David Soul, “Hutch” on the hit television series “Starsky and Hutch”, parlayed the steady acting gig into a nominally successful singing career and at least one number one hit pop single “Don’t Give Up On Us”. While definitely not my cup of tea, full disclosure requires that I fess up about my attending his concert at the Westbury Music Fair on Sunday, July 16, 1978. My sister, who is a couple of years younger than I am, has always been a “pop” music and “Starsky and Hutch” TV show fan so I took her to Mr. Soul’s concert at the Westbury Music Fair on Long Island. Another concert that I took her to, and I will get in to much more detail later on, was the Shawn Cassidy concert at the Nassau Coliseum where I heard the loudest high picked screaming I have ever heard then or since, when David Cassidy’s younger brother appeared as a silhouette behind a round circular screen. Cassidy played his hit singles to an arena full of adoring delirious teenyboppers and their parents.
