Rumble
written by Milt Grant and Link Wray
Fred Lincoln "Link" Wray Jr. (May 2, 1929 – November 5, 2005) was an American guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist who became popular in the late 1950s.
Wray's first hit was the 1958 instrumental "Rumble." The record was first released on Cadence Records as by "Link Wray & His Ray Men."
"Rumble" was banned in New York and Boston for fear that it would incite teenage gang violence, "rumble" being slang for a gang fight.
Rolling Stone ranked Wray at No. 45 on their list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.
He received two nominations for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, prior to being inducted with the Musical Influence Award in 2023.
