David Box (August 11, 1943 – October 23, 1964) was an American rock musician in the early 1960s.
Box was influenced by fellow Texan Buddy Holly, and even took his place as singer of his group, the Crickets, for a short time after Holly's death.
Box also collaborated with Roy Orbison, and found local success with his group, the Ravens.
On October 23, 1964, according to the Bill Daniel’s relatives, David Box and two friends playfully abducted Bill Daniel, who was a pilot, as he was walking to a college class and said let's go flying.
The plane was found later crashed in a field in the Houston area.
