Recording Career
Campbell released two albums in 1997, "Taking the Wheel" and "Yesterday Is Now".
During 2003, David released two mainstream singles, "Hope" and "When She's Gone". A full-length album "A Better Place" was planned but never materialized. He released another single, "End of the World" in 2005.
In 2006, Campbell released The Swing Sessions, an album produced by Chong Lim, covering 13 classic swing tracks such as "Mack the Knife", "Call Me Irresponsible", "Mr. Bojangles", and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". Both this album, and The Swing Sessions 2 (released in November 2007), achieved platinum sales and charted in the Top 10 of the Australian ARIA Albums Chart.
In 2008, David released Good Lovin', an album of songs from the 1960s which he described as 'blue-eyed soul'. This became his third platinum album, and again charted in the Australian Top 10. A live DVD of the accompanying Good Lovin' Live tour hit number one on the Australian DVD chart.
Campbell's next album, On Broadway, was recorded at East West Studios in Los Angeles in January 2010, and produced by leading musical director Rob Fisher and veteran arranger Bill Elliott. On Broadway was released in Australia on 2 April 2010, with a tie-in television documentary David Campbell On Broadway airing on arts channel STVDIO the following day.
David's most recent release is an album of early 1980s music called Let's Go, which was released in Australia on 18 November 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words recording and/or career:
“Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.”
—Jessie Tarbox Beals (1870–1942)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
