David Peaston (March 13, 1957 – February 1, 2012) was an American R&B and gospel singer who in 1990 won a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist. He was mostly known for the singles, "Two Wrongs (Don't Make it Right)" and "Can I?", the latter of which was originally recorded by Eddie Kendricks.
Passed away on the same day as Don Cornelius who hosted the syndicated music show Soul Train (1971) that gave Peaston one of his first opportunities to perform for national television audience.
