British Rock
'n' Roll singer
born David John Bernard Sampson,
on January 9, 1941
in Uttoxter (Straffordshire). Dave Sampson & the
Hunters made five
singles and an EP in the early '60s that were very much in the
Cliff Richard & the Shadows mold, with their imitation of the tamer elements
of
Elvis Presley and
Ricky Nelson, as well as the cleanly echoing, almost surf-Hawaiian sound of
the guitars. The
Richard comparison did not arise from coincidence, as Sampson got his EMI
contract with
Richard's help. Sampson's debut single, "Sweet Dreams," got into the British
Top 30 in 1960, but none of his subsequent efforts charted. Sampson wasn't
without his virtues -- he wrote a couple of his singles, including "Sweet Dreams,"
and had occasional brushes with a polished rockabilly sound. Yet on the whole,
his talent was only passable, and much of the material he was given was too
innocuous to make a lasting impact before his last single in 1962.
He died on
March 5, 2014 in Colchester (Essex).
