David Thomas Mason (10 May 1946 – 19 April 2026) was an English singer-songwriter and guitarist, who came to prominence in 1967 as a founding member of the rock band Traffic. He wrote and sang lead vocals on two of the band's most famous songs, "Hole in My Shoe" and "Feelin' Alright?" His song "Only You Know and I Know" became a signature song for Delaney & Bonnie, and "We Just Disagree", Mason's 1977 solo U. S. hit, written by Jim Krueger, has become a staple of U. S. classic hits and adult contemporary radio playlists.
After leaving Traffic he pursued a solo career and recorded with artists including George Harrison, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney and Wings, Michael Jackson, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Steve Winwood, Fleetwood Mac, Delaney & Bonnie, Leon Russell, and Cass Elliot.
In 2004, Mason started an electric guitar company with business partner and industrial designer Ravi Sawhney, the same year as he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
