In lieu of role models, we had cheesy TV crushes that stared into our souls from their pixilated perch. Two such heartthrobs were the title characters of Starsky & Hutch, the detectives who made SoCal so cool. The show ran from 1975 to 1979, but its reruns and eventual remake linger in our minds to this day.

Bridge Over Troubled Water, and tougher, more diverse (genre-wise) but very accessible sounds in the case of Simon s solo hits. Surprisingly, the tough-than-usual S&G reunion single
My Little Town from 75 is my favourite of the duo s songs â it s more personal and has a very punchy sound. Their 1960s material was more poetic in nature.

I ll be honest here, I wasn t even born when Starsky & Hutch debuted in April 1975. However, I have a thing for 1970s TV shows (M A S H included) and many years back I used to play the Starsky & Hutch video game like mad. And the Torino is my second favorite Ford model after the Fairlane. So yeah, I get a little excited when a 1976 Ford Gran Torino that was featured in this TV series pops up for sale. 10 photos
