Songfacts:
David Soul played Hutch on the TV cop show Starsky & Hutch. Soul was a singer before he became an actor, and recorded folk and pop singles in the early ’70s without any success. In desperation, he sent a photograph of himself to the top New York entertainment agency William Morris. His ploy of disguising his face with a ski mask caught their imagination and he was immediately contracted to become the Covered Man, the resident singer on The Merv Griffin Show. After completing the first series of Starsky & Hutch, Soul released an album before teaming up with Tony Macaulay and recording Don’t Give Up on Us, which became his first hit single.

Lyrics:
Don’t give up on us, baby
Don’t make the wrong seem right
The future isn’t just one night
It’s written in the moonlight
Painted on the stars
We can’t change ours
