Does anyone know the name of the guitarist he works with? I recall an interview in which he (David) told of how an American music producer advised him to drop his white guitarist if he wanted success in the American R'n'B scene. David commented how he would never drop a friend for success, and that the notion that working with a white musician was damaging to his image was appalling and worrying to him. What a nice chap he is.

The name of his guitarist is "Fraser T Smith".

Guest appearance on It's All About The Stragglers (Artful Dodger album):

1999 "Re-Rewind The Crowd Say Bo Selecta" (Artful Dodger featuring Craig David) #2 UK

Rewind was on born to do it too, well at least my copy has it (It's australian)

>the rewind on the album (uk version atleast.. IDK if there was a specific aus version) is a slower version.. not the same song. the Artful Dodger version is the one which was the single. i would edit it in myself but someone has vandalized and i'm not registered so i can't revert it..

Do you know what the names of Craig David's current backing singers are? Amanda & Russ, Leicestershire

[edit] Good Article

I think this article is horrendous, it quotes chart placing throughout, which makes difficult reading. Maybe a table at the bottom? Also it keeps referring to his US success, which we know has been limited, by the fact it is parodied on many comedy shows, not least Sacha Baron Cohen and Bo Selecta shows. Cleanup is 100% neccessary! --194.125.76.202 14:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Censorship bad

Changed c**t to cunt in the trivia section - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Content_disclaimer

[edit] song used in advertisments

His song "What's ya flava" is also used in a television ad for Popeye's Chicken. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cbxweb (talk • contribs) 06:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Buddhist?

There seems to be some clues that point to Craig David being a possible Buddhist, is there any confirmation on this? Craig has at least one Buddhist statue in his house (a huge one at that), uses the hand thing (I can't remember it's name) as a greeting and as a thankyou, and I have seen him mentioning karma before.

[edit] Additional Single

Does anyone know why the Human League cover track "Human" isn't listed here as one of Craig's singles? I know it was released...I have a copy of it. Anyone who could verify and/or post it would be applauded. --6_xB 19:56, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Human wasn't released as a single. it may be a promo you have. i think it was a b-side to one of the singles, but i'd have to check them to be correct. 194.221.133.211 13:01, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] seven days cover pic on main page

it's stated this picture is the Seven Days CD cover. it's not the UK cover, the UK cover is totally different.

can someone verify which country release cover it is, and please update it. 194.221.133.211 13:02, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bo selecta!

This keeps getting removed from the article. It really should be on there; like it or not Bo Selecta! was a very well known shown and its very title came from a Craig David quote and the Craig David character (along with Michael Jackson) were the two most famous characters from the series. It shouldn't be the main highlight of the article obviously but as a minor section it certainly should be there.--Him and a dog 21:41, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Personal life section

Needs to be changed - it seems to be somewhat bogus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.226.224 (talk) 08:19, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
