David Henry Wray (born 20 June 1959) is an Australian jazz singer, musician and songwriter who performs under the stage name Frank Bennett, a blend of Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. His vocal style is influenced by those two singers and the music of the 1940s and 1950s. He has provided alternative rock cover versions of rock and pop singles in big band arrangements: "Creep" (originally by Radiohead), "Better Man" (Pearl Jam), "Under the Bridge" (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and "Opportunities" (originally by Pet Shop Boys). Bennett’s version of "Creep" was listed in the Triple J Hottest 100, 1996, and he has received nominations at the ARIA Music Awards.
