David Buckley Wilborn (April 11, 1904 – April 25, 1982) was an American jazz singer and banjoist,[1] best known for his time as a member of McKinney's Cotton Pickers.
[2] Wilborn played with Cecil and Lloyd Scott in 1922, then joined Bill McKinney's Synco Septet, which became the Cotton Pickers soon after.
[2] After 1937, Wilborn worked as a bandleader until 1950, after which he left full-time performance.
[2] When David Hutson formed the New McKinney's Cotton Pickers, Wilborn (who may have been the last living member of the original band) also played in this ensemble.
[2] He sang and played on their albums New McKinney's Cotton Pickers (1972) and You're Driving Me Crazy (1973).
