David Soul
David Soul (born August 28, 1943) is an American-British actor and singer. He is known for his role as Detective Kenneth "Hutch" Hutchinson in the ABC television series Starsky & Hutch from 1975 to 1979. He became a British citizen in 2004.
Early life
Soul was born David Richard Solberg in Chicago, Illinois, on August 28, 1943. His mother, June Johnanne (Nelson), was a teacher, and his father, Dr. Richard W. Solberg, was a Lutheran minister, Professor of History and Political Science, and Director of Higher Education for the American Lutheran Church. Dr. Solberg was also Senior Representative for Lutheran World Relief during the reconstruction of Germany after the Second World War from 1949 until 1956. Because of this, the family moved frequently while Soul was growing up. Both of his grandfathers were evangelists.
Soul attended Augustana College, University of the Americas in Mexico City and the University of Minnesota. At 19, he turned down a professional baseball contract with the Chicago White Sox in order to study political science. While in Mexico, inspired by students who taught him to play the guitar, Soul changed his direction and decided to follow his passion for music. His first appearance upon returning from Mexico to the States was in a club in Minneapolis, The 10 O'Clock Scholar.

Playing To An Audience Of One
They say maybe dreams are only movies of the mind
Still I've lived a few
Oh I'm not a star
Though in some ways I've made it
But all these nights away is gonna lose me you
I've thought a lot about it in these backs stage rooms
And I'd leave it all, if you want me too.
Some nights, God knows I'll miss the music
I'll miss the crowds that call my name
I'd find contentment now
If I thought you'd just hang' on
Playing to an audience of one
Some nights, God knows it won't be easy
I'll feel the lights I'll hear the sound
I'll find a piece in me
Cuddled up when the evening's done
Sometimes playing to my audience of one
The endless driving, midnight arriving
The sleeping when you can
Still worth it somehow just for that lift
You get when you walk on
But just to call you up some nights between the shows
To say "Good-night I miss you" ain't enough I know
So I'd leave it all if you tell me so
I'll find a piece in me
Cuddled up when the evening's done
Playing to my audience of one
