Link Wray The Black Widow.wmv

Frederick Lincoln "Link" Wray Jr (May 2, 1929 -- November 5, 2005) was an American rock and roll guitarist, songwriter and occasional singer.

Wray was noted for pioneering a new sound for electric guitars, as exemplified in his hit 1958 instrumental "Rumble", by Link Wray and his Ray Men, which pioneered an overdriven, distorted electric guitar sound, and also for having, "invented the power chord, the major modus operandi of modern rock guitarist," "and in doing so fathering," or making possible, "punk and heavy rock". Rolling Stone included Link at number 67 on their list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.

You want to know what the music is really about?

"1957 Fuel Injected Corvette Shelby Blackwidow Engine"

A lot of the music back in the 1950's and early 1960's

were about cars. And this is just one of them.

They are starting to die off, but, you can still see old dudes

with the 1950's hair, (James Dean - Elvis) type of hair.

Old rockers just fade away.........................

Of course, compared to the shaved heads and pins

stuck all over their faces and pants hanging from their

knees, of today.
