  • Should have been huge, but came a few years too late. For all the fans of Tom Jones, Tony Christie, Engelbert Humperdinck and the like. Alas he died in 1995. Check out the website www.davidalexander.co.uk for further information, CDs, Video.

    One of the greatest singers that ever came from Wales and certainly loved by our people.

    a very great singer who wasn't as well known as he should have been.greater than tom jones but didn't get that lucky hand up the ladder.His voice tells the full story ,what a total shame on the record companies for letting this man through the net.Enjoy the music we have left

    I discovered David quite late in my music life, and for someone who is into opera, now a good voice when I hear one, I will never understand why David never became an International Superstar, of the likes of Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, to name but two Welsh nationals, a huge loss to the world, and an even bigger one to Wales, thank you David for giving me so much pleasure when listening to your voice - Gary from Barry

    Just commented on another song but what a voice ,top draw all the way, a sad loss at such a young age. Mum and dad have all Davids CDs and long may we give the legend from Blackwood Monmouthshire all the credit he and his family deserve.

    I first heard of this guy in Benidorm 20years ago.i was in a bar and the singer sang your the answer to everything. He must have heard me telling other customers del Shannon best song.he said that I was wrong and told me it was David Alexander. When I got home my wife downloaded some of his music, what a wonderful voice. Bless him.

    His voice sounds extremly like Tome Jones' and as Shirley Bassey he sang the Udo Jurgens (Austrian-German) -song. Listen to the original version of A l e x a n d r a and the younger ones of Marianne Rosenberg and Jasmin Wagner, you'll love it too.

    It's not a good interpretation. He sings the song distorted. There are mistakes in the lyrics too. He may have a good voice but this song is not for him. It's as if he thought that just because the song is popular, I should sing it too. He can't give the emotion.

  • @2HonestIam
    @2HonestIam 11 років тому +1

    Brilliant singer,but the amount of bitter jealous people from the valleys who keep saying he was better than young Tom Jones are talking out of their arses! David was technically as good as the best,but Tom had an edge on his voice,and could go alto tenor,and was not the highest paid live singer in the world in his vegas period,because he was just ok!He was the best power singer in the world,but,because he made it,bitter tossers slag him off and side with David,as he is one of them,so no threat.
