Don has a very charming personality and his musical abilities have given him privileges at an early age of working alongside some of the greatest artists such as Paul Young, Dennis Brown, ABC, John Holt, Maxi Priest and many others. Don has even supported international artists like SWV, Massive Attack, Lisa Stansfield, and Wet Wet Wet.
In 1993 Don collaborated with Trevor T of Juggling Records and came with the huge Reggae hit ‘See it in your eyes’. This held the number 1 position in almost every Reggae chart for 12 weeks. ‘Lovers Do’, his follow up single entered the then Echoes Chart at number 9.
Don’s first album titled ‘Don Campbell, The Album’ was released in May 1994 and is still selling internationally and can still be found amongst most Reggae Lovers Collections. 1994 saw Don at the British Reggae Industry Award where he picked up 4 Awards for ‘Best New Comer’, ‘Best Male Vocalist’, ‘Best Singer’ and ‘Best Songwriter’. The Echoes paper described Don as ‘The most exciting UK Reggae Vocalist to emerge’. In 1995 at the Black Music Awards, Don walked away with Awards for ‘Best Reggae Soloist’ and ‘Best Reggae Single’.
In 1996 Don collaborated with General Saint, landing a number 1 spot in South East Asia with the cover of 60’s singer Neil Sedaka’s song ‘Oh Carol’ which was internationally a huge success.
After extensive touring all around Europe, South East Asia, Africa, America, Australia and Canada, Don returns in 1999 with an album called Reggae Max. Don went on to doing three more exciting albums between 2002 and 2004.
2005 sees the birth of ‘Blu Jeanz Records’ and ‘Camm Street Publishing’ owned by Directors Don Campbell and General Saint who have two rising stars signed to the Company - so look out for the whole new package, don’t say you have not been warned.
Don still continues to tour around Europe and England and is one of the UK’s most sought after Reggae Artists.
The final word from Don is ‘Even better things yet to come’.
Never Burn Your Bridges
Don Campbell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't ever forget, those who helped you along your way.
Your ego flies, high to the sky.
Remember what goes around, comes around.
Every one, needs someone.
But it seems, you've forgotten...
Cause you never know what life has in store for you.
Always do the good and good will follow,
Cause you never know what happens tomorrow.
Time is the master, yeah, time can be disaster.
Help a brother if he's down, yeah, yeah.
Love and be loved, and you'll be blessed from above.
But it seems, you've forgotten...
You should never burn your bridges behind you,
Cause you never know what life has in store for you.
Always do the good and good will follow,
Cause you never know what happens tomorrow.
Time is the master, yeah time can be disaster.
Help a brother if he's down.
Love and be loved, and you'll be blessed from above.
But it seems, you've forgotten...
Yeah
You should never burn your bridges behind you,
Cause you never know what life has in store for you.
Always do the good and good will follow,
Cause you never know what happens tomorrow.
You should never burn your bridges
Behind you, cause you never, oh no no.
Always do the good and good will follow,
Cause your never, oh no no.
You should never burn your bridges behind you,
Cause you never know what life has in store for you.
Always do the good and good will follow,
Cause you never know what happens tomorrow.
