Before he found fame as an actor, Soul started his professional career as a folk singer, warming up audiences for stars like Frank Zappa, the Byrds, and the Lovin' Spoonful.
He picked up an interest in music as a teenager in Mexico, where his father was a professor at a college for young diplomats.
There, he was befriended by a group of radical students who gave him a guitar and taught him the indigenous songs of Mexico.
Upon his return to the US, he found some success playing those songs around Minneapolis - but it was only when he donned a mask and hid his face that his career really took off.
As "The Covered Man", he was signed by the William Morris Agency and appeared on the TV talk show circuit, including multiple appearances on the highly rated Merv Griffin show.
But when he decided to lose the mask and reveal himself, bookings dwindled and he turned to acting instead.
Possibly not an impartial site, but I'd say you don't usually get to go out & do multiple tours if you can't sing

RIP David Soul
I LOVED Starsky and Hutch…… I did prefer Starsky but my mate loved David.
And Salems Lot….. oh I wonder how that would stand up now? I’m not sure I would want to watch it again in case it’s not as good anymore?
It still scares the keech oot o me now ... c.40 years on ... yeah, it's dated in terms of fashion and imagery but Stephen King-written and James Mason-starring so David Soul must have been in demand.
S&H had mainstream clout and then developed cult status later ... so his fame was extended.
RIP

Fun fact: When you see David Soul jump onto the car roof in that title sequence for the first series and land on his behind, he actually injured himself quite badly and couldn't film for a while.
