lots of love to my dear, much older friend!!!

We reached our fundraising goal last night! Wow! I simply can’t thank all of you enough who donated to our film, AMERICA. Laura will be posting it to the Internet today as soon as she polishes its final touches, California time. What a journey this has been for us.
5 days. VOTE!
I really enjoyed reading all the comments to this post I made some days ago. Of course, I wasn’t out to get the strokes (just to concur with the writer’s views on the so-called evolution of television)! But thank you. I am very proud of the work Paul and I did. I always will be.
So true. No more ‘Cheers’ or ‘Murder She Wrote’ or ’Starsky & Hutch’ … etc. Nothing to unify or share experience as we pull further and further away from each other.
Hey all. My boss is on my case (again) to share this with you cuz I’m late doing it. She forgets I’m gonna be 75 this year and the ol’ brain ain’t what it used to be. I need to be treated delicately ha ha Ha.
And then check me out here: It's true. "I’m always looking ahead; still have passion, heart. Still have energy; still want to do things. What else is there?" I'll see you all on the radio tomorrow! (I hope)
2/3 but it is very contagious and does put you down. I’ve had the initial two injections and the booster, but it still got me. I’m back to normal now, but please take care; look after each other and then …
