edna Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I just read it on the newspaper this morning. They just say he died at 76, at Coppenhagen and no more information. I checked in the web but found nothing about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I still didn´t see anything about this on internet but the person who wrote the obituary is a very well respected journalist, I worked with him and I believe this must be true... so I´ll post a link to Link Wray´s site. Link... Wray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanAm Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Link Wray, regarded as the father of the power chord, was one of the most influential rock guitarists of all time. He influenced musicians as diverse as Neil Young, Pete Townshend, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen and Randy Bachman. He created his signature fuzz tone by punching holes in his amplifier. I first became acquainted with his music when I bought a Robert Gordon album in the mid 70's. I was blown away by his playing and determined to find out more about him. He was 3/4 Shawnee Indian and along with Duane Eddy and Dick Dale, he redefined rock guitar playing in the late 50's. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
