Description

Under the radio call sign "Zebra Three", Starsky & Hutch's main confidential informant was the street-wise "jive-talking" "Huggy Bear" (Antonio Fargas), who often dressed in a flashy manner and operated his own bar. The duo's boss was the gruff no-nonsense Captain Dobey. Not just the characters, but also the quality of the scripts attracted many fans. In 1977 following a rising concern in America about violence on TV forced the writers to reduce the violent action scenes and use more romantically and socially themed story lines and play-up the "buddy-buddy" aspect of the show's leads even more. At the same time, the lead actors became jaded with the general theme of the series. These factors contributed to the fading popularity of the series. Tom Scott is an American saxophonist, composer, arranger, conductor and bandleader of the West Coast Jazz Fusion ensemble, The L.A. Express. Born in Los Angeles, he is the son of the prolific film and television composer Nathan Scott. Scott's professional career began as a teenager as the leader of the jazz ensemble Neoteric Trio and then as a first-call session musician. He has 29 solo recordings of his own for which he has collected 13 Grammy nominations and he has appeared on more than 450 records by such diverse artists as George Harrison, The Beach Boys, The Grateful Dead, Paul McCartney, Steppenwolf, Rod Stewart, Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Joni Mitchell, Blondie, Pink Floyd, Quincy Jones, Carole King, Olivia Newton-John, Lalo Schifrin and Frank Sinatra. Scott was a founding member of the Blues Brothers Band, despite his absence in the two films. According to Bob Woodward's account in John Belushi's biography, “Wired”, Scott left the band after their 1980 tour over a salary dispute.
