OT: David Soul dead at 80

[RUhasarrived]

The Starsky and Hutch star was one of only two people who had a concurrent No.1 TV Show rating and a Billboard Top 100 No.1 record.
The other?
Lorne Greene.

I can guess both songs:

David Soul - Don't Give Up On Us
Lorne Greene - Ringo

RIP

Desi Arnaz? Ricky Nelson didn’t? Partridge Family never made it to #1?

Was Salem's Lot pretty creepy or was it just due to being young?

It was a very underrated horror movie. It was creepy as hell young and still today.

Loved the theme song:
