Murray was born David Murray Oates in Southgate, London in 1946. Before joining Elton John, Murray, and drummer Nigel Olsson, were members of the Spencer Davis Group in 1969-1970. Murray and Olsson first appeared on disc with Elton on the 1970 album Tumbleweed Connection, though they were first strongly featured on the live album 11-17-70. They were key members of the band through its glory years, including the milestone album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. In 1975, after recording Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, Murray and Olsson were released from the band because Elton wanted to achieve a different sound. He said at the time "The band always rattled along. I want it to chug. " Dee & nigel continued working together, as session musicians in Los Angeles. They played on Rick Springfield's first United States album 'Wait For Night. ' Elton went into a very shortlived self imposed retirement from performing. Upon his return to performing, he had other players for bass & drums. Both musicians returned in 1981 and toured with Elton for another four years. Together, Murray and Olsson were arguably one of the best (and most underrated) rhythm sections in rock music. It is no coincidence that many consider the end of Elton John's "classic" period to coincide with the departure of these two musicians. In 1977 Murray briefly joined Procol Harum on a North American tour promoting their last 1970s album, Something Magic although he never recorded with the group. After battling skin cancer for a number of years, Murray died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center after suffering a stroke in 1992; he was 45.
