Soul, who was married five times, was arrested in the 1980s for allegedly assaulting his then-wife, Patti Carnel Sherman, who was seven months pregnant.
According to the BBC, It was his first offense, and after completing a probationary diversion program, the charges against him were dropped.
Later, the actor expressed his guilt and went to several prisons to talk to inmates about domestic abuse.
Following the success of “Starsky & Hutch,” Soul made a musical comeback, releasing four albums of soft rock ballads in the late 1970s.
