▸ "Don't Give Up on Us" is a song by American-British singer #davidsoul
▸ Riding high on the success of his role in the hit TV show #starskyandhutch returned to #singing which had been one of his early career choices.
▸ His debut, the Tony Macaulay-written-and-produced "Don't Give Up on Us" was a worldwide smash, spending four weeks at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in January and February 1977, and a single week at No. 1 on the #billboard Hot 100 in April 1977.
▸ In addition, the song spent one week at No. 1 on the U.S. Adult #contemporary chart.
▸ It has sold 1.16 million copies in the UK.
▸ Its B-side, "Black Bean Soup", with lyrics by actor Gardner McKay, is a duet with actress Lynne Marta, whom Soul was involved with at the time.
▸ "Don't Give Up on Us" was rated No. 93 in #vh1's 100 Greatest #onehitwonders because, despite having more hits in the UK, Soul was never again able to reach the top 40 in the US.
▸ Soul recorded a new version of the song in 2004, allegedly after being embarrassed when hearing it by chance in an elevator as sung by #owenwilson the film version of Starsky and Hutch.
▸ The #film #soundtrack included a cover of the song by Wilson and Neal Casal.
