There certainly is quite a variety of genres of music on this CD. Of course, many of the songs bring back great memories if you are a fan of Mr. Soul's music. David Soul has such wonderful qualities in his singing voice such as a gentleness and passion that emanate forth in all of the songs. These are songs with lyrics that we all can relate to. The new spiced up Latin version of "Don't Give Up On Us Baby" gives a new sound to the time-tested song, however I admit that I prefer the original version.I recommend this CD and hope he does more!!

I've always been a David Soul admirer, and have always thought his voice was just incredible - from sweet to strong, soft to sexy - he has a talent that I believe has been underrated all these years.

This CD is wonderful as it brings you down memory lane but still looks to the future - he sings old hits and some newer songs that showcase his voice perfectly. Favorites of mine are Silver Lady, Jazzman, Fools for Each Other and Doggone. Of course, the sweetest song is "I Wish."

Great job David!!! I hope you record some more for us. Thank you! Adrianne

It is worth far more than the five famus songs The rest was a wonderful surprise!!!!!!!!!

David Soul is better known as one half of the TV series Starsky and Hutch, but he was a folk singer back in the sixties. He sometimes performed his songs as the opening act for such groups as the Byrds and the Doors but switched to an acting career and abandoned his singing for a while.

Eventually, he managed to find a record label that gave him the opportunity to record the kind of music that he wanted. Although it might generally be classed as easy listening pop, evidence of David's roots is still there, particularly via covers of Bird on a wire (Leonard Cohen) and Tattler (Ry Cooder).

David's hits were mostly written by Tony Macauley, a British producer-songwriter who scored notable successes in the late sixties and early seventies via big international hits for the Foundations (Baby now that I've found you, Build me up buttercup), Edison lighthouse (Love grows where my Rosemary goes), Long John Baldry (Let the heartaches begin) and others.

Don't give up on us reached the very top of the charts in both Britain and America early in 1977. It was his only significant American hit, but he had four more hits in Britain. Going in with my eyes open reached number two. Silver lady became David's second number one. Let's have a quiet night in was a top ten hit. David's final UK hit, It sure brings out the love in your eyes, peaked at twelve. All those songs are (of course) included on this compilation. As the titles of the songs might suggest, David was primarily a balladeer, but Silver lady was more up-tempo than the others.

If you enjoy the music of Bread, you will surely enjoy David Soul's music.

David was serious about his music. With a decent, but limited voice, and top

notch players he had one big hit and a few minor ones. A real flashback to

the 70's.

i love david music i will be glad win it come out on cd please get it know I love it love jackie
