Biography-
A top session guitarist since the '70s, David T. Walker has never been an upfront soloist or flashy stylist. But his rhythm guitar and steady timekeeping skills have been heard on sessions by numerous artists. The list includes Marvin Gaye, Pharaoh Sanders, Aretha Franklin, Barry White, Levert, Bobbi Humphrey, Johnny Bristol, Leon Ware, Stephanie Mills, and the Crusaders. Walker's foray into solo performance didn't fare so well; his 1976 LP On Love was produced by Crusaders Joe Sample and Wilton Felder, but wasn't very memorable.
