Oh, David, è meraviglioso, ogni giorno andare alla ricerca di foto, di video, di frammenti della tua vita artistica e personale, hai convertito il tuo cognome per sposare appieno il concetto di anima, continui a muoverti con delicata armonia, sei eterea ed eterna bellezza, non smetterò di sentirmi accompagnata dalla traccia profonda che il tuo “battito” ha impresso nelle nostre vite…
Absolutely brilliant performer from Magnum Force, Starsky and Hutch and my favorite , Tobe Hooper’s Salem’s Lot. There is only one Ben Mears/David Soul.Thanks for a lifetime of memories.
✨️Sending all my love and best wishes to Helen, to Paul, and all David’s relations and friends here.
I have followed much of your wonderful work as an artist of great heart, integrity and passion.
You have been a positive influence in my life and I was so sad to hear of your passing.
I am very happy you passed this way David. Walk with long-lost friends and often wander with the Angels.
So many throughout the world love you and will always miss you.
We shall always remember your soulful voice and smile.
Until we all meet again, and talk of blessed old times take care.
Love always Rick Suegreen💖
Wow a year plus already, it only seems like yesterday since you passed, you meant so much to millions including me growing up in the UK watching Starsky and Hutch and so much more to your family, thankyou David for the memories and with that I wish all the family well at this time and say a prayer both for them and you David, God Bless.
Great team worked well together and now they walk alone but memories never die
It’s been one year since your passing. David, you will never be forgotten your love, laughter for others will always remain in my heart. Love to all the Soul / Solberg family x x
One year ago today. RIP David. Bless Helen and his family who miss him every day, I’m sure. I play one of his CD’s as I am driving in my car. He is truly missed.
Thinking of David today – a year since he left us. Not a day goes by without remembering him. Such a special person. Thank goodness his music and films are here here for us. A really talented man. Thinking of his family too today.
Today I remember David as it is exactly a year ago since he passed. Last year I wasn’t able to find words for my sadness so I now would like to write some thoughts down.
I am a great fan of David and I feel very happy to have met him four times: for a gig in Manchester in 2001, twice in Peterborough for “Deathtrap” in 2002 and for “Mack and Mable” in Eastbourne in 2006.
Apart from being an England enthusiast, I came to England to see and hear David and I have always enjoyed it tremendously. Afterwards he always took time for a little chat and a photo.
It all started with watching “Starsky and Hutch” on German TV in November 2000. Since then I fell in love with him and his way of acting, singing and performing in general. Because of him, I got in touch with many other people, I learned more about East German history, I feel especially enriched by his voice and music that accompany me in good and sad times. I’ll keep the memories of meeting David in my heart and on my mind.
What remains for me to say is: THANK YOU SO MUCH from the bottom of my heart, David, for your talents, for the joy you brought to me and many other people and for having been you!
Rest in Peace.
Herzliche Gruesse/Kind regards, Kati (Germany)
A year has gone since you passed away. You are not and never will be forgotten. My thoughts go to your family and friends on this sad day. I shall always remember your lovely smile and sweet voice. I shall be forever grateful for the joy you brought into my life.
I am finding great comfort in the tribute video by Amber Raine.
Rest in peace, dear David.
David, siempre te recordaremos, has sido una persona entrañable, humana, un ser maravilloso, te cogí mucho cariño viendo tus series y tus películas, tus canciones, en ellas dejabas parte de ti, de tu sensibilidad como persona, la riqueza de tu corazón, tu esposa, tus hijos y todos nosotros estamos orgullosos de ti, te hemos seguido y siempre estarás en nuestros corazones, doy muchas gracias a Dios por haberte conocido, siempre vivirás, algún día volveremos a verte, mis condolencias para tu esposa e hijos y toda tu familia, mucho cariño y un fuerte abrazo desde Barcelona (España)
It’s almost a year now since you passed, Mr Soul, and you’re missed more than ever xx
向您致敬…..愿您永远安息…..
It was a joy to see you on Starsky and Hutch, your legacy in acting and music will live on forever. May you rest in eternal peace.
David Soul, I have only realised how much I admire since you left us. I have learnt a lot about you since this day.
I have discovered all the things you have done in addition to our dear Starsky and Hutch, which were not always so dear to you and Paul.
You had some problem with fame, but you always sound or look so modest and shy in your interviews… You would be so sad for your country today, dear David… You were so generous, so human… I am still so sad today because you left us too soon…. I will continue to discover your work as long as I can. You were a great actor, a great singer and a great man.
Thank you David. Your children must be so proud of you! As much as you were of them.
