David Peel, born David Michael Rosario, (August 1, 1943 – April 6, 2017) was a New York-based musician who first recorded in the late 1960s with Harold Black, Billy Joe White, George Cori and Larry Adam performing as David Peel & the Lower East Side. His raw, acoustic "street rock" with lyrics about marijuana and "bad cops" appealed mostly to hippies.
In 1968, Peel was contracted by Elektra Records when he was first discovered and recorded two "envelope pushers" for the label.
