David's album : David Soul -- 1976 "Don't give up on us, baby ", written by Tony Macaulay, was a worldwide smash, spending four weeks at #1 on the UK singles chart in January 1977 and a single week on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1977. "I made an album in San Francisco for Private Stock but there was nothing suitable for a single. The company told me that Tony Macaulay had some good tunes and he came over and played me Don't Give Up On Us and Going In With My Eyes Wide Open. Within 10 days, I had leant the songs and recorded them and Tony had mixed them and taken them back to England. They bazoomed to the top and they are 2 songs which have stood the test of time."Soul recorded a new version of the song in 2004.
