Product Description

John David Williams (born 19 January 1946 in Cardiff, Wales) is a Welsh bassist and songwriter known equally for his work with Dave Edmunds and for his songwriting.

In the mid-1970s, David formed a group, Airwaves, along with singer and guitarist Ray Martinez and drummer Dave Charles. In 1978, the group recorded and released an album New Day and a single of the same name (also known as "You Are the New Day"). The single, performed a cappella, never reached the charts, but was heavily played on radio at the time. A choral version was later recorded by the King's Singers. The song has been covered by some 150 artists around the world. The song "So Hard Living Without You" got significant airplay in America and peaked at number 62 on the Billboard Hot 100 that same year.

Here's a Brass Quintet cover of this exceptionally beautiful composition for your enjoyment.
