David Gordon LaFlamme (May 4, 1941 – August 6, 2023) was an American singer and violinist best known for co-founding the San Francisco band It's a Beautiful Day.
LaFlamme had been studying violin since moving to Los Angeles at age five, and in Salt Lake City he won a competition to perform as soloist with the Utah Symphony Orchestra.
After years of legal wrangling over ownership of the band's name, LaFlamme resumed formal use of It's a Beautiful Day when former manager Matthew Katz let the trademark of the name go unrenewed.
From 2000, he performed with the reconstituted band, which included his third wife, Linda Baker LaFlamme, and original drummer Val Fuentes.
LaFlamme also appeared on the television shows Frasier, Ellen, and Wings, as a strolling violinist who stands right at the table in a restaurant, playing loudly or annoyingly.
