Fred Lincoln "Link" Wray Jr (May 2, 1929 – November 5, 2005) was an American rock and roll guitarist, songwriter and vocalist who first came to popularity in the late 1950s.Building on the overdriven, distorted electric guitar sound of early electric blues records, his 1958 instrumental hit "Rumble" by Link Wray and his Ray Men invented "the power chord, the major modus operandi of modern rock guitarists", making possible "punk and heavy rock". Rolling Stone placed Wray at number 45 of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. In 2013 he was announced as a nominee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

#Fact
1His 1959 song "Rumble" was banned on many US radio stations because it was thought that--even though the song is an instrumental and has no lyrics whatsoever--it would inspire teenage gangs to fight--or "rumble"--each other.
2Was an avid fan of Elvis Presley.
3The magazine "Uncut" listed Wray at #33 on their list of top 100 best guitarists in the world.
4Both of his parents were semi-literate street preachers.
5One of the original rockabilly artists, singer/guitarist Link Wray is credited with having invented the "power chord," which has become the basis for modern rock, heavy metal, alternative and thrash music.
