Dave Sampson (9 January 1941 – 5 March 2014)[1][2] was an English rock singer.

Life and career

David John Bernard Sampson was born in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England.[1]

He had a UK hit single in May 1960 with his backing band, The Hunters (instrumental band), with "Sweet Dreams", which peaked at number 29 on the UK Singles Chart.[3] "Sweet Dreams" was released on the Columbia Records label, and spent six weeks on the chart.[3] His lack of subsequent chart presence left him listed as a one-hit wonder.

His first ever recording was a four-tune EP demo with Steve Laine, later of the Liverpool Five. Both were singers on the EP with a backing band that was never named but included Don Groom on drums, John Milner on bass and Tony Haslett on guitar.

Sampson died at Colchester Hospital, Colchester, Essex, in March 2014, aged 73.[4][2]
