David Walker (May 5, 1941 – March 12, 1986),[1] better known by his stage name Bunker Hill, was an American rhythm & blues, rock and gospel singer.
Born[1] and raised in Washington, D.C.,[2] Walker sought a career in professional boxing, at one point becoming the sparring partner of Archie Moore.
In 1962 he was offered the chance to record a secular novelty song by manager Ray Vernon, the brother of Link Wray.
[3] Adopting the pseudonym Bunker Hill so as not to lose his position with the Mighty Clouds of Joy, he recorded several tracks with a band including Link Wray on guitar.
[3] His later life is obscure, although it is believed that he did perform occasionally as a member of the Mighty Clouds of Joy before leaving the music industry in the late 1960s.
