Link Wray - The Rock Prophet
-
The Rock Prophet is the best kept secret of Rock N Roll, and only Rock's mighty heroes know about Link Wray and his infamous 3 chords. An unlikely figure responsible for the birth of Rock N Roll, music superstars such as James Brown, Jimi Hendrix idolized him, and Jimmy Page said he would have never picked up a guitar if he hadn't heard him on the radio.
The Native American musician catapulted into the spotlight with his iconic song, Rumble. Born into poverty, he faced adversity his whole life. He was pursued by the Ku Klux Klan, mis-represented by record companies, he even lost a lung during the Korean War and was told he could never sing again.
Why is it that most people don't know about this foundational figure in the history of rock music? The Rock Prophet looks at his life and asks why.
