Timeline

1957

David Peaston (March 13, 1957 – February 1, 2012) was an American R&B and gospel singer who in 1990 won a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist.

He was mostly known for the singles, "Two Wrongs (Don't Make it Right)" and "Can I?", the latter of which was originally recorded by Eddie Kendricks.

He was a native of Saint Louis, Missouri.

As a child, he attended the Pleasant Green Missionary Baptist Church along with his mother, Martha Bass, a member of The Clara Ward Singers gospel group.

His sister was R&B/soul singer Fontella Bass.

He graduated from Northwest High School in St. Louis, Missouri.

1980

In the late 1980s, he won several competitions on the Showtime at the Apollo television show, winning over the audience with a powerful rendition of "God Bless the Child."

1981

After graduating he worked as a school teacher but, after being laid off in 1981, moved to New York City and began working as a background singer on recording sessions, including Lester Bowie's 1982 album, The One and Only (ECM).

1989

He was signed by Geffen Records, and his first single, "Two Wrongs (Don't Make It Right)" rose to no. 3 on the Billboard Black Singles chart in 1989.

He had further hits on the R&B chart with "Can I?"

(previously a hit for Eddie Kendricks), and "We're All in This Together", and released an album, Introducing...David Peaston.

1990

During the 1990s, Peaston was diagnosed with diabetes, and in 2004 had his legs amputated, forcing him to use prostheses.

1991

1993

In 1993 he recorded a gospel album with Fontella and Martha Bass entitled Promises: A Family Portrait Of Faith.

2004

When he was preparing to be honored at the 2004 event "A Celebration of Love in St. Louis," he struggled with whether he had let his disease prevent him from ever performing on stage again.

"I didn't want to be back in the public," he told the Post-Dispatch that year.

"I wasn't embarrassed or ashamed, but I felt I let myself down and, therefore, I let everyone else down. It was my fault for being sick, and I didn't want anybody to see me like that."

But by 2004, he lost 200 pounds, and sang with the St. Louis group the Distinguished Gents for five years.

The group performed a mix of classical, jazz and gospel songs annually at the Ethical Society of St. Louis.

He also toured Europe until his older sister, Fontella Bass, fell ill.

2006
