Harold David Box (August 11, 1943 – October 23, 1964), known professionally as simply David Box was an American rock musician in the early 60s. Box was influenced by fellow Texan Buddy Holly, and even took his place as singer of his group, The Crickets, for a short time after his death. Box also collaborated with Roy Orbison and found local success with his group, The Ravens. Box died on tour in a plane crash in 1964 at the age of 21, coincidentally in a similar manner as Holly.
