Description
Crimson presents David Soul 'Gold', the only David Soul compilation you'll ever need.

David Soul first shot to international fame as Hutch on the hit 1970s US crime-fighting television show Starsky & Hutch. But he actually started his career as a folksinger and after the phenomenal success of the television show David began an equally successful career as a singer and songwriter. From 1977 over a period of five years, David Soul put out four albums with hits including 'Don't Give Up On Us, Baby' and 'Silver Lady'. Both singles reached Number One in the UK charts. This release also includes David's later recordings.

This definitive 3CD set features 44 tracks spanning Soul's career achieving a remarkable 5 Top 15 UK singles including 'Going In With My Eyes Open' (UK #2), 'Let's Have A Quiet Night In' (UK #8), 'It Sure Brings Out The Love In Your Eyes' (UK #12), plus the two #1 singles 'Don't Give Up On Us' and 'Silver Lady'.

Not a commentary on his music, but more the things one remembers. I came across Playing To An Audience Of One while scouring the used record bins a couple of weeks ago, and thanks to a typically snarky review in Creem Magazine, I showed it to my boyfriend and said "correction David. Playing to an audience of none".
Damn you Robert Christgau

I had no idea he recorded enough to fill 3 CDs. I was unaware of his UK chart success.
