David Malcolm "Dave" Adams (27 November 1938 – 19 March 2016) was a British singer, keyboard player and songwriter.
Born in Jersey, he began working with Joe Meek in 1958 and continued to work with him until Meek's death in 1967. In the early 1960s, he helped build up Meek's studio. He recorded singles with him under various pseudonyms and wrote songs for him. He was part of the production of Telstar; a "second stage demo" of him playing the tune exists. He was also a member of Heinz Burt's backing band The Wild Boys.
