Link Wray
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 distorted electric guitar sound of early records, his 1958 instrumental hit "Rumble" by Link Wray and his Ray Men popularized "the power chord, the major ''modus operandi'' of modern rock guitarists",〔Cub Koda & Steve Leggett (2008). ("Link Wray" Biography ), AllMusic.com; accessed March 17, 2015.〕 making possible "punk and heavy rock".〔Simmonds, Jeremy (2008). ''The Encyclopedia of Dead Rock Stars: Heroin, Handguns, and Ham Sandwiches'', p. 559; ISBN 1-55652-754-3.〕 ''Rolling Stone'' placed Wray at No. 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.〔("Nirvana, Kiss, Hall and Oates Nominated for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" ). ''Rolling Stone''. October 16, 2013; retrieved October 16, 2013.〕 His musical style primarily consisted of rock and roll, rockabilly and country.
==Early life==
Wray was born on May 2, 1929 in Dunn, North Carolina, to Fred Lincoln Wray, Sr. and his wife, Lillian M. Wray (née Coats).〔Deborah Wray: daughter-in-law〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ancestry of Link Wray )〕 Three songs he performed were named for American Indian tribes: "Shawnee", "Apache", and "Comanche". "Apache" was an instrumental composed by Jerry Lordan; it was originally a hit in the United Kingdom for The Shadows in 1960. Wray recorded a cover version 30 years later, when it was also associated with The Ventures and the Incredible Bongo Band.
Wray served in the US Army during the Korean War, and contracted tuberculosis, which laid him up in a hospital for a year. His stay concluded with the removal of a lung, which doctors predicted would mean he would never be able to sing again.
