What arrogance?! Dick Dale was the first Rock N' Roller on the Ed Sullivan Show? That's wrong in so many ways. Dick was even the 10th Rock N' Roller on Ed Sullivan. Elvis Presley was the first. That's a documented fact.
@TwistedSpeech - You make a good point. And to put a finer point on your statement and to start yet undoubtedly another debate....Elvis did Rockabilly which started in the 40s and got popular in the 50s....which is a "form" of rock 'n roll. And there were many acts on Sullivan WAY before Elvis that were "rocking and rolling". American surf music was/is a form of rock 'n roll defined by guitars only - specifically Fenders. At that point is where Conan's interview got a bit overstated. ;)
Got to watch him play twice at a small club I worked at around the same time of this vid... Dick is as cool as he is talented. Put on AWESOME shows, stayed till 4 both mornings signing autographs... class act and true American treasure. I will always be a DICKHEAD!

There is no greater master of his craft than Dick Dale. When it comes to being at the absolute pinnacle there are few, and he is one.
