"Don't Give Up On Us" is a song by David Soul.

Riding high on the success of playing in the hit TV show Starsky and Hutch, David Soul returned to one of his early career choices as a singer. His debut, the Tony Macaulay written and produced Don't Give Up on Us was a worldwide smash, spending four weeks at #1 on the UK singles chart in January 1977 and a single week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1977.

"Don't Give Up on Us" was rated #93 in VH1's 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders. 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 Owen Wilson in the movie Starsky & Hutch.
