David Buskin (born December 13, 1943, in New York City) is a singer, songwriter, performer, author, playwright, jingle composer and girls' basketball coach.
After selling five songs to Mary Travers for her album, Morning Glory, Buskin toured with her for several years as her opening act and they became lifelong friends.
Some of the other artists who have recorded his songs include: Astrud Gilberto, Judy Collins, Peter, Paul & Mary, Johnny Mathis, Shirley Bassey, Tom Rush, Roberta Flack, Dixie Carter, and Tracy Nelson.
The Washington Posthas described the duo as "an irresistible amalgam of melodic, sensual pop, folkie grit and killer wit."
David performs with his partners, Rob Carlson and George Wurzbach in the group "Modern Man – filling the void between The Three Tenors and The Three Stooges."
"With the release of their third CD, "Assisted Living," the somewhat musical group known as Modern Man continued its assault on the out-moded idea that only those persons not yet manifesting symptoms of Alzheimer's should perform in public.
